LeetCode-Solutions VS SFML

Here's the classic. Pretty much everyone knows about LeetCode's platform nowadays, and for good reason. It's an expansive library of over 2500 questions grouped into topic-specific lists. Mainly used for interview preparation, it's also a good platform to just spend time working through problems for the sheer knowledge about problem-solving and DSA you'll learn.

Once you get the foundation down then start challenging yourself by solving a range of problems: https://leetcode.com/problemset/all/

I'd also recommend creating an account on here. The platform has a technical question base similar to LeetCode, and making an account saves your progress on the challenges. It's free to make an account, and pretty much all of the important features of the site are free.

If you can do most of the problems here, plus some more role-specific knowledge then you'll probably be good to go. Maybe something like system design, smart contracts.

The second focus of the day was technical challenges. These were all problems that somewhat reminded me of Advent of Code or even LeetCode's collection. They were all technical-related problems that required a strong understanding of algorithms and problem-solving.

SFML (zlib/C++) https://github.com/SFML/SFML

SDL or SFML for drawing. They are both gfx libs but are used differently so read about what you thing suits you better.

Make a game with https://www.sfml-dev.org/ (I used SFML Rust to start learning Rust)

If you want a strict C++ equivalent to SDL the clear answer is SFML. If you just want to visualize 2D/3D data there's matplot++. If you want something slightly higher-level than SDL/SFML (with pre-made UI widgets and such) there's imGUI. If you need an all-in-one GUI solution for desktop or mobile apps there's Qt.

https://www.sfml-dev.org/ and https://www.raylib.com/ are two alternatives to SDL.
