First they publish Erik Bethke's fine tutorial on Game Production { http://www.wordware.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=wwpub&Product_Code=1556229518 }
Now they've published this fine book on coding games.
{ http://www.wordware.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=wwpub&Product_Code=1556229224 }
I read through this book and have yet to do the all the exercisies, but I know enough to see that how he presents the concepts and code are enough to make any aspiring game programmer happy indeed.
Also, if you haven't done so already, I think if you have any thought whatsoever of making a game you should not do one iota of work on it until you've read through Erik's book. With these two books in tandem you should be on your way to *successfully* creating your first game to completion.
And hey, don't forget the link at the bottom of the page and the 45% off discount.
Btw, I know this somewhat reads like an ad (poorly written at best), but it really is just my opine.
Best,
Jerry

Thanks Toasty. For some reason, I had not thought about getting books on this subject (Not even Erik's) but I'll remedy that little oversight now.
-
Even people like me who aren't programmers might like Erik's book. I definitely did.

And to beat all, Tracey is on the front cover!!! LOL!!!
