Learning SDL2 in 48 Hours - GMTK Game Jam 2020
Chapters
I used the 2020 GMTK Game Jam as an opportunity to try to learn how to use C++ with SDL2, a low level audio, input, and graphics library that you've probably heard of. In 2 days I was able to put together a simple game, and I learned a lot along the way!
