📖 A new chapter "Implementing the Game Logic" of our course "Gamedev for the Littlest" is already available for free.
Game logic is the set of rules and algorithms that determine the behavior of a game. It is the backbone of any game, and it is essential to understand the fundamentals of game logic in order to create a successful game. This chapter will cover the basics of implementing game logic, including how to structure the logic, how to use data structures to store game state, and how to use algorithms to create interesting gameplay.
Game Logic Structure
The structure of game logic is the foundation of any game. It is important to consider the structure of the game logic before writing any code. A well-structured game logic will make the development process much easier and will result in a more maintainable codebase.
When designing the structure of game logic, it is important to think about the different components of the game and how they interact with each other. The game logic should be broken down into smaller, manageable pieces that can be developed separately. This will make the code easier to debug and will allow for more flexibility when making changes to the game.
Data Structures
Data structures are used to store game state. They are the foundation of any game and are essential for implementing game logic. Data structures are used to store information such as the current game state, the player’s position, and the objects in the game world.
The data structure used will depend on the type of game being developed. For example, a turn-based strategy game may use a graph data structure to store the game state, while a platformer may use a linked list to store the objects in the game world. It is important to choose the appropriate data structure for the game being developed in order to ensure the game logic is efficient and maintainable.
Algorithms
Algorithms are used to create interesting gameplay. An algorithm is a set of instructions that tells the computer how to perform a task. Algorithms are used to determine the behavior of objects in the game, such as how enemies move or how the player interacts with the environment.
When implementing algorithms, it is important to consider the performance of the game. Algorithms should be optimized to ensure the game runs smoothly and efficiently. It is also important to consider the complexity of the algorithm. Complex algorithms can be difficult to debug and maintain, so it is important to choose algorithms that are simple yet effective.

📖 A new chapter "Networking and Multiplayer for Game" of our course "Gamedev for the Littlest" is already available for free.
Networked games, also known as multiplayer games, are games that involve two or more players interacting with each other over a network. Networked games can be played either over the internet or a local area network (LAN).
Networked games can be divided into two main categories: client-server games and peer-to-peer games. In client-server games, one player acts as the server, while the other players act as clients. The server is responsible for maintaining the game state and sending data to the clients. The clients are responsible for sending their input to the server and receiving data from the server. Peer-to-peer games are different in that each player acts as both a client and a server.
Networked games can also be divided into two types: turn-based games and real-time games. Turn-based games involve players taking turns making moves. Examples of turn-based games include chess, checkers, and other board games. Real-time games involve players making moves simultaneously. Examples of real-time games include first-person shooters, racing games, and sports games.
Networked games require a certain amount of bandwidth to function properly. The amount of bandwidth required depends on the type of game being played. For example, real-time games require more bandwidth than turn-based games. Additionally, the number of players can also affect the amount of bandwidth required. The more players that are connected, the more bandwidth is needed.
Networked games also require a certain amount of latency, or lag, to function properly. Latency is the amount of time it takes for data to travel from one point to another. Low latency is important for real-time games, as it allows for smooth gameplay. High latency can cause lag, which can make a game unplayable.
Networked games can also be divided into two categories: synchronous games and asynchronous games. Synchronous games require all players to be connected at the same time. Examples of synchronous games include first-person shooters and real-time strategy games. Asynchronous games do not require all players to be connected at the same time. Examples of asynchronous games include turn-based games, such as chess and checkers.
Networked games require a certain amount of coordination between players. This coordination can be done through a variety of methods, such as text chat, voice chat, and in-game messaging systems. Additionally, players can also use dedicated matchmaking services to find other players to play with.
Networked games also require a certain amount of security. Security measures are necessary to prevent cheating and ensure that all players have a fair and enjoyable experience. Common security measures include anti-cheat systems, authentication systems, and encryption.
Networked games can be a great way to connect with friends and family, or compete against players from around the world. They can also be used for educational purposes, such as teaching game development and programming. Networked games are an important part of the gaming industry and will continue to evolve with new technologies.
