Asteroids in C++ and SDL

Idea and Goal of the project

The project's main goal was to learn SDL, different design patterns, and game development in general. To spice things up, I set myself a rule to not have any memory allocations in runtime, which has caused me a lot of headaches, but I learned a lot about memory management and memory leaks.

Concepts learned

• SDL
• Entity Component System
• Data Oriented Design
• Bitwise Operations
• Error Handling with asserts
• C++ Templates
• Operator Overloading
• Collision Detection
• Memory Management
• Perforce Version Control
• Visual Studio Project Configuration and Debugging
• Game loop, delta time, event polling, and many more...
