Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge all my fantastic Editors, and their support staff at Apress, who worked those long hours and toiled so very hard on this book, to make it the ultimate Absolute Beginner Android application production book title. Steve Anglin, for his work as the Lead Editor on the book, and for recruiting me to write programming titles at Apress covering the most popular open source application development platforms (Android and Java). Matthew Moodie, for his work as the Development Editor on the book, and for his experience and guidance during the process of making this book one of the great Java 8 Game Development titles currently on the market. Mark Powers, for his work as the Coordinating Editor on the book, and for his constant diligence in making sure I either hit my chapter delivery deadlines or surpassed them. Lisa Vecchione and Karen Jameson, for their work as the Copy Editors for the book, and for their careful attention to excruciatingly minute details, and for conforming the text to the current Apress book writing standards. Chád Darby, for his work as the Technical Reviewer on the book, and for making sure that I did not make any Java programming mistakes, because Java code with mistakes does not run properly, if at all, unless the Java code includes very lucky mistakes, which is quite rare in computer programming these days. Anna Ishchenko, for her work as the Book Cover Designer for the book, and for creating the graphic design for the book cover that brings it into conformance with other popular Apress Java 8 and JavaFX 8 programming titles. Ira H. Harrison Rubin, a friend and client, and one of the world’s finest and most respected comic book and comic strip authors, for allowing us to use some of his BagelToons IP (intellectual property), specifically an InvinciBagel concept, to use as a platform to show our readers how a game can be created around an actual client’s intellectual property. Be sure not to create your own InvinciBagel game without checking with Mr. Rubin regarding using his intellectual property! Patrick Harrington, a friend and client, and one of the world’s finest caricature artists, for creating the 2D assets for the InvinciBagel game, and allowing me to use some of them to show how to create a basic Java 8 game engine. Andreas Loew, a fellow Apress author, for allowing me to use his CodeAndWeb GmbH product PhysicsEditor, or PhysEd, in Chapter 16 of the book to show an alternate professional collision polygon development tool work process. Finally, I’d like to acknowledge Oracle for acquiring Sun Microsystems, and continuing to enhance Java 8, so that it remains the premiere open source programming language, and for acquiring the JavaFX new media engine, and making it a part of Java 8, so that existing Java applications can be “gamified” and made “edutainment” friendly. www.it-ebooks.info xxiii
