Customer Reviews & Comments
Great book. I really enjoyed networking chapters - there are lots of examles useful in everyday work even if you are not a game developer. Although a little obsolete (escpecially in the time I am writing this), I would recommend this book to anyone interested in game programming and/or java networking. Part one is really an easygoing and fun introduction into Java and OOP concepts. I was really suprised how authors were paying attention to OOP concepts and clean object oriented design. Part two is the where real stuff begins - networking, advanced graphics, multiplayer gaming, etc... Part three is a veru useful and interesting to study collection of games (with sources and explanations of key features and used programming techniques). Appendix E even explains some basic math background useful if you want to understand a little bit how 3D engines work.
