GameNetworkingResources VS game-programmer

The list maintained here favors content for actual game developers: https://github.com/ThusSpokeNomad/GameNetworkingResources

Here is a list of resources: A Curated List of Game Network Programming Resources

Check these articles here to learn how game netcode works. The answer to your question (and a lot more) will come naturally after a bit of reading. https://github.com/ThusWroteNomad/GameNetworkingResources

Honestly this is all largely a completely solved problem space. The article is just way out in left field seemingly fully oblivious to how game netcode currently works, which certainly isn't with AI prediction.

Look at actual game engine docs like this one from Valve https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Latency_Compensatin... or this one from Halo https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/closer-look-halo-infinite-...

But tldr is the only thing a client ever predicts is their own inputs, which of course can't really ever end up wrong later on. There's no other prediction happening (eg, the position of other players is not predicted)

And then for anti-cheat/optimization purposes the server also only sends positions for enemies that could be visible soon, which is done by taping into the same map chunking logic that would be used for asset streaming.

There's a ton of other great resources on this topic here https://github.com/ThusWroteNomad/GameNetworkingResources

But you'll find they all largely do the same basic thing. There's nuance in some of the rules and what state is replicated and what isn't (such as server side or client side ragdolls), but the general architecture tends to be the same. And without a fundamental shift in connectivity, seems pretty unlikely to change.

I like this resource, it lists different starting spots based on skill level as well as different tracks (engine programming, AI, multiplayer, etc). https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer

This site gives an entire study path from kids to adults to learn game programming: https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer

https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer This has everything. Start reading if you want industry level knowledge. Courses wont get you to that level. Also while reading you can implement all of this!

A Study Path for Game Programmer

This collection was shared a lot in the past, still a good list of game programming related books: https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer (my favorites here are the Game Programming Gems and AI Game Programming Wisdom that I collected in the past).

I'm more into programming... At the moment I only have experience in web dev (html, css, js, react etc).. I'm starting to read some books from this guide https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer Also I watched some guide on YouTube on how to use UE5 and unity... Maybe in 1-2 year a can define myself as a (junior) game dev.. For the moment I'm just scratching the surface.. I made this post to understand if this effort will be repaid somehow...

There are not that many, I learned a bit from books like Game Coding Complete and Game Engine Architecture. There are obviously others that are not that high level, they get more into real-time topics like rendering, AI behaviour/navigation, etc. (Books that appear in that list for example: https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer)
