Chapter 6.  Object-Oriented Programming, Classes, and SFML Views

This is the longest chapter of the book. There is a fair amount of theory, but the theory will give us the knowledge to start using Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) to powerful effect. Furthermore, we will not waste any time in putting that theory to good use. Before we explore C++ OOP, we will find out about and plan our next game project.

This is what we will do in the following chapter:

• Plan the Zombie Arena game
• Learn about OOP and classes
• Code the Player class
• Learn about the SFML View class
• Build the Zombie Arena game engine
• Put the Player class to work
