Project based books/courses for C++?


I'm learning C++, and I find that I learn best when concepts are introduced in the context of a larger project. However, it seems most resources are giant references with a few code examples or Unreal Engine projects.

You're almost drowning in project-based resources with JavaScript or Python, but I can't find much in the way of C++ other than game development. Does anyone know of any other project-based courses or books for learning the language? Here are some resources I found:

When I want to get aquainted with a new language I like to do a couple of Cryptopals challenges: https://cryptopals.com/

Emulator, compiler, these are the two I'd recommend. You can definitely find ample tutorials and books on the two topics, but maybe for other languages. You can easily switch to C++.

This one https://hackingcpp.com/ is very good with images, with thorough explanations and so forth.
