Overview

Description

Game Programming in C++ is today’s practical, hands-on approach to programming 3D video games in C++. Drawing on the author’s pioneering experience teaching game development at USC, it guides students through all key concepts hands-on, and helps them deepen their expertise through several start-to-finish, in-depth game projects. Author Sanjay Madhav introduces core concepts one at a time, in an easy-to-digest fashion, paying special attention to the math that professional game developers need to know. Step by step, students will become increasingly comfortable with real-world C++ game development, and learn how to use C++ in all facets of game programming, including graphics, physics, AI, audio, camera systems, animations, and more.

Features

A fun and easy approach modeled after USC’s pioneering game development course
Includes practical C++ game code examples in every chapter, and many “programming excursions” showing how to fully apply key concepts in code
Offers practical programming exercises to hone real-world skills
Culminates in real projects that apply and integrate what students have learned in each section, and grow in complexity as they progress
Instructor Resources include a Solutions Manual and PowerPoint slides
