Learn How to make Angry Birds

This is the first time I've seen the free tutorial with the option to buy the source and assets. I think this is a very interesting way to solve the problem of monetizing while still allowing uncrippled content.<p>What is interesting to me is that the concepts in the article are arguably more valuable the sample code itself. But by charging for the shallower of the two assets, you end up charging the people who are more likely to pay in the first place.

This guy has some other really great articles if you search around his blog a bit. Here's few I have bookmarked.<p><a href="http://www.wildbunny.co.uk/blog/2011/04/06/physics-engines-for-dummies/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wildbunny.co.uk/blog/2011/04/06/physics-engines-f...</a><p><a href="http://www.wildbunny.co.uk/blog/2011/04/20/collision-detection-for-dummies/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wildbunny.co.uk/blog/2011/04/20/collision-detecti...</a><p><a href="http://www.wildbunny.co.uk/blog/2011/03/25/speculative-contacts-an-continuous-collision-engine-approach-part-1/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wildbunny.co.uk/blog/2011/03/25/speculative-conta...</a>

This is great, the idea of deconstructing well known games as a teaching method is pretty cool.<p>Knowing the effect that you are hoping to achieve while reading the code really helps in understanding the implementation.<p>Very nice, keep them coming :)

Thanks for the feedback, guys :) Didn't notice I'd been posted on here until now...<p>There is a new article in the works as well; stay tuned :)

Too bad this is flash based. An html5 version would have been more interesting to me.

Awesome tutorial. This is the first time I have seen a tutorial that actually goes end-to-end.

And pretty cool that he has chosen an already existing game here. Pretty smooth!
