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

      https://ncase.me/sight-and-light/

      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/

            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

                  That sounds like an invitation for me to start yet another WIP. I haven't even posted here about my BurgerFuzion WIP :)

                                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 :)

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