Example code and slides for my talk "std::variant and the Power of Pattern Matching"

Example code for my talk "std::variant and the Power of Pattern Matching"

This repository contains the example code shown in my presentation "std::variant and the power of pattern matching". To build, a C++ 17 compatible compiler is required. I have tested it on the following compilers:

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.8.9)
• clang 7.0.0 (with libc++)

In addition, the library SFML is required. I tested versions 2.4 and 2.5. On Mac OS, you can install it via homebrew:

brew install sfml

You can also find the slides for my presentation in the slides directory.

All the code in this repository is shared under the MIT license (see LICENSE).

Blog post

I wrote a guest post for Bartek's coding blog, which focuses specifically on the state machine/space game part of this talk.
