I wanted to post this here because I thanked B2G (and some of you here) specifically for your help with my blog posts (which is what the book started out as). Essentially I took the posts I wrote on my blog (http://firefoxosgaming.blogspot.com/) and massaged them into a book.
The book is on Amazon now at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IZUYIGO. Here are the chapters: Introduction to Firefox OS Game Programming Pushing your Game to a Device Measuring Screen Size from the Inside Bouncing a Ball in CSS Drawing with Canvas - Part 1 Drawing with Canvas - Part 2 Drawing with Canvas - Part 3 Bouncing SVG - Part 1 Bouncing SVG - Part 2 Bouncing SVG - Part 3 Touch and more SVG Screen Orientation CSS Shell CSS Collisions Canvas Collisions in Color SVG Collisions CSS, Canvas, SVG Compared HTML5 Audio - Part 1 HTML5 Audio - Part 2 HTML5 Audio - Part 3 HTML5 Audio - Part 4 HTML5 Audio - Part 5 Vibration Device Orientation Local Storage Asynchronous Storage IndexedDB Storage Simple Complete Game - PaddleFox! Submitting a Game to the Marketplace Resources for Going Further The book came out to 50,000 words and Amazon says it is 400 pages, but some of the pages are screen shots. I'm hoping this book can help people see how easy it is to create games for Firefox OS! The book contains 26 stand-alone code examples that were tested and run on ZTE Open and Geeksphone Peak. I'm a complete novice at publishing eBooks and if anyone has any advice on how to promote this or let the world know, I'd be grateful. My main purpose is to promote Firefox OS game programming and I think FxOS will make a better world. But I'm a retired engineer and always avoided marketing in the past, so I don't know anything about marketing and promotion. Now that I'm recovering, it's back to my blog with new ideas for making some games on FxOS with CSS sprites. I'm also considering putting the book up on Leanpub and Nook. I'm also considering gathering up my 30+ Firefox OS Game reviews and putting them up on Amazon also, so people can know more about cool games on FxOS! If anyone has any advice, reply here, or my email (thulf...@gmail.com) or directly on Twitter (@thulfram). Again, thanks for all your help! _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
