Eliminating Constants
In this video, we eliminate global constants in class RenderContext by using XML tags in xmlSpec/game.xml.
Almost Infinite Horizontal
In this video, we explain how we achieve almost infinite horizontal scrolling.
Parallax Scrolling
This video contains an explanation of how to implement parallax scrolling using the tracker framework.
Making Many Sprites
We show how to make a lot of sprites bounce around a window by tweaking the velocity used in the constructor to initialize a Sprite.
Painter's Algorithm (SDL1.2)
This video demonstrates Painter's algorithm, a technique that works well with parallax scrolling to create the illusion of depth.
Making a Player (SDL1.2)
In this video we demonstrate how to incorporate player mechanics into an object in your video game. We begin with an illustration of keyboard bounce and we then move to an illustration of moving the player.
An Object Pool
This video demonstrates an object pool where we pool bullets. We show that we really need very little "ammo" if we reuse the spent bullets.
