He why not?

I don't know if Toronto is a better place for a French book than say Paris =
or=20
Montreal. Toronto is majoritary English speaking. But I see a lot (but a=20
lot!) of game programming books on the shelves lately. Subjects are diverse=
,=20
from AI to graphic design. Also many private school advertise game=20
programming courses/seminars.

When I looked at the French side I see almost nothing.
=46or my class I would need a book with plenty of examples and most of all=
=20
exercises. A book directed to beginners in C and Allegro that I could use i=
n=20
class. To be used at 100% in my computer class the book should cover all=20
topics in the Ontario Curriculum (courses ICS3M and ICS4M) which goes from=
=20
intro notions to life cycle, basic data structures like trees and linked=20
lists, sorting,.. By the way it would be nice to introduce trees, hashmaps,=
=20
and other abstract structures by visual examples (that reminds me a nice ja=
va=20
applet that would let you manipulate an AVL tree). Still the book should=20
allow a student to produce a nice auto-satisfying project by the end.

Well that's many ideas! The more I think the more I see that such a book wo=
uld=20
have a nice target market here if available in English as well. As you may=
=20
know very few books are appropriate for a university or high school student=
=20
within the realm of a course.

What is the concept you are thinking of? Game programming or Learn programm=
ing=20
with C and Allegro?

Either way that would be a nice project I would like to be in.
