I'm just looking for some books to help me study in general C++;

  • Code Structure
  • Data Types
  • Memory
  • Fundamentals of C++

I'm a student studying programming for VFX and Graphics at university but would just like to have more experience outside of engine specific C++. As much as it's fun, it's pretty useless outside of Unreal engine as an example. I currently only have Effective Modern C++ and started reading it a day ago or so.

If u said that to me irl id slap you

#

It’s not useless you just don’t know how to use it

#

Start looking at the windows api

heady scroll
#

What Unreal specific programming?

sweet lake
#

what

heady scroll
#

Engine specific programming yeah. I don't like programming inside an engine

#

It feels handed like I'm not actually understanding what's going on.

#

The knowledge doesn't feel like it translates.

#

Maybe structure, practices ext but half of what I've currently been doing in UE has felt like I'm putting Lego together

#

I'm sure it gets more complex than that but in the end I'm learning how to code in unreal engine.

sweet lake
#

Learn the windows api

#

Then build things with visual studio

heady scroll
#

Ive been told that by a good friend of mine.

sweet lake
#

What do you want to do with c++

heady scroll
#

Ive done some C++ projects already but its pretty primative in uni with no real level of detail

sweet lake
#

Besides unreal

#

Once u learn the windows api you can do real cool stuff

heady scroll
#

Yeah im very familiar with computers and have a decent knowledge because ive used them for a very long time

#

and the people I hung out with online were developers

sweet lake
#

Okay but

#

Did you learn c++ because they told you to

#

Or because you chose it

#

Because I meet people irl who are like “I learned it because it looks cool”

#

Hoping that isn’t you

heady scroll
#

No I dont talk to them anymore, It wasn't a good community

#

Ive programmed my whole life just in school and in python ext

sweet lake
#

Oh

heady scroll
#

I just want to progress more

sweet lake
#

Python is fun I like cmu academy

heady scroll
#

Python didnt go much futher than making a tetris game and then a conditional ai to play it

sweet lake
#

You’re in hs? Or college

heady scroll
#

University

sweet lake
#

What year

heady scroll
#

Only first

sweet lake
#

Pick a niche

#

Like something u wanna do

#

Inside of cs

heady scroll
#

Yeah I have some ideas

sweet lake
#

I chose anti cheat

#

So I just reverse games all day pretty much

heady scroll
#

My friend developed an anti cheat

#

like an actually half decent one

sweet lake
heady scroll
#

better than free eac

sweet lake
#

Doubt that

#

☠️

#

Send a link

heady scroll
#

EOS

sweet lake
#

send it to me

heady scroll
#

Well it looks good

#

ya

sweet lake
#

Doesn’t mean it is good

#

Lmao

#

Also eoseac is good if implemented correctly

heady scroll
heady scroll
#

Which is a majority on the market

sweet lake
#

You think it isn’t good but in reality it’s because you don’t understand

#

90% of p2cs are kdmapper + GitHub rw driver

sweet lake
heady scroll
sweet lake
#

Anyway

#

Send me a demo

heady scroll
#

Of what?

heady scroll
#

its counterintuitive though because he develops cheats

sweet lake
#

Oh

heady scroll
#

He does a fair amount of projects

sweet lake
#

has he touched anti cheat himself

#

Besides from

#

Whatever he’s madd

heady scroll

Yeah he has

#

I dont really want to say here LOL
