Action Arcade Adventure Set

Free online book “Action Arcade Adventure Set” by Diana Gruber. Have you ever played a side-scrolling action arcade game on your PC and wondered what it takes to program one?

Book Description

How do the programmers scroll their backgrounds so fast and make their sprites move so smoothly? And how do they learn how to design their games? Do they use custom development tools or do they write all of their code line by line? Do they code up their fast-action graphics in C or C++ or do they have to drop down to assembly? Is there a correspondence course you can take to learn the mysteries of game programming? And, where’s the secret manual that explains everything?
