Welcome to Hobby 3D Game Programming!

Hi and welcome to my game programming blog.  My name is Erich and I am a hobbyist 3D game developer.  In other words, I make simple 3D computer games in my spare time... for fun!

Goals for this blog:

  • Learn the basics of creating an .html template page to hold our games
  • Learn how to use the awesome Three.js library for drawing the 3D graphics
  • Discover what's going on beneath the surface of simple games that make them work
  • Learn basic algorithms that move the game's objects and characters around realistically
  • And most importantly, to have fun!
Obviously we won't be making the latest triple-A hit games; that usually requires a dedicated team of software engineers and artists working round the clock.  However what we will be able to make in this blog series are simple, solid, true 3D games that are fast and responsive to player's input. 

So if you are ready,  let's get started on a deep and fun journey into 3D game programming!
