About the author

 

Rick Battagline is a game developer who has been working with web- and browser-based technologies since 1997. He wrote his first computer game in 1996 and, in 2006, he founded BattleLine Games LLC., an independent game studio where he works to this day. That same year, his game, Epoch Star, was nominated for an award at the Slamdance Guerrilla Games Competition, and was listed in Game Informer Magazine issue 156 as one of "The top ten games you've never heard of."

Since then, Rick has written hundreds of games for platforms including the web, Windows PC, iOS, Android, Wii U, and Nintendo Entertainment System emulators. He has developed games in web technologies including WebAssembly, HTML5, WebGL, JavaScript, TypeScript, Flash, and PHP.

I want to thank Prasad Annadata and Steve Tack for their tremendous contributions to this book. Without your help, I would have never finished this. Special thanks to my editors, Ashitosh Gupta, Ralph Rosario, and Smit Carvalho, for all of their hard work. I would also like to thank my father, Richard, and my brother, John, who are there for me when I need them.

Finally, I want to thank my wife, Kate, and my children, Luke, Lilly, and Cora. You mean everything to me.
