Handmade Hero Mac OS Platform Layer Day 001

If you're like me, Handmade Hero instantly resonated with you and you wanted to learn how to make games from scratch. The problem is, you've got a Mac and the series starts on a Windows P.C.

What if Casey Muratori had started Handmade Hero on a Mac instead of a P.C.? Where would he have started, and how might it have segued into the rest of the game's development?

That's what I aim to answer in this series.

In this first video, we'll setup a build system on a Mac, completely from scratch exactly the way Casey does it on day one. You will learn about clang, Objective-C, Objective-C++, and the main entry point for all applications that run on Mac OS or iOS.

Any amount helps.

Maybe you are trying to break into the game industry, or maybe you just want to become a better programmer. What would it cost you to enroll in an advanced programming course at your local college? What would you pay for a Unity license to ship a cross-platform game?

Pretty much every tutorial you will see out there starts out in a swamp of mystery. You don’t know how the build system works. You just have to use it. You don’t know how this or that framework solves your problem. You just have to use them.

We’re doing something totally different here. Instead of taking the existing systems at face value, we are questioning what we see and building something better from scratch. If we don’t understand it, we poke and prod at it until we do.

I am doing this 100% in my spare time at no charge. Every contribution helps nudge me ever-so-slightly towards doing it full-time. Were I able to support myself with this work, it would unlock a blizzard of content that, I think, would make all of us better at the craft.
