Thanks for these. I also have Multiplayer Game Programming and think it's a good game development book. It covers a lot in little space, including Peer-to-Peer and Client-Server architecture, reliable UDP, client-side prediction and interpolation, and Steam integration. Also, it's a decent introduction to networking in general.

@Davindius thank you for your comment. I am going to rewrite the RoboCat game from the book to C#. This book is very important for me because it shows how to use low level API (Winsock, WSA, Windows Socket API). I study System.Net.Sockets. The best way to study something is writing simple clone games. I will write prototype games with local network like: Pong, Snake, Battle City and so on. I will improve these games for practice, for getting skills. Programming is a practice on 80% and 20% - theoretical knowledges. I think so. Sorry for my English.

I added book links to "Math and Physics" section.

Very nice!  

Hi there,

As someone who wants to explore the world of Gamedev without getting hands on with game engines this really is a good list. I do have one question though: do you have any recommendations for books approaching this similar topic but using C++ ?

This might be a silly thought (I'm very new to all this, even programming) but what really is the long term difference in obtaining this knowledge with C# rather than C++?

I study three languages: C#, TypeScript and Python.

My goals:

• C# - OpenGL 3.1, WinForms, WPF, Unity
• TypeScript - WebGL 1.0, Three.js, Babylon.js, Phaser, Pixi.js
• Python - plugins for Blender and Gimp

C# and OpenGL allows to write hybrid (graphics + GUI using WinForms and WPF) non game applications. WebGL and TypeScript allow it online but browser has restrictions. I like to study math (linear algebra, geometry and physic). And I like to study how to make simple game engines for simple games with multiplayer using Node.js, TypeScript, Socket.io, WebSockets with free hosting on Heroku where I can use multiplayer and databases (MongoDB and ClearDB/MySQL). I like to write shaders using math. I study all these stuffs together.

Hi all. I went to public school and was not used to buying textbooks with money, but when I went to college I had to do it and after graduation I had to sell them. I started looking for who buys textbooks. A friend advised free shipping and an honest assessment of books when buying on Booksrun. Guaranteed payment by check or paypal after checking the textbooks, which usually takes place within 5 days. So if you want to profitably sell or buy a used book, take my advice.
