Introduction
Books
Computer books
Lua Game Development Practice Guide is the result of more than 10 years of experience and wisdom by senior Lua game development engineers. The founder of Lua personally recommends, it is one of the most practical and representative works in the Lua game development field. It not only describes in detail the various technical details, methods, skills, and best practices of using Lua in game development, it also explains how to use Lua as the main tool to convert game design into code implementation. In addition, it focuses on the core elements of the Lua language. The most important thing is that this book contains a large number of well-designed cases and provides complete source code, which is highly operable.
The book consists of 15 chapters: 1st ~ Chapter 3 briefly introduces the features and authorization of Lua language and its powerful use in game development. Chapter 3 ~ Chapter 5 describes the basic syntax and core elements of Lua ~ Chapter 7 describes the integration of Lua and C/C ++ programs and the technical details related to interaction with C ++. Chapter 7 ~ Chapter 9 describes the preparations required before development and how to design the Lua version. Chapter 10th describes how to use Lua to process game data; chapter 2 describes the LUA-driven GUI; Chapter 11th describes two complete game development cases; Chapter 12th describes how to use Lua to define and control ai with examples; chapter 2 demonstrates Lua's powerful functions in graphic rendering and image processing; chapter 2 discusses Lua, multimedia, Lua script debugging, Lua Application resource management, and Lua code release.
