Get on your feet fast with Ruby game programming. Seven articles in total show you how to use Rubygame to create a Space Invaders clone using Ruby.

One of the biggest features lacking in most small games and even larger games is some form of intelligent computer player. This article series is aimed to get you, the developer, to start thinking outside of the box when it comes to creating your game’s AI players. We will eventually be discussing what a genetic algorithm is as well as neural networks but for now, we need to start with the basics.

In this lesson, which is the first part of a multi-part miniseries on projections, you will learn how to use the game-math library to create a first-person game in a 3D world. Before getting into the technical details, I am going to give you some background.

This tutorial is meant for people new to jME. We will make use of ParticleEffects for the explosions, a Controller to shoot the Firework into the Sky and some 3DTest.

If you're interested in developing a game for the Android platform, there is a lot you need to know. If you have previous experience with game development, moving over to the Android platform won't be all that difficult. You will mostly just need to learn the architecture and API. If you're new to game development, Here is a list of must-knows for getting started in Android game development. This is a good starting point for developers seeking to write any type of mobile game.

Implementing a game using Silverlight is a good way to learn its more advanced aspects. Dave Wheeler shows us how, and has some fun on the way.

This article shows you how to use the Flint particle system together with Papervision to create some cool 3D Flash effects.

This is a story about how I took an idea and made it into a commercial game. In this article I will try to focus on how to get a game done - a problem many independent developers face. During the development of my game, Asterope, I took a lot of screenshots from many of the development stages that show how the game gradually came to life. Hope you enjoy the read and learn something!

In this in-depth technical article, originally published in Game Developer magazine, Neversoft co-founder West examines how procedural generated content and compression can lead to expanding vistas for your open-world games.

This lesson is the first part of a two-part mini-series on the vector dot product. By the time you finish both parts, you will learn the fundamentals of the vector dot product in both 2D and 3D, you will learn how to update the game-math library to support various aspects of the vector dot product, and you will learn how to write 2D and 3D programs that use the vector dot product for various applications such as the back-face culling procedure that was used to convert the left image in Figure 1 to the right image in Figure 1.

We’ve all had those moments, when you have no inspiration for creating another game, or when you don’t know what to do next in your current project. To writers, it’s known as “writer’s block”. To us, it’s just an inspirational slump. Here are some techniques to overcoming this block of inspiration.

Adobe's new Pixel Bender technology in Flash Player 10 is great because it allows totally custom realtime graphics filters and fast parallel computation. But the specialized Pixel Bender language means the learning curve can be high. Conduit is a visual tool that makes it easy to take advantage of Pixel Bender without writing code.

Demonstration of simple Tic-Tac-Toe AI written completely in Java Script using Minimax method. Source code provided :)

The two questions that I needed to solve were: 1. How do I store these collections of information? 2. How do I reference individual items in that collection from elsewhere in the game?

We all know who Benjamin Franklin is, one of the greatest Americans in history. His brilliant ideas have survived the centuries without any signs of disappearing. One of his greatest ideas was the idea of personal development. To assist himself in his development as a human, he created a list of thirteen virtues which he would try to focus on following. These virtues can all be applied to the game development process, as I will show you today.
