Sponsored Feature: Programming Sins - Common Errors from Down in the
Trenches
A game programmer's list of "do's and don'ts" is built from
experience. Starting with the first line of code we write, our list
evolves over time as we incorporate new technologies, experiment with
new techniques and, most importantly, make (and learn from) mistakes.
It's our earned tribal knowledge, and it is an essential resource that
guides how we design and build our games.
In this Intel-sponsored feature, Michael Carr, Noel Llopis and a
mystery Anonymous Developer focus on the "don'ts"; that is, their
personal lists of programming sins, including how each came to be on
their lists. A must-read for any game developer.
