CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

WARNING: Article moved to separate repo to allow users contributions: https://github.com/raysan5/custom_game_engines

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like [Unreal](https:

        //The first is a texture that will be used to determine the overall shape of the dissolving, while the latter is how much will the object be dissolved,
        //where 0 means that the object is unaffected from the dissolving and 1 means that the object is completely dissolved.
        _SliceGuide("Slice Guide (RGB)", 2D) = "white" {}

Here's a thing you can do to quickly reveal any or all cookies set on your WebExtensions-compatible browser from any domain. For this example we'll use Chrome but it should work wherever you can debug a browser extension.

You need to have at least one add-on installed that has a background page; to find it, go to chrome://extensions, be sure Developer Mode is on (top right sliding switch) and see if any of your installed extensions has a link to background page next to Inspect Views.

Once you find a link to a background page, click it. A Web inspector should appear; when it does, go to the Console tab and paste this:

chrome.cookies.getAll(
  {domain: "facebook.com"},
 results => {

## Compute the Fourier coefficients of the harmonic parametrization of the
## boundary of the Mandelbrot set, using the formulae given in following paper:
## John H. Ewing & Glenn Schober, "The area of the Mandelbrot set",
## Numer. Math. 61 (1992) 59-72 (esp. formulae (7) and (9)).  (Note that their
## numerical values in table 1 give the coefficients of the inverse series.)

## The coefficients ctab[m] are the b_m such that z + sum(b_m*z^-m) defines a
## biholomorphic bijection from the complement of the unit disk to the
## complement of the Mandelbrot set.  The first few values are:
##   [-1/2, 1/8, -1/4, 15/128, 0, -47/1024, -1/16, 987/32768, 0, -3673/262144]
