1. Hi I am josephi(Not my real name) and I started learning c++ about 4 years ago then stopped, then started again during lockdown. I learned how to use an obscure graphics library for c++ that didn't really work, but then I discovered Raylib and I made a simple little game. after that, I followed a Unity tutorial series by Brackeys and tried to make a first-person shooter, as you can expect that didn't go well so then I started using Gbdk to make game boy games, and then I started making games without a library in c++ and made games that ran in the command line/console.
