Linux Development Tools, Programming Linux Games Ubuntuland

As an operating system created by computer geeks, Linux provides a particularly nice programming environment. Although it may be a bit intimidating and
confusing at first, it provides a great deal of power after the initial learning curve. In this chapter we will examine the basic Linux programming tools from
the perspective of a game developer.
If you are already experienced with Linux or UNIX programming, some parts of this chapter will be of less interest to you. We will cover specific details of these
tools later as we encounter them, so you will not be at a loss for skipping over sections of this chapter.
