C# 2.0 introduces several language extensions, the most important of which are Generics, Anonymous Methods, Iterators, and Partial Types.
The language extensions in C# 2.0 were designed to ensure maximum compatibility with existing code. For example, even though C# 2.0 gives special meaning to the words where, yield, and partial in certain contexts, these words can still be used as identifiers. Indeed, C# 2.0 adds no new keywords as such keywords could conflict with identifiers in existing code.
The new C++ standard is full of powerful additions to the language: templates, run-time type identification (RTTI), namespaces, and exceptions to name a few. This tutorial discusses one of the minor extensions: the new C++ casting operators.
There are a number of tutorials available for the intermediate game programmer, but there are very few good tutorials for beginners who have never drawn a pixel on the screen. A quick search on the net reveals hundreds of sites devoted to 3D, polygons, texture- mapping and other advance topics, but the beginner has no where to get started. This tutorial is for C programmers who want to start learning game programming.
This is a comprehensive tutorial to guide newcomers to game programming and Allegro through the process of writing a simple game. Allegro is a game programming library.
