Game-dev guides and deep-dives

I've written illustrated tutorials covering many advanced game-dev topics.

I've consolidated all of these tutorials into one list here, which hopefully makes things more discoverable.

I've been working on 2D platformers in Godot, but most of these topics apply to any game genre and any game engine.

• How to build a platformer AI: From low-level trajectories to high-level behaviors

• Part 1: Basic movement

• Part 2: AI, graphs, and surfaces

• Part 3: Calculating jump trajectories

• Part 4: The platform graph and navigation

• Part 5: Character behaviors

• Implementing multi-touch camera controls (with inertia!)

• Tap-to-select: Common pitfalls and a robust solution

• Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey: Tracking time in games

• Snoring Cat: Forming a single-member LLC in Washington State

• Finding a path to an arbitrary point in a platformer

• An easy Godot proxy pattern with read-only reflection

• Godot vs Unity: First impressions with Unity

• Rotating a character to match a surface slope

• An illustrated explanation of corner-match autotiling

• Leaderboards: Coming in last place

• Getting that game-dev job

🎉 Cheers!
