So you want to do Graphics/Game programming with C++?

So you want to do graphics programming in C++? Well you've come to the right place.

This post will link to my other tutorials on how to use SFML in C++ for an easy start with graphics programming.

Intro: What is SFML?

SFML is an amazing and versatile graphics library for C++. In SFML you can:

• Display images
• Resize, move, and rotate them
• Move the view around
• Play sounds
• Display text

It may not sound like much, but it is really all you need to create a 2D game in C++.

Please know that you are not going to be creating any 3D games with SFML (unless you use it as a wrapper for OpenGL, but that's more complex and may be covered in a later tutorial.)
