Just what I wanted. - I have 1 university years worth of C++ and Java knowledge, and an interest in games. Deciding to look into games creation as a hobby I was disappointed in how messy C++ (or C with classes) games programming books were. I d bought about 5 and read through 3. Then I purchased killer game programming in Java. It is well written, focuses on why doing something one way is a good idea compared to another, and the topics fit in so well if you have a sound (but not necessarily expert) grasp of the Java language and programming concepts. It s going to take a lot of time and effort before I write a game I am truly happy with, but this book is certainly going to help along the way.
