Acknowledgments

Every book you’ve ever read perpetuates a big fat lie. And I’m here to out the publishing industry’s dirty little secret—books are not “by” only one person. Yes, you see only one name on book covers (including this one), but it takes a team of dedicated people to pull off the ﬁnal product. Authors could not do it alone; I certainly could not have done it alone. So I want to thank all those who helped make this book a reality.

Thanks to Jenny Davidson for her dual role as Project Editor and Copy Editor. Jenny kept me on schedule and my commas in place.

Thanks to Maneesh Sethi, my Technical Reviewer, who made sure my programs worked the way I said they did.

Thanks to Michael Beady, my Proofreader. His work makes this book look good—literally.

I also want to thank Emi Smith, my Senior Acquisitions Editor, for all of her encouragement.

Finally, I want to thank all of the game programmers who created the games I played while growing up. They inspired me to work in the industry and create games of my own. I hope I can inspire a few readers to do the same.
