Roundbeargames | [C++ Tutorial #17] Pointer Basics - GameDev Prep Course @Roundbeargames | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Pointers and/or reference types are essential in any game. In this video I try to answer questions like "why use pointers?" but really it's more about "how and when?"

You can still express many things in a console app.
By using for loops, iterations, arrays, etc, you can create a whole video game in it. Well get to that soon.
For now dont worry about the symbols not showing up. Later were going to use a library to render images instead.
