The book focuses on building a complete game engine, including graphics, physics, programming, audio, AI, data structures, memory management, and more. In the fourth part the engine is ready to use for the two demo applications you'll create-- a black jack game and a 3D walkthrough using a portal rendering system. Next comes graphics and environments, including the rendering system, the drawing of static models, and more advanced rendering topics such as level of detail, scene graphs, graphical effects, resource management, and scene management for environments in general. The book is broken into five main parts, beginning with introductory material, the engine core, input, sound, and networking systems. A variety of AI techniques are covered next, followed by scripting-- command, property, and compiled scripting. This cross-platform approach makes the information and techniques easy to apply to any type of project. In the third part, Physics, AI, and Scripting are covered. The technologies used include OpenGL, C++, and the Windows XP, MacOS X, and Linux operating systems. Ultimate 3D Game Engine Design and Architecture teaches how
calvinnme said An OK first book on the subject of game engine design. This book does an OK job of walking through the basic anatomy of a game engine. You won't have anything too complex at the end of the day, because at only 500 pages, this allows only roughly 50 pages per chapter. Imagine trying to get everything you need to say about game physics in 50 pages! What was David Eberly thinking when he . Michael Gonzalez said How game engine components come together. This book is not an instruction manual for a programming language. Rather it designed with the avid game designer enthusiast in mind. This book will cover briefly the code necessary to create game engine components. Moreover it will focus primarily on the structure of a game engine.In other words, from a architectural point of view. Agha Khan said Is this Ultimate Is this Ultimate 3D Game Engine?
