Book DescriptionWriting clean and reusable code for games is hard. The nature of game development is different from other development areas due to the dynamic nature of games.
This book helps you understand the philosophy behind object-oriented programming and write code that is compliant with SOLID principles to develop a reliable and reusable codebase using design patterns, solutions proven over time by thousands of developers.
You’ll start by understanding the fundamentals of object-oriented design, learning what is and how to implement each of the SOLID principles before finding out how to favor composition over inheritance, an important principle to keep in mind when creating reusable code. As you progress, you’ll implement a series of basic and advanced design patterns using Godot Engine's features. You’ll also learn how to identify where, when, and why to implement each design pattern by working through the development of a sample game project.
By the end of this game development book, you'll be able to identify the fundamental principles of the object-oriented programming paradigm and pathologies in your code so that you can use the correct design pattern to fix them, if necessary.What you will learn
Get hands on with SOLID principles to create reusable and scalable code
Identify common game development issues and apply industry standard solutions
Solve unique game development challenges by applying game design patterns
Analyze game development pathologies to figure out underlying issues
Architect reliable systems that are understandable, intuitive, and scalable
Structure professional systems that favor teamwork and maintenance
Who this book is forThis book is for game developers, game designers, technical artists, or solo developers in charge of the engineering and architecture of their game's codebase. If you already have experience with programming, understand the Godot Engine and the GDScript programming language, and are looking to create solid, reusable, and reliable architecture for your games, this book is for you.
