<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/video-indexing-and-iterating-design-space-permutations-in-game-dev.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>In this 2016 GDC session, programmer Nathan Sturtevant covers the mathematics of counting with combinations and permutations, and how game devs can employ it in their own projects.</p>
<p>It was a rich, technical talk that delved deep into key topics like how to compute perfect hash functions (rankings and unrankings) that allow programmers to convert to and from the index of a permutation/combination and an actual game state.</p>
<p>If you’re a game programmer or you just have a passion for math, take advantage of the fact that Sturtevant’s talks is now available to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbwBMqeC9BQ">watch for free via the official GDC YouTube channel!</a></p>
