Quelques mots sur l'auteur

Jack Donovan is a game developer and a co-founder of Team Aurora Games, an independent game studio located in Burlington, Vermont. He founded Team Aurora Games with a group of his college peers because they wanted an outlet for creative projects that could eventually evolve into fully marketable games. He has been coding games in the Unity game engine since 2010, and has been working with the OUYA console ever since the initial developer kit release in 2012. He programs primarily in C#, C++, Objective-C, and JavaScript. He has extensive experience in the DirectX, XNA, and Unity libraries and has developed his own homemade engines as well. He is also a passionate technical writer. He has contributed DIY/instructional articles to Wired.com and Popular Science magazine, covering several unique hardware and software projects. He studied at Champlain College, which he graduated from in May 2014 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Game Programming. When he's not making games, he loves playing them with friends and discovering new ideas and concepts. He's an avid music listener and coffee drinker, both of which helped make this book possible.
