This is the first in a series of tutorials in which we will create a synthesizer based audio engine that can generate sounds for retro-styled games. The...

Welcome to a new series of Quick Tips on Object-Oriented Programming! We'll be going over the principles of OOP and how they can be used to create organized...

Steering behaviors aim to help autonomous characters move in a realistic manner, by using simple forces that combine to produce life-like, improvisational...

A pseudo random number generator (PRNG) like the Random Class in C# is not a true random number generator: its goal is to approximate randomness with speed....

Steering behaviors aim to help autonomous characters move in a realistic manner, by using simple forces that are combined to produce life-like,...

In the previous tutorial, we created a bare-bones component-based Entity system. Now we'll use this system to create a simple Asteroids game.

Organising your game code into component-based entities, rather than relying only on class inheritance, is a popular approach in game development. In this...

In my previous Tetris tutorial, I showed you how to handle collision detection in Tetris. Now let's take a look at the other important aspect of the game:...

Most of the time, using conventional graphic techniques is the right way to go. Sometimes, though, experimentation and creativity at the fundamental levels...

I'm sure it's possible to create a Tetris game with a point-and-click gamedev tool, but I could never figure out how. Today, I'm more comfortable thinking at...

Commonly used in tile-based games, tile masks let you change a tile depending on its neighbours, allowing you to blend terrains, replace tiles, and more. In...

Most collision detection in computer games is done using the AABB technique: very simply, if two rectangles intersect, then a collision has occurred. It's...
