1.0 out of 5 stars This book has issues (I mean it's loaded with it), 26 Oct 2006
I have to say that when I purchased this book, I was going to the a definitive guide on creating games but clearly this is not the case. Firstly if you are a newbie to ActionScript this book is not for you. Secondly the author seems to think just by using "variable declarations" we are using AS2 when the book is plain AS1. Thirdly the author really over complicates the matter by using inefficient AS and writes a 100 lines of code when it can just be written by 50 lines and finally the book does not explain the loose ends of each project. For instance, complex collision detection with ball and line is just FULL of bugs and endlessly and cannot be fixed, sure yeah, wow we used simultaneous equations to solve a balls projection with a line and use trig to find where the ball collides with lines, but what about the corners, you can't simply detect this collision. My advice to you is that DO NOT buy this book because you will be disappointed as I am. Hey Jobe, don't make an advance 3D golf game with sick graphics and then teach us a god awful method for creating games.
