Ask HN: (html5) game development books for a seasoned programmer?

2 pointsclyfe1 comment

I want to build html5/canvas games. Please recommended books on the subject. Note that I am a seasoned programmer in several programming languages, mostly web-development.

I am mostly interested in algorithms/techniques/best practices etc (stuff like game loop, director metaphor, scene-graph, path finding etc). The programming language is not important.

For example, books whose TOC's I find interesting are:

http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Game-Programming-GameDev-net-Collection/dp/159863805X

http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Game-Programming-GameDev-net-Collection/dp/1598638068

Please share insight on the subject.
