Dive into advanced game development concepts through this comprehensive video series. Explore in-depth topics that are often challenging for new programmers or don't fit into typical tutorial structures. Focus on mathematical concepts and other crucial subjects requested by viewers. Learn about 4-way vs. 8-way movement, time-based vs. frame-based movement, and non-integer movement. Master steering behaviors including seeking, wandering, and fleeing. Delve into pathfinding techniques, covering breadth-first search, shortest path algorithms, Dijkstra's algorithm, and A* search. While examples use Python/Pygame, apply these universal game development principles to any programming language. Enhance your game development skills with this 2.5-hour deep dive into essential topics.
