Upcoming Multiplatform Game Programming Book for Beginners

Hi, My name is Jazon Yamamoto, and I started my game programming career here at Gamdev. I started programming games when I was 13 and did so as a hobby ever since (I can't believe it's almost been 10 years!). I even submitted an image for Image of The Day once. You can find it here. Its the left most image on the second row. I submitted this when I had been coding for a year. I haven't been active in these forums for a long time now, but I still get nostalgic when I come here. This is where i learned everything I know from many different posters that came and went throughout the years. This is also where I drew my motivation whenever I lost interest in programming. Among my favorite community members is Stompy9999. I love his games! He would upload them to the GD showcase, but I eventually lost track of him. Anyway, I completed my first professional project, and I would like to share it here with you guys. I wrote a book titled The Black Art of Multiplatform Game Programming. This book covers beginner/intermediate level C/C++ game programming on Windows/Linux using SDL, and it will release on April 16, 2014. I had lots of fun doing this, and learned ALOT. This is pretty much the biggest thing I've done in my life so far! I would like to thanks you guys for being awesome and guiding me through my journey, and I hope I can guide you guys as well. Right now, I'm working on a space exploration indie title. Don't want to reveal too much, but I'll let you guys know when that's done as well ;)

Jazonxyz,

I really appreciate your positive attitude about game development. Returning in gratitude to contribute something to the community that helped you is just the mindset to have.

If only the whole world were this way...

Personal life and your private thoughts always effect your career. Research is the intellectual backbone of game development and the first order. Version Control is crucial for full management of applications and software. The better the workflow pipeline, then the greater the potential output for a quality game. Completing projects is the last but finest order.

Congrats on completing and releasing a book, Jazon! Quite an accomplishment. Out of curiosity, do you cover SDL 2.x or 1.2 in your book?
