DarkDread's 2d engine. This is flat out code (well commented, of course) for making a 2d scrolling engine. Good for newbies who want to see the code of a master (DarkDread).

The semi-famous tile-based-games FAQ. This is a nice long tutorial discussing games based on tile systems (like RPGs), scrolling, and everything associated, such as multiple layer maps, object detection, different FX. not written specifically for any programming language, discusses basic visual effects and not anything language-dependent. provides some pseudo-code.

This compiled tutorial includes information on physics (especially related to racing games) and AI. The physics information is useful in many cases, and if you're thinking about adding some reality to a game, this is a good article. What I really liked was the discussion of AI. Many games have simplistic or nonexistent AI, and the AI article at the end of this tutorial gives an excellent view of the evolution of an AI system. Overall the tutorial could have been a lot more organized, and much of it (the physics part) was not explained very clearly. The AI section was very good.

Rems tutorial III. Still more on game layout, planning, and graphics design. This whole series is good not for the programming aspect, but for how it makes you think about your game before you actually begin on it. Some new kiddies to the game-making scene could take a hint from this.

AFLib Zelda Scrolling Tutorial

A single module(no external files) Bas file to demonstrate how to scroll pixel*pixel in QB. The source is overly commented. :*). Pretty fast too considering it uses realtime translucency. :*)
