Not particularly funny. It covers the components of real live games, and shows how to make a 2D space shooter. The new edition also includes a chapter (in the first edition it was only in PDF format on the CD) on text adventures. Over all, it''s a super book if you are conversant with C beforehand and you''re willing to stick with it.

...Game Programming Gurus is a pretty decent book. Acts as a good stepping stone if you want to get started in game development, however, I''d recommend you learn C and C++ first, without any relevance to games, then try making a few simple games on your own. Starting with games just makes the whole world of programming seem much more overwhelming at first.

Yea i guess the joke wasn''t that funny....Anyway, thanks for the help. I''m probably going to get that book anyway(even though i don''t know C++). Cya later
