Description
To even try to keep pace with the rapid evolution of game
development, you need a strong foundation in core programming
techniques-not a hefty volume on one narrow topic or one that
devotes itself to API-specific implementations. Finally, there's a
guide that delivers! As a professor at the Spanish university that
offered that country's first master's degree in video game
creation, author Daniel Sanchez-Crespo recognizes that
there's a core programming curriculum every game designer should be
well versed in-and he's outlined it in these pages! By focusing on
time-tested coding techniques-and providing code samples that use
C++, and the OpenGL and DirectX APIs-Daniel has produced a
guide whose shelf life will extend long beyond the latest industry
trend. Code design, data structures, design patterns, AI, scripting
engines, 3D pipelines, texture mapping, and more: They're all
covered here-in clear, coherent fashion and with a focus on the
essentials that will have you referring back to this volume for
years to come.
