General discussions / SFML Game Development Book
« on: February 05, 2014, 09:33:46 pm »
Hi!
http://www.packtpub.com/sfml-game-development/book
I am new to C++ And SFML but have been making games in Flash / Stage3D for several years.
This book on SFML is amazing, honestly, I have long been depressed by the likes of Entity Systems, specifically the kind of games I want to make often require many similar actors with different interactions/states/weapons etc. I have been stuck with inheritance. I know all the common problems I face but was marooned.
After a decade of books on Actionscript, no book gave an overview about how games can be well constructed and by comparison, I have never read anything quite so rich, sure the code is a tough one to follow for a newbie but the principles and ideas are lighting up my brain making me feel excited about programming again.
Does anyone know a modern c++ book?
The book has taught me more in 80 pages than I learned in 5 years!
Great job!

Think I might try VS11 in the mean time. Lol, my boss got the response "SOON" on Friday, I am down with that timeframe.
