ActionScript Books
I recently completed Beginning Flash Game Programming For Dummies
. This is a very solid introduction to game development concepts. It’s a bit light in places for those with prior programming experience, but the content on movement, physics and math makes up for that nicely. On the downside, this is strictly a ActionScript 2 and Flash reference. I’ve decided the develop with ActionScript 3 and Flex Builder. While most of the code samples need to be reworked for AS3, the book still provide a good conceptual reference for game development topics.
I’ve also picked up ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook: Solutions for Flash Platform and Flex Application Developers from O’Reilly. This is an excellent reference book. I read the first few chapters in their entirety. Now, I’m just reading sections to solve specific problems. I am eager to get my hands on Essential ActionScript 3.0, which was just recently released.
