After learning the basics of C++, it’s a great idea to complete at least one hands-on project where you can build something from scratch using C++. This course offers the opportunity to build a basic but classic Rock Paper Scissors game, command-line style. You’ll begin the course by looking at the end product and then building the game step-by-step, adding one tiny feature in each lesson. This way, you’ll add one or two helper functions to the codebase and then test them individually in the main controller function. Because of this modular approach, you’ll finish coding the game efficiently and professionally. By the end of the course, you’ll have one complete hands-on project in C++ added to your profile. That’s a great start!
