Customer Reviews

The coolest author!!! A world of discovery...5
This is the best introduction to DOS games programming there is. And this author knows how to get your attention.
It is a world of discovery into the art of plotting pixels in video memory to create graphics, animation and 2D games. It teaches you to program your sound card, joystick and other I/O devices.
The examples are in C, not C++; so they are easily digestable. No 'hidden' classes to decipher - you get everything straight.
I really enjoy reading the book and I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn to program games.
