About The Cherno
The Cherno is Yan Chernikov's programming channel, centred on C++, game engines and understanding how software is built. The videos suit viewers who want to follow implementation choices and inspect code rather than only see a finished application.
His channel description identifies Hazel as the game engine he is developing. That gives the lessons a continuing project to refer back to: viewers can connect a discussion about a programming technique to the larger engine it supports.
Recent coverage also explores AI in game-engine development. When choosing a starting point, distinguish an introductory programming lesson from a project update or a discussion about generated code. Each assumes a different amount of context, and a long-running build is easier to follow when you understand the surrounding architecture.
