Ever wonder what the difference is between CMake and GNU Make? Answers online tend to focus on how CMake is a meta-build system, has a mouse clicky GUI interface available,...

I had a look at the most common questions about CMake that people ask Google. Some of them had rather poor answers.

in Part 9 of this challenge, Scarfy was happily jumping and running around in his 2D world, and even had background music. That's a great achievement, but rather boring.

My previous CMake tutorial taught the basics: how to compile multiple source files into one program.

I've noticed C++ beginners asking how to compile code beyond the usual minimal examples. It seems that many tutorials are so busy explaining basics such as variables, if/else flow-control, &...

I used to avoid CMake like the plague, and hated how everyone else seemed to use it for their C++ projects (it's the de-facto standard for C++).

In part 8 of this challenge, physics simulation was added so that Scarfy could walk on the terrain. Today, I'm going to add atmosphere with background music.

Part 7 of this challenge got a 2D camera working that smoothly tracks the player. Everything looks great until Scarfy walks too far in either direction.

The AmiWest Amiga computer show was last weekend, and I unveiled some of what's coming for ZitaFTP Server.
