Most books I read on it are not friendly with students that are just starting. And what I want is to see how the code is written and glued together, which most books lack. I don't know, I might give this course a go and see how things go. It's cheaper than most books about game physics anyway.

Wow! I did not know Rollerecoaster Tycoon was programmed in assembly!! This is super cool.

I love Chris Sawyer games.

Chris' website says he used MS Macro Assembler, MS Visual C, MS DirectX 5 SDK, and some other custom tools to develop RCT.
