My father got me that book when I was getting more seriously into game programing and it's an absolutely wonderful tome. It has a lot of very good points about not just programming but also game design and how to achieve interesting and seemingly intelligent NPC behavior with a few simple tricks.
Parts of it may be a bit dated now, though.
- wernsey 5y agoMy parents also got me that book as a teenager. I learned C from that book: I knew Pascal which we were taught at school and once I realised that you just substituted BEGIN and END with { and } it was easy to learn the other aspect. I really regret that I don't have it any more for the sentimental value it held. I see archive.org has it in their library [0], though it is is marked as "not for borrow" [0] https://archive.org/details/teachyourselfgam00lamo https://archive.org/details/teachyourselfgam00lamo EDIT: Doh, I recogonised the author's name, but I'm thinking of a different book: "Teach yourself game-programming in 21 days"
