Game Coding Complete missing Chapter 6!
Advertisement
Original Post
I just realized, my copy of Game Coding Complete, Second Edition by Mike McShaffry is missing the entire Chapter 6. It's in the Table of Contents, and the page numbers in the book jump over Chapter 6. I bought this book on Amazon and I'm missing an integral chapter of the book! Is anybody else missing Chapter 6? Who should I contact to get a new book with all the chapters? The publisher, PARAGLYPH PRESS?
Yeah it happens. Look at when the last Harry Potter book came out some people were missing the last chapter!
Potter spell broken for fans with missing pages

Haha, oh man, that must've caused a huge uproar.
I emailed the seller and requested a full refund as well as a refund for the return shipping fees. They accepted and apologized.
Then, I ordered the book again from Amazon because when I bought it 2 weeks ago they were all selling for over $100 (which is what I paid), but now they're selling for $45 new! Hopefully I get the whole book for $45, then this missing chapter will turn out to be a blessing in disguise (I saved $60!).

How ironic that a book called "Game Coding Complete" was incomplete and lacked a whole chapter [smile]

Isn't that the chapter on how to make MMORPG games...? :p
It's a shame the McShaffry website is down, I enjoyed that book.

No, it's the chapter on the Main Loop.
The McShaffry site is working for me.
It was working for me too about a week ago when I last visited and he still keeps it up to date. Might've changed url's though since I bought the book?
I just did a google search for the site.
