In-depth documentation

I could also see a series on just using the built-in stock components. Simply setting up a navmesh and adding a monster makes a pretty compelling lesson. Maybe this series should come first, before the dive into programming.

Honestly I recommend moreso individual tutorials in actual mechanics instead of broader stuff

 

Also I heavily recommend explaining the important "backend" mechanics(like level transitions, or making "fairer" enemies that don't attack all at once)

Please be specific.

Okay, so my current thinking, and going along the lines of what we already have, is this:

• Crash Course
• Gameplay (just using the default scripts)
• Programming
• 3D Spatialization
  • Position and 3D vectors
    • Dot product
    • Cross product
    • ATan
  • Rotation
    • Euler angles
    • Gimbal lock
    • Quaternions
    • Spherical linear interpolation
  • Space Transformations
    • Transform point, vector, normal, quaternion, plane
    • 4x4 matrices
  • Camera Projection
  • Planes
  • Line intersection
  • Convex volumes / brushes
• Game Mechanics
  • Ray Casts
  • Proximity Test
  • Object Spawning and Deletion
  • World::GetEntitiesInArea
  • World:GetEntities (using filters)
  • Pathfinding
• Game Physics
  • Mass
  • Velocity
  • Force and Torque
  • Collision
    • Triggers
    • Collision Types
  • Player Controller
  • Intersection
  • Joints
