- [Game Programming Patterns](http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/contents.html)
- [Refactoring Game Entities with Components](http://cowboyprogramming.com/2007/01/05/evolve-your-heirachy/)

## Networking
- [RAFT](http://thesecretlivesofdata.com/raft/) - Visual demonstration of Raft: Understandable Distributed Consensus
- [Fast-Paced Multiplayer](http://www.gabrielgambetta.com/fpm1.html) - Article discussing client-side prediction, dead reckoning, entity interpolation, and lag compensation.

- [Valve: Source Multiplayer Networking](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_Multiplayer_Networking) - Check out the "See also" links at the bottom, too.
- [Isogenic Game Engine](http://www.isogenicengine.com/) - Promising looking game engine that was abandoned in 2013. It has the exact realtime multiplayer functionality we're looking to create. Worth a look.

## Procedural Gen
- [The Book of Shaders](http://patriciogonzalezvivo.com/2015/thebookofshaders/11/) - Shading algorithms, useful for procedural generation.
- [Building an Infinite Procedurally-Generated World](https://spin.atomicobject.com/2015/05/03/infinite-procedurally-generated-world/) - Example of using gradient noise to generate a top-down minecraft-like world with chunks.
- [Javascript Canvas Terrain Generator](https://github.com/loktar00/Javascript-Canvas-Terrain-Generator)
- [Procedural Generation Subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/proceduralgeneration)

## Physics
- [Continuous Collision Detection](http://www.stencyl.com/help/view/continuous-collision-detection/)
- [Phaser + P2 Physics Examples](http://phaser.io/examples/v2/category/p2-physics)
  - Looks promising: [P2 + Phaser + Tilemap collisions demo](http://phaser.io/examples/v2/p2-physics/tilemap)

## Rendering
- [Phaser](http://phaser.io/) A fast, free and fun open source framework for Canvas and WebGL powered browser games
- [Pixi.js](http://www.pixijs.com/) - 2D webGL renderer with canvas fallback
