Came Development Patterns
and Best Practices
You ve learned how to program, and you ve
probably created some simple games at
some point, but now you want to build
larger projects and find out howto resolve
your problems. So instead of thinking like
a coder, you might now want to think like
a game developer or software engineer. To
organize your code well you need certain
tools, and that s what this book is all about.
You will learn techniques to code quickly
and correctly, while ensuring your code is
modular and easily understandable. We
will start with the core game programming
patterns, but not in the usual way.
We will take the use case strategy
with this book. We will take an AAA
standard game and show you the hurdles
at multiple stages of development.
Similarly, various use cases are used to
showcase other patterns, such as the
adapter pattern, gameplay prototype
pattern, the flyweight pattern, and the
observer pattern.
Lastly, we ll go over some tips and tricks on
refactoring your code to remove common
code smells and make it easier for others
to work with you. By the end of the book
you will be proficient at using the most
popular and frequently used patterns with
the best practices.
Things you will learn:
• Learn what design patterns are and
why you would want to use them
• Reduce the maintenance burden with
well tested, cleaner code
• Employ the singleton pattern
effectively to reduce your
compiler workload
• Use the factory pattern to help you
create different objects with the same
creation logic and reduce coding time
• Improve game performance with
Object Pools
• Allow gameplay to interact with
physics or graphics in an abstract way
• Refractor your code to remove
common code smells
