Amit’s Game Programming Information.  Bookmarks collected while working on games. As a result the set of links here reflects the types of things needed to know: only a few specific topics (not everything related to game programming), general ideas instead of platform-specific information (graphics, sound, compilers), and ideas and designs instead of source code.

Gamedev Game Development News:-

Game Developer Magazine 2008 Front Line Award Winners The editors of Think Services' Game Developer magazine have named the winners for the 2008 Front Line Awards, the magazine's eleventh annual evaluation of the year's best game-making tools in the categories of programming, art, audio, game engine, middleware, and books. In addition, the magazine has revealed that the Unreal Engine series, Epic Games' popular multi-platform game engine, is this year's inductee to the Front Line Awards Hall of Fame. Each year, honor is bestowed upon a product that has made an outstanding contribution to the game development industry for five years or more. All winners will be profiled in the January 2009 issue of Game Developer, available to subscribers in early January.   Mobile Games Creation Contest for Independent Developers by Sun & Mo'Minis Sun Microsystems & Mo'Minis had announced the first contest for rapid development of mobile games using Mo'Minis Studio - Game Development Platform.

Full feature additions after the jump.   The Daily GameDev.net As predicted, Microsoft has released the list of the top Xbox Live games as well as the more interesting Xbox Live Arcade purchases of 2008. Disappointingly, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Doom feature prominently, but there is some good news in there. Here's hoping there's fewer sloppy ports mass-consumed in 2009. Jack Thompson's quest to be dis-disbarred continues, with news of his petition to the United States Supreme Court. Presumably, they have better to do than listen to him, but if they do hear his case, it should make for the most entertaining nation-wide news possible. It's not like it's impossible; it appears that The Almighty does his economic bidding already, so it's not a huge leap to imagine that Jack could force the Supreme Court to hear the case through divine threats of pestilence and mass flooding. In independent news, the Global Game Jam has been announced for January 30. If it's not taking place in your region, why not contact them and take the initiative to start your own? Before you go today, you absolutely must try Derek Yu's Spelunky!, which has been getting deservedly rave reviews across the entire Internet. It mixes the fun of platform adventuring with vicious, arbitrary brutalizations of your hapless explorer. Another independent game which has been getting positive press is Gravity Bone, a stylish espionage thriller which, albeit short, looks delectable. The Daily GameDev.net HAPPY NEW YEAR!! It's with great pleasure that I ring in the New Year here at GDNet and welcome you to the first Daily of 2009. Just yesterday we were all looking back at 2008, and now our sights have once again been turned forwards and ahead to what this new year will bring us all. Annnd I'm going to stop right there and just get on with it. New Years Resolutions for the Game Industry. Leigh Alexander from Gamasutra has a monthly column over on Kotaku, and this month she uses it to go over ways she believes the industry can better tackle 2009. Her resolutions include no more deluges of games during the holiday season, keeping things small and shooting for more long-tail products, and giving more recognition to each and every team member involved in a title (something the IGDA's credit standards committee is working hard at right now). She also covers some resolutions for gamers as well. What do you think the industry should do to make itself better in 2009 given the recent economic downturn? [Full Story] Experimental Gameplay 2009 accepting submissions. Indie developers listen up! Here's a great chance to showcase your game. The Experimental Gameplay sessions are given during GDC and have helped springboard games like fl0w, Everyday Shooter and (of course) Braid into the spotlight. The organizers, including its founder Jonathan Blow, are looking for novel game mechanics, emergent gameplay, interactive storytelling, and innovative UI. So if you think your game has what it takes then send it in - submissions are due by February 16, 2009. [Full Story] 2008 Year in Review. I'm not a big fan of "Top X Whatever of Whatever" lists, as they always appear highly subjective to me unless they're based on some sort of data and not the author's sole opinion. However, I am a fan of looking back over a year and remembering all the key things that went down throughout that time. Okay, this can still be subjective as well but for the most part Big Stories are Big Stories to everyone. Leigh Alexander has a 4-part series over at Gamasutra detailing the major events of each quarter of 2008. Live and learn people, and to do that you have to remember what came before. [Full Story] Top Ten Indie Stories of 2008. And what better way showcase my hypocrisy and follow up my quick rant about Top X lists than to feature one myself? Well in this case I happen to have great respect for the author, Andy Schatz, who runs down what he thinks were the most noteworthy indie stories of 2008. It also helps that he's an indie developer who's made great strides in the industry and is more than capable of recognizing important events that have transpired over this past year. So check it out, and revel in my hypocritical self-subjective nature. [Full Story] I Get Your Fail. I stumbled across this blog a few days ago - love it and can't beleive I haven't heard about it until now. It collects various pieces of FAIL from around the game development industry, from render errors to funny screenshots to code that will make you go WTF. Submissions can be made anonymously so if you're ever frustrated by some stupid piece of code from your idiot coworker or happen across an in-game bug that's just priceless, the only thing stopping you from sharing is your own morality. Warning to everyone: I have none. Bwaaahahahaha. [Full Story] Finally, I recently came out and shared my traumatic experience of being sexually assaulted in Sony's Playstation Home. It was a tough decision, but I decided that sharing my pain would be best for myself and others still unaware of this gross atrocity. (And it's helped me not cry myself to sleep at night). I dream of the day that PvP is implemented. Take note, hackers.   Tales from Journal Land: New Years Edition I'm going to be up in the Poconos Mountains in north-eastern Pennsylvania later tonight and the rest of this week. Why should you care? Because despite my wishing there's internet at the house everytime I go up (it's a duplex and my friends and I stay on the bottom floor) I know there won't be - it's an old couple occupying the house upstairs permanently and they don't seem to be the technological type. So that means no Weekend Reading this weekend, so you get a special New Years Edition of Tales instead of having to wait until next Friday. I know, I'm such a nice guy. In other news, Tiffany may or may not be posting a Daily for today, mittens isn't posting one for Friday (unless you all guilt trip him perhaps, hahaha) and I plan to have one for tomorrow if I have time to compile it before I leave. Which I should probably get to. Happy New Years, see you all in 2009! Journal Land Pick of the Week On the path with a ramblin' man - jollyjeffers talks a bit more in-depth about the newly-released eBook Programming Vertex, Geometry, and Pixel Shaders, which has been published to the GDWiki. Specifically, he traces the timeline of the book's development back to its origins, and talks about where the team of authors and GDNet are planning to take the book in the future. If you haven't checked it out yet (like if the Wiki was down - sorry!) then certainly stop by and give it a read over. Edits and suggestions are welcome too as the authors prep the print version targeted at DirectX 11. The Daily GameDev.Net I apologize for this Truly Phoned In GameDev.Net Daily. It's been a rough week. Didn't even realize it was Tuesday until someone mentioned it to me. The MMO world is usually good for ridiculous news of some sort. This time, Worlds.com is suing NCSoft for infringing on a patent entitled "System and Method for Enabling Users to Interact in a Virtual Space." It sounds like a very broad patent, but apparently Worlds.com feels it can be leveraged in court. They're seeking a permanent injunction against NCSoft plus royalties, which I can only assume is lawyer speak for "we don't care who's right, just give us a big settlement and we'll leave." In the console world, there's been ripples because of an iSuppli report about the PS3's manufacturing cost. I've been unable to find any discussion or analysis of whether iSuppli, an independent analyst, is actually even vaguely credible. They publish reports like this every so often, with their estimates of how much various hardware costs the manufacturer to make. The linked article extrapolates to claim that this is primarily why the PS3 cannot price drop into a more competitive segment, and that the extra value it affords (like Blu Ray support) simply isn't going to move units. Lastly, Gamasutra has published its Top 10 XNA Community Games of 2008 list. Personally I think that James Silva's Dishwasher would have topped the list, except that it's actually being published as a full Xbox Live Arcade title. That's not to belittle anyone on the list, of course -- it's an expression of the quality of some of these games. There's fantastic work here, and all of them have free trials for you to go download and play on your Xbox. And you should, if you have one. I was going to give you guys a closing video, but it turns out I left for vacation a week ago.   The Top 10 Independent Games of 2008 GameTunnel has just published its Top 10 Independent Games of the Year list for 2008.  A yearly feature since 2003, the GameTunnel Game of the Year awards highlight the best PC games that you've never heard of.  Covering obscure games made by passionate indie developers, the awards are a unique list of hidden gems from the game industry's underground. The Daily GameDev.net Welcome back from Christmas week. Hopefully the Daily will rescue you from the last dregs of your extended family, allowing you to temporarily escape into a universe of snark and discussions of videogames. If you produced the recent Prince of Persia game, you're probably quite upset that gamers haven't rushed to your defense and embraced your game with open arms and showering of gifts. Your innovations, such as a dialogue system you can control, and graphics that look good, are critically acclaimed yet completely ignored by the screaming, crawling mass of gamers. Truly, Prince of Persia must be the only critically acclaimed entertainment work that has been ignored at retail. On a similar note, Monolith has stated that allowing their publisher to completely bungle their franchise by farming it out for some critically panned expansion packs is not the best thing that could have been done for the franchise. To that effect, they've wisely decided to completely ignore those packs and go on with life. In more independent news, the Christmas season frequently allows our fellow home-based developers to write code without having to neglect their day job. To that effect, the Commonplace Book Competition has been judged, people chuckled at metagaming enjoyment in Achievement Unlocked, and we all got a look at the delicious Owlboy. I must, of course, again give props to Space Giraffe for the PC, which I spent quite a bit of time playing last week, albeit to a small improvement in my high score. That's it from me this week, but I do hope if you got a Wii this season you didn't beat up your girlfriend over it. The only people you should be beating up over that is the guys who cancelled Project HAMMER.   Weekend Reading: Tales from Journal Land Journal Land Pick of the Week Chronicles of the Hieroglyph - Jason Z reveals the book project he, Wolfgang Engel, Jack Hoxley, Ralf Kornmann, and Niko Suni have been working on for over a year: "Programming Vertex, Geometry, and Pixel Shaders". This book is available in full online at the GD Wiki. The team of authors is working on a printed revision covering DirectX 11, but the online material will be more than suitable for the majority of DirectX programmers. Help Wanted Picks: Christmas Edition We're back again with our now-regular feature showcasing some of the most promising and/or interesting projects currently recruiting in our Help Wanted forum. This time we've got a working playable 2d MMO looking for art and design help, an experienced modding team looking to expand their ranks, and XNA Community Games platformer aiming to donate any profits to charity and an interesting non-gaming project looking for an OGRE-experienced coder, along with a whole bunch of people offering skills or services to help out with your existing project. Check inside for full details...   New Book Published Exclusively to GDWiki! Merry Christmas! I'm happy to announce that Wolfgang Engel, Jack Hoxley, Ralf Kornmann, Niko Suni and Jason Zink have all worked hard and conspired to bring you Programming Vertex, Geometry, and Pixel Shaders. This book is intended for people that have some background in DirectX8 or DirectX9 programming and want to upgrade their knowledge to DirectX 10. It's also completely free and available on GDWiki! This book can be considered a first draft, as the team of authors is working on a print revision that will focus on DirectX 11. In addition to using GDWiki to get the content of the book out to you, they also welcome comments and feedback and even Wiki edits so that they can prep the content for the printed and enhanced version. If you've ever wanted to see your name in that Acknowledgments section of a book, stop by and lend a hand! Great job authors! You've all set a new precedent in terms of content publishing and we at GDNet are happy to have been able to support you throughout this process. Game STL v0.0.1a Released!

OpenGL 3D graphics language developed by Silicon Graphics. OpenGL support is built into Windows NT. You can see some examples by checking out the NT screensavers. Some 3D graphics accelerators have OpenGL acceleration built-in. When Windows 2000 was released, Microsoft started to use DirectX to speed up 3D operations instead of OpenGL. Some games today use OpenGL, and some use DirectX.

Video Game Sprites Sprite usually are small graphic elements which have position and time information associated with them. They often have a transparent background and can move independently over the top of other graphics without effecting the graphic they move over. This makes them ideal for things like characters' in a game that have to move about.
