C++ build systems will be your main blocker, as they're languages in themselves. Autotools, CMake, configuring Visual Studio/etc. Easy tasks: - Challenge yourself by cloning projects reading their README and compiling/running them [1] - Port projects to other platforms (e.g. Windows-only game examples to Linux/Mac/FreeBSD) [2] Codebases I've studied [3]: sdl/graphic widgets: openttd, aseprite, nanogui(-sdl) runtime / abstraction: v8, node, protobuf, skia templates / language integration: pybind11, boost-python wrapping C: libsdl2pp (SDL2 wrapper) small: tmux-mem-cpu-load, uMario_Jakowski huge: blender Architecture / theory: https://aosabook.org/en/wesnoth.html, https://aosabook.org/en/audacity.html, https://aosabook.org/en/cmake.html, https://www.aosabook.org/en/llvm.html Books: Scott Meyers C++ books [1] It's C, but to push myself to gro

Super Mario Remake in SDL/C++

I'm studying FreeBSD, C, C++, SDL2 and CMake. I'd love to highlight some of the open source projects I pitched in with as well as some of my own: - aseprite (http://www.aseprite.org/) is a cross-platform animated sprite editor by David Capello. I got FreeBSD support working [1] and added a shortcut to center the canvas [2]. This was my first C++ commit. If you like retro game art, definitely stop by and check it out. It's GPLv3 and you can build it for free, check out their [github](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/). - uMario (https://github.com/jakowskidev/uMario_Jakowski) is an NES Mario clone in C++ and SDL2. Check out the youtube video [3]. I got it building on Linux, FreeBSD and OS X [4] - Then a couple of tiny C projects with CMake that are sort of boilerplate ATM, but they're my first C programs. The cool thing is they use pe

rmissive licensed libraries and build across platforms since they use CMake. https://github.com/tony/sdl2-playproject / https://github.com/tony/reST-lex-byacc / https://github.com/tony/ncurses-example. On that front, I'm reading a book called "Compiler Design Using FLEX and YACC" by Vinu V. Das, which has been going good. As well as Lazy Foo's SDL tutorial (http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/). - Another thing to mention is automatically rebuilding / reloading scripts when a file is saved. I started using entr(1) for that, http://entrproject.org/. Previously on projects like tmuxp and vcspull I've used sniffer (and looked into watchman) but have found this works best cross-platform. FreeBSD has file watching a bit trickier since we don't have inotify or fsevents. - On the dot-config front (https://github.com/tony/.dot-config / https://github.com/tony/vim-config) got virtualenv + python 3 + vim working together [5], as well as neovim fully compatible with my standard vim-config. I'm now using neovim full time and all my plugins without any problems. They loads asynchronously with NeoBundleLazy and the autocompletion is async thanks to Shougu's deoplete.nvim [6].
