Program 3D Games in C++: The #1 Language at Top Game Studios
Worldwide C++ remains the key language at many leading game
development studios. Since it's used throughout their enormous code
bases, studios use it to maintain and improve their games, and look
for it constantly when hiring new developers. Game Programming in
C++ is a practical, hands-on approach to programming 3D video games
in C++. Modeled on Sanjay Madhav's game programming courses at USC,
it's fun, easy, practical, hands-on, and complete. Step by step,
you'll learn to use C++ in all facets of real-world game
programming, including 2D and 3D graphics, physics, AI, audio, user
interfaces, and much more. You'll hone real-world skills through
practical exercises, and deepen your expertise through
start-to-finish projects that grow in complexity as you build your
skills. Throughout, Madhav pays special attention to demystifying
the math that all professional game developers need to know. Set up
your C++ development tools quickly, and get started Implement basic
2D graphics, game updates, vectors, and game physics Build more
intelligent games with widely used AI algorithms Implement 3D
graphics with OpenGL, shaders, matrices, and transformations
Integrate and mix audio, including 3D positional audio Detect
collisions of objects in a 3D environment Efficiently respond to
player input Build user interfaces, including Head-Up Displays
(HUDs) Improve graphics quality with anisotropic filtering and
deferred shading Load and save levels and binary game data Whether
you're a working developer or a student with prior knowledge of C++
and data structures, Game Programming in C++ will prepare you to
solve real problems with C++ in roles throughout the game
development lifecycle. You'll master the language that top studios
are hiring for-and that's a proven route to success.
