Welcome to the official getIntoGameDev github repo!

I'm currently organising these folders to improve readability and reduce file duplication. From time to time a link for a video may fail, this could either be because the resource exists but has been moved, or is so out of date that it's been completely purged.

Assets

Models and Textures used in the demos. If you open a project and it complains about not having something, this is a good place to look. Some resources have the same names (eg. skyboxes), and so some digging around is required.

C++ Third Party Code

As a convencience, headers for common libraries such as GLFW and GLM etc. are in here.

APIs

Graphics API-specific tutorials.

Data Oriented Design

Take a walk on the wild side.

Game Engine Topics

Tutorials which either could be used to build an engine, or demonstrate particularly well designed systems.

Maths

Nothing here, yet.

Projects

Practical applications of topics. You can expand on these to make your own stuff!

Realtime Raytracing

It's just neat!

Tool Engineering

An often overlooked aspect of game development. High quality tools make high quality games. I personally use PyQT for all my tool engineering, being a good combination of stable and expressive.
