C++ Project

This book is a companion for learning the C++ programming language. It presents some significant concepts applied to a program implementing a multiple balls collision simulator, which will run in real-time in a multi-thread structure. The book explains the program. The goal is to make possible for the reader the improvement of the program or even application to other fields. Nevertheless, this book is neither a complete nor a simplified course. The objective is to be a complementary tool. Examples extending the program include the simplified simulations of a planet and its satellite and the creation of a fictional universe, which the book's second part implements. The elementary simulation of a satellite launching is also partially implemented and is a challenge to the reader, who must complete it by finding the correct parameters. Therefore, this book is also helpful for teaching and studying physics (Newtonian mechanics).

Marcos Tewfiq holds bachelor's degrees in Electronics Engineering (ITA, Brazil), Law, and Economics (both from PUCRS, Brazil). His attention to technology leads him to continuous education, for example, through online courses. It is worth mentioning some achievements related to the subject of this book: Fundamentals of Computing Specialization, by Rice University, through Coursera; C++ Nanodegree Program, by Udacity; Professional Certificate in C Programming with Linux, by Dartmouth College and Institut Mines-Télécom, through edX; 2.086x: Computational Thinking for Modeling and Simulation, by MITx, through edX.
