Tools to make a Game Engine in C++

This video is a summary of my favorite C++ libraries and dependencies to create a game engine from scratch.

Game development has always been a great helper to get my students motivated to learn more about more advanced computer science topics. Creating a game engine is a great opportunity for us to grow as programmers.
