Discover how to incorporate text, menus, and dialogs into a graphical user interface. Understand the process for having your application receive the TRUE BREW� designation. Learn various techniques for optimizing your code.  Tricks of the 3D Game
Programming Gurus takes game programmers to the next level of
programming, teaching them the latest techniques and tools: DirectX, 3D
acceleration, Artificial Intelligence and explains, in detail, 3D
algorithms including texture mapping and lighting Covers : Game basics, history of video games, 3D modelers and graphics tools, Windows C programming primer, graphics, COM, DirectX and DirectDraw fundamentals, DirectDraw surfaces, double buffering, working with bitmaps, color-keying, vector rasterization, 2D transformations and clipping, input and DirectInput, sound effects with DirectSound and DirectMusic, binary search trees (BSTs) for 3D worlds, multithreading, artificial intelligence for games, physics modeling, gravity, bouncing effects and particle systems, and Direct3D and 3D programming  Developing your own 3D game engine can be a demanding task. If you’re up for the challenge, then "3D Game Engine Programming" is ready to take you through each step. All you need to begin is a working knowledge of C or C++and basic knowledge of the DirectX and Direct3D interfaces. With these skills behind you, you’re ready to tackle the mathematical concepts and API-independent interfaces that will add up to your working game engine. This book takes you beyond simply building your game engine, showing you how you can apply it to implement a network deathmatch first-person shooter. You’ll also cover additional tasks such as implementing a level editor to build your own 3D levels from scratch with a graphical user interface.  Deliver console-rocking sound, music, and video effects to your games
with this all-in-one toolkit for C++ game programmers. Load the CD—and
experience Microsoft’s Digital Media developers at play, learning how
to use Microsoft DirectX 9 technologies to produce amazing,
professional-quality effects. From mixing and moving sounds around a
3-D space to taking video to the third dimension, you get expert
insights and performance tips direct from the developers, along with a
game-ready arsenal of code, copyright-free audio and video, and
ready-to-use effects on CD. It’s everything you need to fuel your
creativity—and take your game players to spectacular new 3-D worlds! |
