everything you need to know about how to make video games. If you've
never done any programming before and don't know where to start, this

action games that cover all the popular genres of 2D gaming. Create
intelligent enemies, use realistic physics, sound effects and music, and
learn how to animate game characters. Whether you're creating games for
the web or mobile devices, everything you need to get started on a
career as a game designer is right here.
