BOOK:
A VIDEO GAME PROGRAM STEP BY STEP WITH ALLEGRO.H
Paper reviewed and recommended allegro.h official
from the home page!
I apologize for my bad translation in English. I hope it is equally
understandable.
After a relentless work that has already lasted some years, I finally managed to
put together a book that explains how to make a video game. With this you will
be guided through the many stages of planning until the final outcome: a video
game work!
With this book, the result is a necessary step. It's up to you after you
complete the tutorial of this work, implement your creativity to create works of
increasing complexity.
As you can see from the 'table of contents, shown just below are treated all the
main topics of a video game. Dalla grafica, al suono, ai comandi di gioco,
ecc... From the graphics, sound, the game controls, etc. ... Each line of each
source is explained in detail. Also at the end of the book has received a
glossary of all the commands C / C + + used in the creation of the game.
Do not panic, do not have to manually type all the listings of the book, in fact
I posted a link on the book (this page) from which you can download all the
material implicated in the text (sources, files, graphics and sound, etc ...) .
This, for the user who wants to really learn to write video games, is a unique
opportunity as well as necessary.
If these 134 pages in A4 format with practical examples and explanations if they
were not sufficient to clear up a few particular questions, you can always ask
your questions directly to me via
EMAIL.
I note that due to software piracy (linked to the anarchy of the Internet ...)
have already been copied, then in principle this book was available only in
paper form and must be specifically requested to the author. Now the author is
grappling with a new manual on allegro.h that embraces the whole realm of video
games, both 2D and 3D.So the old version of the book would become obsolete when
compared with the contents of my new book .Hence the idea of freeing the writing
discussed in this website.
