This discussion forum is a companion to the book, Game Coding Complete 2nd Edition, published by Paraglyph Press. This is meant to be a self-supporting community of professional game programmers and talented hobbiests. Lively debate is highly encouraged - that's one thing that most programmers do really well. Unprofessional commentary, flames, and coarse language is unwelcome here.

You must register with your real email address, since the web site will email you an activation key. This is the only way I can limit bogus registrations on the site. If you don't want to give me your real email address, that's fine - but you'll have to be satisfied with "Guest" access. Registering gives you increased access to the discussion forums. Everyone has access to the source code.

From time to time I may send email to everyone registered on this website - I'm very sensitive to privacy and I hate SPAM too, so please feel free to edit your profile and remove your email address if you don't want to recieve any email from this site.

I guarantee absolutely nothing. If you find anything useful on this site consider yourself lucky - if I or anyone else finds the time to answer a single question ask yourself if you've just witnessed a sign of the imminent destruction of the universe. That said, I'll do my best to make sure that questions are answered and that this site is something you'll come back to again and again.

I would also ask that you realize that everyone, even your humble author, volunteers their personal time to engage in conversation and seek solutions to various questions posted here. If you ask a question, please be polite. If you get an answer, be polite again and offer your thanks. Do this and you'll find answers to your questions almost every time you post.

The amount of time I have to make this site better is directly proportional to the success of the book - so buy a copy and tell your friends to do that too!
