Game Development and Graphics Programming EBOOK

Getting started in game development is easy. If you can code, you can develop games. It takes a few tools and some time, but it’s a useful skill, even for app developers. Knowing how to develop games, even simple ones, can build your skill set. Sometimes game development is a challenging, painful process — but nothing compares to seeing the pure elation of someone experiencing your game for the first time. The process breaks down to the following five stages: Prototyping, progress, ship, watch, and repeat.

Graphics programmers are dedicated to ensuring the game looks as good as it possibly can. This means making the graphics as detailed as possible without impacting on the speed and playability of the game. The job is all about maths, rendering and optimisation. A graphics programmer usually reports to the lead programmer and works with the rest of the programming team.
