Outdated...not very useful

March 2, 1999

Format: Paperback

If this were a book based on Java 2, I would give it a higher rating. But this uses Java 1.0, and the code is broken up into many different pieces...far too confusing for me. Also, the book did not really give you any information the first couple of days.

TY, Java Game Programming, a good starter book, fun to use

April 21, 1997

Format: Paperback

While I am still only in week one, I tend to have too many books going at once, I have learned from and enjoyed reading this book so far. The code is easy to follow, the samples are easy to modify as directed in the exercises.

I do know and use C++, but most C/C++ games books focus so much on infrastructure for dealing with image data that the core of game programming, simulation of another world, gets lost. Java is a great way to cut through all the mist enshrouding gaming that is caused by managing and displaying image data. While a heavy duty game may require C/C++, with this book and Java you can get a great, hands-on start in gaming, a Java work out, and the added bonus of multi-user gaming via Java networking classes.

The one thing I would add to this book is a section on sprite development. This task is an art that needs some tips for the low end developer who doesn't have cash for artists. Also, I think the book could use a section on tile based scrolling of game backgrounds since that would allow low cost transmission of large worlds.

Still, its a great start so far, and my peeks ahead seem to confirm this feeling

A waste of money

July 16, 2000

Format: Paperback

This book only gives suggestion on improving a game. It does not give you complete code of any class to give you an idea of what the code should look like. It also assumes that you know next to nothing about java, so it spends more time explaining java, then it does with game programming.

excellent book but obviously very old (Java 1.0)

April 3, 1999

Format: Paperback

I think it's an excellent book, however it's about Java 1.0. Also, it assumes you know nothing about both Java programming and game design in general -- so it is less useful for people with any experience in either.
