Game Programming book

[aaaron]

hey, so I have a game programming book almost done and was wondering if any one has ideas for it.

it pretty much tells you what the languages are, and how to get started with making a game along with some tutorials and development.

restate your statement. I am unsure what you want us to tell you or what you are trying to tell us.

He wants ideas that he can add into his book if I'm correct.

yea. sorry i edited it.

[L0lz]

If it's almost done why do you need IDEAS FOR IT?! o_O

[Smallbro]

I think he wants to make sure he hasnt missed anything.

[aaaron]

Yea. I wanna take any questions to put in it.

[Ruins of Hell]

Any question?

"Don't you have to know something about Game Programming to make a book on it?"

;D

(I'm just joking, maybe I didn't make that clear.)

[aaaron]

I already have stuff in the book. I was seeing if there is anyone that had ideas that should be in the book. Something to Add to it.

Have you got a section on what it takes to make a game? Alot of people think (not Eclipse) that only big companies can make games.

Come on, how often is it that you state a good Recursion joke?

Me? Never. You? When you're high.

Wait, he was high when I was playing him in chess. No wonder his game turned around after the first half.

yup. sure do.

i also have some resources (game engines) for the noobs.

i was also wondering if i could put in a Eclipse Section. like with how to use the engine, how to script, and other stuff…..(marsh or the admins, mods?)

You could also probably put in something in regards to in-game physics, mathematical level balancing and population growth of ORPGs. Or is that to much to ask? Cause that is pretty key to developing a good game. As for the section, you could only if you do not plan to make any money off of it. Otherwise, you must talk to Marsh and work out the royalty deals. ;D

Go pull your dick out of maths.

Does it explain what finite automata and more specifically radix trees are and why they beat both hash maps and string arrays in performance?

@Anthony: your [recursion](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,62702.msg665898.html#msg665898) is fail.

[aaaron]

no…but i could put that in there

[Godlord]

@Fiddy:

Nah, it's better to put that in a book covering programming languages. Anyway, does your book tell shit about the game design document? e.g. the what, the why, the how, the when, the who?
