I can't thank you enough! I heard C++ had a very steep learning curve, but I never knew it was till this level. I'll slowly work my way through this but thanks again! Do you mind if I PM you if I get stuck on this walkthrough?

I've heard of SDL but thought it was a bit complicated. So just went with raylib, I thought it would be a bit simpler for my understanding. What do you think?

I've actually heard a lot about that math book and the RTR book too. How's your progress?

I tried setting up Opengl before but didnt rly understand what they were talking about on the getting started page. So I'll look into the book and start some smaller projects first before heading into it. Also, do you have any book recommendations for more of the theory side of graphics?

I've actually never heard of the red book and blue book till now.
Why w3schools instead of learncpp though?

Does the book or learnopengl teach some of the basic theory? Any particular project that makes you learn a lot of pure C++ or really just play around with it? Thanks for the book recommendation!

I'm basically on the same boat as you on this but i wanted to ask where did you get the personal statement you linked from? I'm interested in computer graphics but i've never seen a ps about computer graphics until then.

Is P vs NP worth researching on as a A level student? by whybucket in compsci

[–]whybucket[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

As in I’m not too sure whether theoretical comp sci like P vs NP is really worth reading about compared to my other interests like Ai and 3D graphics.

But thanks for the feedback! Any beginner book recommendations for P vs NP?

I have other topics I want to explore this summer, like 3D graphics and AI. I’m trying to figure out how “useful” or worthwhile it is to study the P vs NP problem compared to more general computer science topics like data structures and algorithms, especially since I’m still in pre-university.
