Beskrivning
Want to develop games for Xbox 360 and Windows Phone 7? This hands-on book will get you started with Microsoft's XNA 4.0 development framework right away -- even if you have no experience developing games. Although XNA includes several key concepts that can be difficult for beginning web developers to grasp, Learning XNA 4.0 shortens the learning curve by walking you through the framework in a clear and understandable step-by-step format. Each chapter offers a self-contained lesson with illustrations and annotated examples, along with exercises and review questions to help you test your understanding and practice new skills as you go. Once you've finished this book, you'll know how to develop your own sophisticated games from start to finish. * Learn game development from 2D animation to 3D cameras and effects * Delve into high-level shader language (HLSL) and introductory artificial intelligence concepts * Build three complete, exciting games using 2D, 3D, and multiplayer techniques * Develop for and deploy your games to the Xbox 360 and Windows Phone 7

Mer om författaren

Aaron Reed has extensive software development experience and more importantly, experience in software development education. Since 2004 he has taught courses at Neumont University in .NET, web development and web services, XNA, systems design and architecture, and more. Aaron's experience in teaching both DirectX and XNA for several years to university-level students helps him understand what topics are easily understood and which ones need more depth and emphasis. Through experience in the classroom he also has a good understanding of what format and sequence makes the most sense to present the material. This book follows that format and is meant to present game development concepts in the way most efficient and most comprehendible as proven in the classroom.

Betyg & recensioner

3 recensioner, genomsnitt 3.7/5

  1. 3/5 Belzelcior

    Ganska vettig bok om man besitter någorlunda grundlkunskap i objektorienterad programmering (ex. C++, C#) och vill gå vidare med spelprogrammering i C#. Det jag saknade i denna bok var bl a mer avancerad kollisionsdetektering (ex. roterade kollisionsrektanglar med annan utgångsvektor än grundobjektet, per-pixel kollisioner med mera).

    Man får däremot en bra genomgång gällande texturhantering, spritesheets (ex för animationer av en sprite), ljudhantering, vad en Update()-metod är till för osv.

    Om man ej besitter tidigare kunskap i objektorienterad programmering är det nog bättre att börja med ex. Microsoft Visual C# 2010: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming International Edition 4th Edition (ISBN 9781111529758),
