The Factory Method - Programming Design Patterns - Ep 1 - C++ Coding

In this episode we introduce the series and talk about the first pattern, which is a pattern to help create and manage things in your program. Repo: https://github.com/codetechandtutorials/DesignPatterns --- Chapters: 0:00 Intro 2:10 New CMake Project 3:53 Theory 5:39 Coding A Factory 35:55 The Clone Variant 42:22 Outro --- Errata: edit: notably this does not cover everything about the factory method, as some have pointed out. I may do a follow-up, but in the mean time if you are interested, I would suggest doing some additional reading on the subject at a place like this: https://springframework.guru/gang-of-four-design-patterns/ --- Supplement book links ▶ https://amzn.to/3Q9oEMS - Gang of Four ▶ https://amzn.to/3tGRJ8T - Game Programming Patterns ▶ https://amzn.to/3Op5tNE - Game Engine Black Book: DOOM: v1.1 ▶ https://amzn.to/3N1i48g - Game Engine Black Book Wolfenstein 3D: v2.1 ▶ https://amzn.to/3N1J7k6 - Michael Abrash's Graphics Programming Black Book (Special Edition) --- Notable Video Resources: ▶ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69849/factory-pattern-when-to-use-factory-methods --- Video Written, Edited, & Produced By: ▶ Matthew Early --- Thanks for watching!
