Game Math: Dot Product, Rulers, And Bouncing Balls

The dot product is a simple yet extremely useful mathematical tool. It encodes the relationship between two vectors’ magnitudes and directions into a single value. It is useful for computing projection, reflection, lighting, and so much more.

How to find the minimum enclosing circle of a set of points. It can be used to dynamically figure out where to center your camera and with how much zoom to keep everything you want in view.

Art production for games: Best practices and optimization

A very good list to follow. And I like that the author mentions that every solution has pros and cons to consider. E.g. tip 5 may go poorly without using sprite atlas for a splitted asset. So always tune solutions for your use case.
