About this title

Reviews

Kawick, who has worked on a number of game titles, assumes the reader is wildly interested in real-time strategy (RTS) and real-time tactical (RTT) games and has a strong working knowledge of the C++ programming language. This is not a simple introductory guide, as he covers everything from graphics to artificial intelligence and tile management to game engine design. While useful to advanced-level programmers, the book will also attract ambitious novices who want to learn how to design games.
