Game development demands more than just creativity; it requires code that’s as dynamic and adaptable as the games you dream of creating. Master the art of writing clean, robust game code by understanding object-oriented programming and leveraging proven design patterns tailored for game development using the Godot Engine. Henrique Campos, a seasoned game developer, educator, and creator of popular resources like The Essential Guide to Creating Multiplayer Games with Godot 4.0, blends industry expertise with practical teaching methods to ensure you gain both theoretical and hands-on expertise in crafting game code.
Starting with the fundamentals of object-oriented design, you’ll master SOLID principles. You’ll learn how to favor composition over inheritance—an essential approach for creating reusable code bases. Through a hands-on sample game project, you’ll implement a series of basic and advanced design patterns using Godot Engine’s features and identify where, when, and why to implement each design pattern.
By the end of this game development book, you’ll not only understand the principles of object-oriented programming, but also be able to diagnose and fix pathologies in your code with ease.
