Director MX 2004 Games : Game Development with Director

Rating:
Summary: Not a tutorial book for beginners
Review: That's right. If you are looking for step by step learning in this text, forget it. What the author does is present several game models on the CD. You examine the game and the code. He does some explanation at a high level of what the code does. There is some basic treatment of explaining what function, variable, and other programming elements are. But not enough for a novis. This may be a good reference text that shows project examples, but it is far from a solid instructional work. If you learn from picking apart examples, then this book is for you. If you want step-by-step explanation with support, then I can not recommend this book.
