So I know a little bit about C++ and I have been working with SDL, basically going through the tutorials on the Lazy Foo website. I can understand how certain things are working and such, but I don't really know how to go about and just start making a game.
So for example, I have an image that contains the person I want to put on the screen. So I put him on the screen and I can make him move around. Now lets say I'm making a platformer. Do I have to make images for each platform I want and specifically type the coordinates for each platform I want to place? Or is there an easier way of doing this?
I'm just not sure what to do. I mean I'm going through these tutorials, but I'm not sure how to take them all and implement them into one whole thing.
