Description
There are already some great books on programming 2D games, so why write one that focuses only on 2D graphics?The answer is that whereas other books might succeed at covering a breadth of topics, they don't necessarily go into the depth required to make professional-looking games. Some great texts cover other advanced game development topics, such as game physics, game AI, real-time 3D graphics, and game architectures, but the information on 2D graphics has been difficult to find in a single text. Until now, that is.
Further, the books that do discuss the creation of 2D games focus on only one platform (OpenGL, DirectX, Flash, XNA). In reality, as you will see in this book, the core concepts of graphics programming are the same, regardless of platform.
