PhyreEngine PhyreEngine is a free to use game engine from Sony Computer Entertainment compatible with PC, PSP, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. PhyreEngine had been adopted by dozens of game studios in over 90 published titles. PhyreEngine is distributed as an installable package that includes both full source code and PC Windows tools, provided under its own flexible use license that allows any PS3 game developer, publisher or Tools & Middleware company to create software based partly or fully on PhyreEngine on any platform.

Gabriel Gambetta - Pathfinding Demystified (Part I): Introduction Part I - Part II - Part III - Part IV Introduction Pathfinding is one of these topics that usualy baffles game developers.

SourceForge Interview: A New Game Engine Over at SourceForge, the August Project of the Month is the community-elected VASSAL Engine, described as “a game engine for building and playing online adaptations of board and card games.” Project manager Joel Uckelman sat down to talk about the project’s origins and future. (Editor’s Note: Here’s the link to the project. The Cellular Automaton Method for Cave Generation Dear reader, this post has an interactive simulation! We encourage you to play with it as you read the article below. In our series of posts on cellular automata, we explored Conway’s classic Game of Life and discovered some interesting patterns therein. And then in our primers on computing theory, we built up a theoretical foundation for similar kinds of machines, including a discussion of Turing machines and the various computational complexity classes surrounding them.

The Video Game That Maps The Galaxy - The New Yorker In 1961, members of M.I.T.’s Tech Model Railroad Club created Spacewar, one of the first video games that ran on the university’s hulking hundred-and-twenty-thousand-dollar PDP-1 mainframe computer. Spacewar, like so many of the video games that would follow, took place in the cosmos. The setting was, in part, a practical decision: it was far easier for the earliest computers to render the blank canvas of space than the comparable complexities of rocks, hills, or cities. But, for games like Space Invaders, Asteroids, and Defender, there’s more to the choice of space as a backdrop than utilitarian function. Space has always fascinated storytellers, and with the birth of the video game humans finally discovered a way to explore its farthest reaches from the crunchy comfort of terra firma.
