Have to agree with Mac Thompson here. This book is solid and it comes chock full of good advice and programming strategies. I recommend it to anyone looking to get into game programming.

Hi,

same problem as Greg… I’m also looking for this book, but it isn’t available anymore. Went to the author’s blog, but no contact details.

I’ve been looking around for articles similar to this but never found one that actually was valuable such as this. Glad I found this place!

The SpiderWorks website isn’t selling this ebook anymore (they’re closed!) – otherwise I’d buy it in a heartbeat. How can I get this book? I found the author’s blog but it doesn’t seem possible to contact him – no email or anything. Does anyone still have a copy?

This is a GREAT book! There is sooooo much in this book that it is hard to describe it; but I will try:
* Development Cycle – all the usual “Best Practices” kinds of information.
* Re-Factoring
* Image handling
* Game loop control
* User input strategies and techniques
* XML level development and processing
…
and lots more ( :-) )

Obviously, there is lot which is missing … but I am one buyer who is quite pleased with the 155 pages of value I have received for my $10!!!

I only wish there was a follow-up book . sigh.
