Game techniques

I'm alway interested to read how people accomplish things in games. Many of the techniques can be applied to any game system, including the Genesis.

I'll start the list with a link to information about The Apprentice for the CD-I:

Please post any relevant game programming techniques.

Here's an article about M.C. Kids (for the NES):

http://greggman.com/mckids/programming_mc_kids.htm

It includes information on implementing platform games.

Here's an interesting article about coding practices in 1991:
http://cowboyprogramming.com/2008/11/15 ... s-in-1991/

It covers programming in 68000 assembly mainly.

Here's a collision detection article:

The example routine is written in Z80 asm, but would be easy to adapt to the 68000, or use directly on the Master System.

I think reading this book http://bizzley.com/ , you'll learn a lot of good thing

"IT'S BEHIND YOU is specifically about a game called R-Type I wrote back in 1988 for the then Sir-less Clive Sinclair's ZX Spectrum home computer"

so ? not already downloading this free ebook ?

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Perhaps a sticky thread could be made in the tools forum for free books on programming. There are enough questions about programming that such a thread would be handy.
