Programming 2D Scrolling Games Book - Free Now
Hey all, I've gotten a lot of requests for the book and I've just not been able to keep up with things. Seeing that I can no longer support the book, I've decided to go ahead and just release it under the Creative Common License. http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nc-sa/4.0/88x31.png "Programmin...

Re: Where can I get the Book <Programming 2D scrolling games
Perhaps you write a post in the community sub-forum of the Blitz's official forum about this idea. I think that you will obtain a lot of good feedbacks from Blitz users. Hi. I actually wrote a book for Blitz Basic a long time ago, but then when Blitz Basic turned into Blitz3D, BlitzMax, etc. I was ...

Re: Programming 2D Scrolling Games (V 4.61 & 5.0) Book Relea
I received a new hard copy of the book about a week ago. I noticed that many of the program listings had a border around them. If you were trying to put the listings in the Kindle version in tables, that could well be your problem, as tables can be tricky. BookBaby got back to me and said that they...

Re: Programming 2D Scrolling Games (V 4.61 & 5.0) Book Relea
Note that the iBooks version is now available for your iPad. Just open up the store and search for "Programming 2D Scrolling Games" and you should find it. I'm guessing you can also view it on your iPhone, but I would imagine it'll be tough to read on a smaller device. I'm still waiting fo...

Re: Programming 2D Scrolling Games (V 4.61 & 5.0) Book Relea
Target price is less than $10US for digital. It may be $9.99 or $9.95, depending on the service provider. I am finding the entire digital publishing system quite a challenge to work through at the moment. I want to make sure that book purchasers get their products correctly and securely. With that i...

Re: Programming 2D Scrolling Games (V 4.61 & 5.0) Book Relea
Will this be available in Amazon Kindle format? I've been trying to get that to work. It works on iBooks with no problem (using ePub), but the .mobi format has been terrible to work with. The issue is that the code-formatting gets all goofed up and it's really bad. I called BookBaby and asked them ...

Re: Programming 2D Scrolling Games (V 4.61 & 5.0) Book Relea
Hey guys...I got contacted by Lulu last night about this too. It is weird since the first thing I did was order a copy of the book to make sure it looked good before putting it live. My copy arrived two days before I opened the book to the public and it was fine. :/ Anyway, I spent a few hours last ...

Cool deal. Thanks for the info. Note though that it's only in 5.0 that it's showing up as deprecated.
