+5 Q:

Open source project for learning C++

Can anyone recommend any open source projects written in C++ for educational purposes? Ideally it should be

well written
full of comments
lots of design patterns in use
easy to compile and run
useful to use

Edit: I have some experience in programming (C language) and OOP (Java). I just thought learning C++ with a real project would be interesting.

+1 A:

boost
loki

Boost for learning ? I admit it is nice to use but not exactly nice to understand !

OP said understanding is not an option.

@ereOn Well boost surely has *lots of design patterns in use* and is *useful to use*

@plan9assembler: Where does he says this ? @Mr Shunz: Sure. But it wouldn't be my first choice to teach C++ to someone. No doubt that boost is very well written but suggesting to new-comers to digg into a massive templated code is not right imho.

@ereOn: Okay, OP haven't said understanding is an option.

Kde is made up pf lot of open source sub projects and you can also find the kde hacking guide to get started.

It also meets the requirement you set above.

There is a very similar question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3130683/looking-for-well-presented-well-documented-open-source-projects.

And my answer is the same, try to look at Ogre3D, it's very well documented open-source engine.

Looking for C++ projects. I will have a look at Ogre3D. Thanks.
