Product Description
Successful game programmers understand that in order to take theirskills beyond the basics, they must have an understanding of centralmath topics; however, finding a guide that explains how these topicsrelate directly to games is not always easy. Beginning Math Conceptsfor Game Developers is the solution! It includes several hands-onactivities in which basic math equations are used for the creation ofgraphs and, ultimately, animations. By the time you finish, you willhave developed a complete application from the ground up that allowsyou to endlessly explore game development scenarios for 2D games. Ifyou have a basic understanding of programming essentials and a desireto hone your math skills, then get ready to take a unique journey thatexamines what is possible when you combine game development with basicmath concepts.
