Software development and other tutorials
There is a wide range of videos available to watch from tutorials to Let's Plays.
Video games and source code produced from tutorials are available to download and enjoy.
Discord channel exists that allow fellow developers and designers to interact with each other.
Videos
Tutorials are the primary focus on video content. There are dozens of videos available on the site, and hundreds more available on the YouTube channel. Videos include video game development to graphic design. Archived videos (XNA videos for example) and older videos can be found on YouTube.
There are special videos created to give you the most up to date information on the site, answer questions, discuss upcoming releases and general information.
Latest Videos
Tutorials are back! Welcome to the start of the more advanced Video Game artificial intelligence series. The first topic we will be discussing in a series of videos is the Monte Carlo Tree Search algorithm.
This tutorial will introduce you to the basics of Monte Carlo Tree Search and how it can be beneficial in video games. We take a look at a very basic example to demonstrate how the algorithm chooses which action should be taken for any given scenario.
Welcome to a new tutorial for the Game Algorithms series. In this tutorial, I will go over a concept that will be used to work on Bezier Curves. It is recommended that you watch the Bezier Curve Game Mathematics video. This video will discuss a recursive implementation for Bezier Curves. We will also go in to the code and take a look at the algorithm in action.
This is the sixth tutorial of Game Math! In this tutorial, I discuss the mathematics behind Bezier curves. These types of curves are necessary in order to create complex paths for game objects to travel.
In this tutorial, I go over the basics of spawning objects during a key press. We use what we learned in the last video by making a bullet prefab and we spawned that prefab whenever we pressed the space bar.
In this tutorial, I go over the basics of RigidBody components. We extend on the last video by using a RigidBody component in order to make our bullets move.
Games
Original games are created and can be downloaded for you to enjoy. Our games are created with the intention of releasing some tutorials that will help you develop similar games. So you can see how the game is designed and produced, and you can see and interact with the end product.
Source codes are provided for most programming tutorials on PHStudios. You can view the code and download if you wish. Source codes are customizable, easily modified and provided for you to experiment on your own.
Community
Get help from fellow developers whether you need help with a tutorial, game, design project or a game library. Game libraries and games will have their own dedicated site, but there will be a single community by utilizing Discord for voice and text chat. Interact with members to share your ideas and projects.
Slack will be used for people who wish to help out with the site and content.
Tutorials are back! Welcome to the start of the more advanced Video Game artificial intelligence series. The first topic we will be discussing in a series of videos is the Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm.
This tutorial will expand on the previous tutorial and provide a real life example. We discuss how to think about terminal states in a way that makes sense if the algorithm has to run in a very short time.
