        "An experimental game where you rewrite bread and it's sort of a parody."
        Haha, what does that even mean.

                  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 :)

                    I've been subscribed to this channel for a while, but I found one of his videos that might be a great addition to this list:

                        @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...

                                I have just found this page about making functions to play musical scales and chords. It walks you through it, beginning to end, full pseudocode.

                                    I thought this was a great article about designing shmups. I really tried to take in as many of these tips as possible when designing my latest game.

                                      I had posted this elsewhere already but posting here also for other people when they watch it. Tweening functions are just simple functions you do on a value between 0 and 1 and change how the value goes from 0 to 1. You can then use that value for things like positions, opacity, colors, scaling etc basically anything you can think off to "animate" certain things.

                                      Here are 2 videos, the 1st video shows what you can do with tweening (and a bit of other things but it was mostly tweens) and the 2nd one shows the (simple) maths todo it. Fuze even has a build in smoothstep function.

                                      what tweening can accomplish:

                                      the maths (it's very simple)

                                        (it's very simple)? I barely got 2 mins in and I had no idea what the hell he was talking about.

                                          @SteveZX81 neither did i, the beginning is not important, the functions like smoothstep etc are
