A common way to organize your game objects is by putting them all into one big sorted list. This can be very inefficient once you have a large game world...

Smoke or fluid effects look cool and can give your game a realistic edge, but what if you want to create something more dynamic or custom? In this tutorial,...

In this part of our series, we'll introduce a new mechanic to the character: ledge grabbing. We'll also make appropriate changes to both the pathfinding...

In this tutorial, we'll use the platformer pathfinding algorithm we've been building to power a bot that can follow the path by itself; just click on a...

In this tutorial, we'll extend our grid-based platformer pathfinder so that it can cope with characters that take up more than one cell of the grid.

In this short tutorial, we'll extend our platformer pathfinder so that it can deal with one-way platforms: blocks that the character can jump through and...

Now that we have a good idea of how to modify an A* pathfinding algorithm to work for platformers, it's time to actually code it. Rather than build it from...

In this tutorial, I'll explain a broad overview of how to modify a standard A* pathfinding algorithm to work for platformers by taking into account the way...

Having mastered the basics of shaders, we take a hands-on approach to harnessing the power of the GPU to create realistic, dynamic lighting.

In Part 1, we looked at the basics of writing a graphics shader with ShaderToy. In this part, we look at how to set up our own graphics shader environment on...

In this part of the series, we'll add the missing pieces required to turn the hockey prototype into an actual, playable game. These include a score,...

In this tutorial, we finish coding our hockey game artificial intelligence using steering behaviors and finite state machines. This time, we implement the AI...
