2D games are hugely popular across a wide range of platforms and the ideal place to start if you`re new to game development. With Learn 2D Game Development with C, you`ll learn your way around the universal building blocks of game development, and how to put them together to create a real working game.
C is increasingly becoming the language of choice for new game developers. Productive and easier to learn than C++, C lets you get your games working quickly and safely without worrying about tricky low-level details like memory management. This book uses MonoGame, an open source framework that`s powerful, free to use and easy to handle, to further reduce low-level details, meaning you can concentrate on the most interesting and universal aspects of a game development: frame, camera, objects and particles, sprites, and the logic and simple physics that determines how they interact.
In each chapter, you`ll explore one of these key elements of game development in the context of a working game, learn how to implement the example for yourself, and integrate it into your own game library. At the end of the book, you`ll put everything you`ve learned together to build your first full working game! And what`s more, MonoGame is designed for maximum cross-platform support, so once you`ve mastered the fundamentals in this book, you`ll be ready to explore and publish games on a wide range of platforms including Windows 8, MAC OSX, Windows Phone, iOS, Android, and Playstation Mobile. Whether you`re starting a new hobby or considering a career in game development, Learn 2D Game Development with C is the ideal place to start.ISBN - 9781430266044
