"Dark GDK book" according to Dvir Cohen Julius. My English is not native, sorry.Well, I gave this book 2 stars because it is Tony Gaddis book which is one of the best writers I ever saw BUT this book is just about the Dark GDK ONLY.the c++ which you will learn from this book is VERY basic and most of the book is about the Dark GDK.the title of the book "Games & Graphics in C++" just isn. Robert Evans said Not a good C++ beginner. I understand they were trying to keep people excited about programming by jumping right into graphics, but it really sells the learner short. I am so glad that I read "Beginning C++ through Game Programming third edition" first. If you want a solid understanding of C++ and the STL, thats your book. This one leaves out so many many things, . Great book, but should be called Starting Out With the Dark GDK. Alex Gough This book is a great resource for starting to learn C++. But you have to realize it focuses on games and graphics for the most part. Specifically the Dark GDK. You will use this GDK throughout the entire book, for it's functions such as dbCircle, LoopGDK, etc. But also, the basic skills of C++ and programming in general, are explained. The

Tony Gaddis’s accessible, step-by-step presentation helps beginning students understand the important details necessary to become skilled programmers at an introductory level. Only enough game- and graphics-theory is covered for students to understand the examples.. This approach insures that students remain motivated by the material, while still getting a solid CS1 foundation. His approach is both gradual and highly accessible, ensuring that readers understand the logic behind developing high-quality programs.In Starting Out with Games and Graphics in C++, Gaddis covers the essentials of programming for a novice using the C++ language. Throughout the book, programming topics are illustrated with graphical examples, including full chapter long case studies that implement simple, but complete, video games. Gaddis motivates the study of both programming skills and the C++ programming language by presenting all the details needed to understand the “how” and the “why”—but never losing sight of the fact that most beg
