Résumé

Game Programming Golden Rules provides indispensable techniques that should be part of every game programmer's arsenal. Written as a series of easy-to-remember rules, the book provides a building block approach in which each new rule builds upon the previous one. Each rule is written as a simple principle and covered from the perspective of how it works in the overall structure of a game project. Topics covered include effective searching and spatial partitioning to data optimization, finite state machines, data driven game systems, and scripting languages. By mastering these areas and applying the rules, programmers learn how to ease the workload for themselves and the rest of the team, resulting in a less painful, smoother, and faster game development cycle. By the end of the book, readers will have deeper confidence and a more profound understanding of the essential techniques of game programming. This book is an excellent resource for those wanting to break into the industry as well as seasoned veterans looking to enhance and refine their skills.
