C++ Master Projects Volume 3: Games, AI & Production: Practical App Development in Graphics, Simulation, Machine-learning Tools, and Deployment Pipeli

By Liam Ashbourne

Volume 3 brings creativity and production-ready engineering together. Through 18 ambitious projects, you'll build 2D game prototypes, graphics demos using OpenGL/SFML, small machine learning utilities, real-time simulation tools, and end-to-end production pipelines including CMake packaging, unit/integration testing, and cross-platform deployment. Learn advanced optimization techniques profiling hotspots, cache-friendly data layout, SIMD hints, and parallel algorithms to squeeze every last drop of performance from native code.
This book also covers integration with third-party libraries (TensorFlow C++ API or lightweight ML libraries), asset pipelines for games, input handling, and practical deployment strategies for desktop and embedded targets.
Who this book is for: Advanced C++ developers, game programmers, ML engineers wanting native tooling, and professionals building high-performance applications.
