Learning C++ gamedev using SFML

Crank

I am writing this game while learning C++ gamedev using a book “SFML Game Development”. So most of the code mimics the book samples but is adopted to my own needs as I progress through the book chapters.

Book & Game progress:

• 01 Intro: Base game loop with simple ship controls.
• 02 Resources: ResourceManager, Loading textures & fonts.
• 03 World: Scene management, SceneGraph, Entities, Sprites.
• 04 Input: Commands, Events, Realtime Input.
• 05 States: Game States, State Management etc.
• 06 Menus: Base Gui, MenuState, Settings, Control bindings.
• 07 Gameplay: Game Rules, Enemies, Projectiles, Collision Detection, Pickups, GameOver.
• 08 Graphics: Particle System, Smoke, Propellant, Shaders, PostEffect, BloomEffect.
• 09 Audio: Positional Sound Effects, Game Music, Shooting, Explosion sounds.
• 10 Network: Realtime Game Server.

On the way:

• 11 Entities: Entity Component System.
• 12 Scripting: Scripting Language, Text Based Configuration, Entity Definitions.

The Game

A man found himself awaked in a spaceship floating through deep space. He does not remember anything before that moment. So you as a player should help him to find out what the hell has happened.
