Why place tiles by hand when your code can do it for you? This useful technique will save you time and energy by evaluating each tile's neighbors and...

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...

In this tutorial, we'll examine the use of physics to simulate projectile effects in games like Angry Birds. Using this knowledge, we'll build a working game...

In this article, we'll examine the use of physics to simulate projectile effects in games like Angry Birds. We'll look at the basics of using 2D physics in...

In this extra-long tutorial, I'll break down the source for Monster Wants Candy, a multi-platform game my colleague and I built with Phaser, the HTML5 game...

In this tutorial, I'll help you make your first HTML5 game that is controlled by a Leap Motion Controller, using the Kiwi.js engine—a relatively new game...

In this tutorial, we continue coding artificial intelligence for a hockey game using steering behaviors and finite state machines. In this part of the...

If you're going to make an action, sports, or strategy game with many units controlled by the computer, you will need some serious artificial intelligence....

A finite-state machine is a model used to represent and control execution flow. It is perfect for implementing AI in games, producing great results without a...

Many games require the use of collision detection algorithms to determine when two objects have collided, but these algorithms are often expensive operations...

The Separating Axis Theorem is often used to check for collisions between two simple polygons, or between a polygon and a circle. As with all algorithms, it...
