  1. A* Pathfinding for 2D Grid-Based Platformers: Ledge Grabbing

    A* Pathfinding for 2D Grid-Based Platformers: Ledge Grabbing

    Tutorial • Intermediate

    In this part of our series, we'll introduce a new mechanic to the character: ledge grabbing. We'll also make appropriate changes to both the pathfinding...

  2. How to Use a Shader to Dynamically Swap a Sprite's Colors

    How to Use a Shader to Dynamically Swap a Sprite's Colors

    Tutorial • Intermediate

    In this tutorial, we'll create a simple color swapping shader that can recolor sprites on the fly. The shader makes it much easier to add variety to a game,...

  3. A* Pathfinding for 2D Grid-Based Platformers: Making a Bot Follow the Path

    A* Pathfinding for 2D Grid-Based Platformers: Making a Bot Follow the Path

    Tutorial • Intermediate

    In this tutorial, we'll use the platformer pathfinding algorithm we've been building to power a bot that can follow the path by itself; just click on a...

  4. A* Pathfinding for 2D Grid-Based Platformers: Adding One-Way Platforms

    A* Pathfinding for 2D Grid-Based Platformers: Adding One-Way Platforms

    Tutorial • Intermediate

    In this short tutorial, we'll extend our platformer pathfinder so that it can deal with one-way platforms: blocks that the character can jump through and...

  5. Understanding Fluent APIs in JavaScript

    Understanding Fluent APIs in JavaScript

    Tutorial • Intermediate

    While designing Babylon.js v2.0 (a library for building 3D on the web), I recently found myself wishing that more APIs were fluent—that is, I wish the...

  6. A* Pathfinding for 2D Grid-Based Platformers: Different Character Sizes

    A* Pathfinding for 2D Grid-Based Platformers: Different Character Sizes

    Tutorial • Intermediate

    In this tutorial, we'll extend our grid-based platformer pathfinder so that it can cope with characters that take up more than one cell of the grid.

  7. The Genius of Template Strings in ES6

    Tutorial • Intermediate

    ES6 is the future of JavaScript and it is already here. It is a finished specification, and it brings a lot of features a language requires to stay...

  8. GetUserMedia: Using the Media Capture and Streams API

    GetUserMedia: Using the Media Capture and Streams API

    Tutorial • Intermediate

    Today I’d like to experiment with the Media Capture and Streams API, developed jointly at the W3C by the Web Real-Time Communications Working Group and the...

  9. How to Adapt A* Pathfinding to a 2D Grid-Based Platformer: Theory

    How to Adapt A* Pathfinding to a 2D Grid-Based Platformer: Theory

    Tutorial • Intermediate

    In this tutorial, I'll explain a broad overview of how to modify a standard A* pathfinding algorithm to work for platformers by taking into account the way...

  10. How to Adapt A* Pathfinding to a 2D Grid-Based Platformer: Implementation

    How to Adapt A* Pathfinding to a 2D Grid-Based Platformer: Implementation

    Tutorial • Intermediate

    Now that we have a good idea of how to modify an A* pathfinding algorithm to work for platformers, it's time to actually code it. Rather than build it from...
