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.
