Starting Out with Games and Graphics in C++
Good introductory book for people interested in learning C++
using DarkGDK as a vehicle. DarkGDK was really the draw
for me reading this book because I wanted a book that introduced
DarkGDK for a course titled Software Practice which is about
keeping students programming and we needed something motivational.
DarkGDK is capable of a lot more than this book manages to cover.
It really needs a 3D more advanced follow up. But for what it is
it's quite reasonable. Students reading this book should be
able to program rather sophisticated 2D games with a little practice.
