Here’s a fun one if anyone wants to give it a try - how to make shadows and line-of-sight in 2D :)

That’s a great article! I was actually toying with doing something similar for the game jam, but I wasn’t sure I could finish it in time.
I will definitely try this out in a future game!

Love that effect but I scrolled down to the first maths bit and nope.. I'll pass!
hopefully some people will make some fuze games using it. -
Ever wanted to make an old-school racer like Hang-On or Outrun? Well, you’ll get a good start here: http://www.extentofthejam.com/pseudo/
EDIT: here it is explained more fully and with more diagrams. If you were put off by the maths in the first one, have a look at this: https://codeincomplete.com/articles/javascript-racer-v1-straight/

@toxibunny thanks for this i did try a while ago maybe another bash at it in the near future

Another great find, @toxibunny ! After reading the articles, I feel the urge to make an Outrun game!
Maybe one day...

@waldron very inspiring - like it
21:33 "dream no small dreams" "go big or go home" -> additional interpretation: its ok to start many WIPs just because it could be cool ;-)
29:02 "a game has a finite amount of resources" -> oh yeah, free-time, length of the night, he suggest to watch the scope and use "modular" principle: re-use wherever possible -

"An experimental game where you rewrite bread and it's sort of a parody."
Haha, what does that even mean. -
Idek lol it is random to generate ideas and is a true madness of silly ideas

Rewrite bread huh?

A handy video diving into sprite camera's with different set-ups -
An article about different approaches to AI for your baddies and npcs. Gives a quick overview from the very simplest to stuff I had to skip past to avoid a headache. Good to get you thinking though :)

@Doriphor I tried watching that video, it's 47mins long and by the time it got to 1 min and 9 seconds it was over my head and I had no idea what he was on about. lol

Nice article about designing video games bosses. Since that is exactly what I'm doing at the moment, I found it very interesting...
