About the Author
Roger Engelbert is a game developer with over ten years of experience in developing
online games. He grew up surrounded by video games and thinks of classic, 8-bit arcade
tles as a form of art. He is the author behind the blog Done With Computers, which is
chock-full of tutorials on game development and design. Roger sincerely hopes to soon
live in a world where people of all ages will be given the knowledge and opportunity to
experience the joy of building their own games.
I would like to thank the people from Packt Publishing who helped me
through the process of wring this book. And above all, my family, who
lovingly accepted my, "Sorry, I can't do that, I'm wring a book" as an
excuse to avoid every task and chore imaginable. (I wonder how long I
can keep giving that excuse now that the book has been published...)
