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...

With this tutorial, you'll walk away with a solid understanding of parallax scrolling, a classic 2D game technique that has stood the test of time. Whether...

Using a physics engine can add immersion, eye candy, and, best of all, emergent gameplay, but can also, if used incorrectly, lead to unrealistic results or...

Your players will get bored far faster than you would expect if your play spaces don't retain their attention. In this tutorial, I'll show you how you can...

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

It's getting closer and closer to release day, and you're running out of time to finish your game, but you're torn between adding those extra few features...

You may have heard of data-oriented design, a relatively new concept that proposes a different mindset to the more traditional object-oriented design. In...

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....

In many games, the player needs a visual display of the time remaining before being able to perform a certain action, such as casting a spell. Cooldown bars...
