About this title

Synopsis

Awesome Game Creation: No Programming Required, Second Edition teaches aspiring game developers how to create their own computer games without programming skills, and provides an in-depth understanding of how the game design process works. Using hands-on tutorials and "drag-and-drop" game engines, readers learn to make and modify their own interactive 2D and 3D computer games, create models, and modify existing games. The book uses development tools like The Games Factory, The PIE 3D Game Creation System, gmax, 3D GameMaker, Milkshape 3D, GameMaker, and other cutting-edge software. Limited-use versions or demos of these development tools are located on the accompanying CD-ROM, or may be easily downloaded from Web sites. This is a great way to learn the fundamentals of game design and game creation: no programming skills required!
