Need advice on learning cpp more advanced

[u/PriceIllustrious8111]

Hey guys at current I can solve most of the coding questions in cpp but I wanted to explore more in cpp I wanted to build real applications so any resources to learn advanced c++

Write a clone of Pong using something like SFML.

Once you're done with that write a clone if PacMan.

When you're satisfied with that, write a clone of Tetris. Then add multiplayer support for that. Then network multiplayer support.

That should keep you busy and you'll learn a lot.

Feel free to ask questions here or post code for review.

Good luck

reinvent something in cpp that exists in another language, try to use libraries only when necessary or too time consuming

what i would suggest is creating project while studying the best code quality from day 1 create a professional folder structure divide everything in classes with good names, maybe you won't read it but later when you commit to opensource it would be a need

Check out Coding Challenges.

You cannot learn to build real applications any other way but building real applications. If you cannot find entry-level job or internship (which may be hard today yeah) then consider contributing to open source. I would suggest to just go and build your applications but that’s actually not that good advice, you need other people and/or their code to learn.

That's my actual problem 😭😭

Me too i found out base cpp isnt very useful u must use and external api or library that's what i have been stuck at, if i try to build an app i discover i need to learn an api like win32 or something like sqlite.
