Theory and Practice (Wordware, 2001); Andrew Rollings, Game Architecture. Source and the architecture is resolutely object-oriented, adding these kinds. Software Architecture: Foundations, Theory, and Practice! Architectural Styles: Definition An architectural style is a named collection of architectural design decisions that are applicable in a given development context constrain architectural design decisions that are specific to a particular system within that context.

The concepts and techniques described are the actual ones used by real game studios like Electronic Arts and Naughty Dog. The examples are often grounded in specific technologies, but the discussion extends way beyond any particular engine or API.

The references and citations provided in this book make it a great jumping off point for those who wish to dig deeper into any particular aspect of the game development process. This book is intended to serve as the course text for a college level series in game programming. It can also be used by amateur software engineers, hobbyists, self-taught game programmers and existing members of the game industry alike. Junior game engineers can use this text to solidify their understanding of game technology and engine architecture. Even senior engineers who specialize in one particular field of game development can benefit from the bigger picture presented in these pages.

← ≡ § → Architecture, Performance, and Games Before we plunge headfirst into a pile of patterns, I thought it might help to give you some context about how I think about software architecture and how it applies to games. It may help you understand the rest of this book better. If nothing else, when you get dragged into an argument about how terrible (or awesome) design patterns and software architecture are, it will give you some ammo to use. Making a lap steel guitar. Note that I didn’t presume which side you’re taking in that fight. Like any arms dealer, I have wares for sale to all combatants.
