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.

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.
