I'm Rob Helmer, a software engineer with 20 years of experience building impactful projects and solving complex problems with code. https://www.rhelmer.org
Decided to learn modern C++ by building a game engine instead of Hello World.
Now I have: ECS architecture, OpenGL renderer, cross-platform builds, and a working space shooter demo.
Was this overkill? Yes. Would I do it again? Also yes. 🎮
