C++ Video Tutorials Beginner - Intermediate Game Programming

Will you suggest some C++ video tutorials that would be beneficial to me for reviewing beginner level C++ usage in game programming and for escalating my C++ skills to an intermediate level of understanding?

Most of this is OpenGL based.

Jorge Rodriguez's Game math playlist. More about the math but lots of C++ code as well. Examples are mostly using OpenGL but the videos include general game math info aside from the OpenGL.

The Cherno's old OpenGL playlist. (The new one moves waaaayyyy too slow and isn't as good IMHO) Watch Eps 1-3 (maybe the first 4 non-episodes are helpful as well, not sure) to get GLFW setup and maybe check out Jamie Kings videos below and then come back to this after. Or keep going.

Jamie King game engine playlist. I would recommend using GLFW instead of QT (using The Cherno's code from EP 1-3 above) and skipping the GTesting. Not the greatest audio. Has some great insights into how OpenGL and works as well as general info not found elsewhere.

If you want to go DirectX route, this is about as good as I've found to get started.

I see the "Unreal" tag. Try to find tutorials about C++ in Unreal Engine and do not forget about practice. You need to have 80% of practice and 20% of theory.

I missed that.

For Unreal C++ programming, by far the most popular course is

I've never seen it and it costs money (under $20 on sale). It's over 40 hours long.

Yes, Ben Tristem is a very good teacher. I like his Blender and Unity tutorials.
