Trang 1First of all, I'd like to thank the development editor for this
book, Lisa Thibault, for being determined, patient, enthusiastic, and encouraging Also, thanks to tech editors Tom Jacobson and David Fox for providing valuable feedback and suggestions
along the way
Thanks to Charles Alderton, whose creation has kept me
motivated throughout the years
Thanks to my parents, who had the intuition to make sure I had access to computers as I was growing up, whether it was a PC
in high school, those incredibly fast 286 machines in my Dad's office, or the Epson QX-10 in 1985
And of course, thanks to my friends and the rest of my family, who never stopped asking, "Is the book done yet?" or
demanding, "Finish the book!"
Naturally, though, the real gratitude goes to the countless
programmers and computer scientists who were intelligent
enough to come up with all these game programming ideas in the first place, and who were wise enough to share their ideas
