We live in a time where software makes software development so much faster and simpler. Writing a simple hello world program in C++ is as simple as installing an IDE (integrated development environment), write a cout statement and then press build. The IDE makes the process nice and simple, but […]
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is an important concept to understand as a software developer. Most of the software you will encounter or work with will employ OOP in some way.
It is simple to perform a single task, but when you want to add in more tasks the difficulty and complexity increases. Without a structural way to handle multiple tasks, you will end up with a mess at the end. The code will be difficult to read and debug. Making […]
Arduino is a great platform for embedded system projects. You can quickly turn your ideas into actual prototypes. There are massive communities and support online, where you can get help easily. You can even use C++ and not be limited to using C.
Polymorphism is a key component to object-oriented programming (OOP). OOP is a popular design choice in software development. Because OOP is frequently used, it is vital that you are familiar with the concept of polymorphism.
Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) is a powerful game engine written in C++. You are limiting what you can do in UE4 if you do not learn any C++. Knowing about core concepts to C++ such as inheritance will benefit you whether you are a programmer or designer.
Developing for Virtual Reality (VR) is a new and exciting challenge. Developers are faced with the challenges of the human biology, which was not too apparent in traditional games. A few dropped frames here and there might be forgiven, but not for VR. A few frame drops can make the […]
Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) is great for Virtual Reality (VR) development because it offers those that does know how to code an alternative with its Blueprint (BP) system. BP offers convenience by giving you nodes that you can call for common tasks. For the majority of people, this is enough to […]
One of the most challenging aspects of virtual reality (VR) development is meeting the spec requirements with our current level of hardware. VR is resource heavy and may affect the time driven events you are developing in your project. The reason for this is that there are three main ways […]
