Embark on an extensive 18-hour tutorial series designed for beginners to master C++ programming. Start with the basics of installation and "Hello World" programs, then progress through fundamental concepts like variables, data types, and control structures. Explore arrays, functions, and object-oriented programming principles including classes, constructors, and inheritance. Dive into more advanced topics such as pointers, memory allocation, and namespaces. Apply your knowledge by creating a particle fire explosion simulation using the Simple Direct Media Layer (SDL) library. Conclude with insights on object-oriented design, creating libraries, and guidance for further learning in C++ development.
