C# Game Programming: For Serious Game Creation, 1st Edition

by Daniel Schuller

Even experienced game development students sometimes have a hard time making their vision for a great game a reality. The number of available programming languages, libraries, and production methods can make the development process overwhelming and result in complicated, unreliable game code. C# Game For Serious Game Creation shows student game programmers how to write simple, clean, and reliable code step-by-step through the creation of a basic game. The game is built using C#, a high-level programming language, and OpenGL, an industry favorite for graphics display. Students will get an overview of the methods and libraries used to build good games, learn how to use those libraries and create your own, and finally build your own scrolling shooter game. They'll even find tips and information on how to develop your own game ideas and you'll have an excellent code base to work with. C# Game For Serious Game Creation provides students with all the information they need to take their game ideas from concept to completion.
