GameDev Books

Updated 3/27/2019

• I created a new section: Math and Physics
• I added a new link on this nice book: Beginning Math and Physics for Game Programmers

I study how to write my own game engines using modern OpenGL/C# and WebGL/TypeScript. I advice you this book: C# Game Programming: For Serious Game Creation. This book shows how to write your own game engine with maintainable code using TDD. This is a great book. It is not for GameDev only. It shows how to develop big projects in general. I know that you like to write games using Game Engines like Unity. By this book you will know basics of Linear Algebra, Shader Math, Game Physics and so on. Shader Math is important for Unity too because you need to write shaders for Unity. HLSL and GLSL are very similar. It is a great book really.
