Give yourself a strong head start in computer game design with our Game Programming Starter books, which are published fresh in 2015. Through these books you will learn how computer games work and how simple games may be created using ready-made resources and modern drag-and-drop game engines.<\/p>\n

This book focuses on mobile game creation. The goal is to use HTML5 to build an iOS compatible web app\u00a0with touch and motion control.\u00a0The game we are about to build can take input from keyboard (desktop), touch control (mobile device) and motion control (again, mobile device).<\/p>\n

We assume you are totally new to game programming. To make things easy for you, we use simple language throughout the book. And we simplify many of the technical terms into something more straight forward and human friendly. Many trade jargons are intentionally skipped.<\/p>\n
