Customer Reviews

A good start

I think the book is good for someone who has some knowledge in programming and is willing to specialize in game development on the Mac. The web site is also a good complement to the book and is updated regularly. Almost the only book on the topic available for Macintosh and a good one.

Good Book

This book is very helpful to anyone who is determined to be or already is a game programmer. If you want to program a game, use this book! Not only is the book useful but the author is a pro, so {Come on!}.

Error in Project Builder version of the source code

Since I contributed to this book, I shouldn't rate it. However, I would like to encourage Mac developers to purchase the book to garner further interest from publishers to release more Mac specific programming books. In addition, I would like to inform readers that an error exists in the Project Builder version of the source code that comes with the book. If you load any of the project files on the CD-ROM and try to compile them, the build will fail. This is because the file InfoPlist.strings is not on the CD-ROM with the source code files. Fortunately, the author has a small download to fix the problem. Visit his site for instructions...
