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 Facebook game creation. The pong game created is going to run under a FB canvas. You will need to apply for your AppID in order to set this up.<\/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
