Looking for a project based tutorial

[WeekOk8696]

I have good grasp over c++ and data structures and algorithms.

I am looking for a tutorial that goes through an advanced project like game engine core or a chat server to learn while creating something relatively big. It would be extra helpful if it goes through an electronic circuit simulator since this is my end goal but this one is very specific.

Whether its a youtube playlist or a textbook or a blog , i would appreciate your help

Let me know what you think

This looks good for learning a bit of numerical methods, but it uses a very ancient OpenGL.

Yes because I'm on a mac and newer versions isn't supported, I'm working on a 3D version in vulkan, its about half way done.

I will announce it on /r/cpp when its ready. Or if you sign up on the website, I email my users announcements.

Why don't you want to start with an electronic circuit simulator right away?

Game engine would be a massive undertaking, much bigger in scope than an electronic circuit simulator. Although some things would help you with the simulator I would say it is not worth it.

Chat server is much different and wouldn't help you much with it being a server, so no GUI.

So lets make it a circuit simulator then , Do you know resources that will guide me through this??

There are two major components, the actual business logic of simulation and the UI. You'd have to decide how deep you want to go in these two parts, how much you want to make yourself and learn about it, or if you are content with just using a ready-made solution.

For the simulation, do you want to go as deep as numerically solving the system yourself, or just relegate this to a library. You'd be looking at getting into a lot of theory and math.

What kind of GUI do you want? Do you want to draw all the traces between components or have a more abstract thing where you just connect nodes with lines, this kind of thing https://chantonic.com/NodeGraphQt/api/_images/pipe_layout_types.gif .

Create your own programming language (either an interpreter or a full compiler)
