Intro to Programming in C++: Image Processing and Manipulation

(No previous programming experience required. Some experience with Algebra and the concept of variables is highly recommended.)

(Suggested: Pair this with the afternoon workshop "Graphics")

This class introduces concepts of both procedural and object-oriented programming using the C++ programming language. Start by learning about variables, if-statements, loops, and arrays. From there, we'll build an awesome suite of C++ programs that can be used for drawing, editing and manipulating photos and images from the ground up. This class provides an essential toolkit for the budding C++ game programmer.

C++ is a powerful language used for many complex applications including game development. If you're interested in programming in general, C++ is a good place to start.

• Run and compile C++ programs
• Recognize different variable and data types
• Utilize control statements including while and for loops
• Build relational statements using Boolean expressions
• Write you own functions
• Learn about memory allocation, pointers and memory addressing
• Understand arrays
• Speak and understand the C++ programmers’ vocabulary
