DOWNLOAD EBOOKProgram 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMake your WebAssembly journey fun while making a game with it Key FeaturesCreate a WebAssembly game that implements sprites, animations, physics, particle systems, and other game development fundamentalsGet to grips with advanced game mechanics in WebAssemblyLearn to use WebAssembly and WebGL to render to the HTML5 canvas elementBook Description Within the next few years, WebAssembly will change the web as we know it. It promises a world where you can write an application for the web in any language, and compile it for native platforms as well as the web. This book is designed to introduce web developers and game developers to the world of WebAssembly by walking through the development of a retro arcade game. You will learn how to build a WebAssembly application using C++, Emscripten, JavaScript, WebGL, SDL, and HTML5. This book covers a lot of ground in both game development and web application development. When creating a game or application that targets WebAssembly, developers need to learn a plethora of skills and tools. This book is a sample platter of those tools and skills. It covers topics including Emscripten, C/C++, WebGL, OpenGL, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS. The reader will also learn basic techniques for game development, including 2D sprite animation, particle systems, 2D camera design, sound effects, 2D game physics, user interface design, shaders, debugging, and optimization. By the end of the book, you will be able to create simple web games and web applications targeting WebAssembly. What you will learnBuild web applications with near-native performance using WebAssemblyBecome familiar with how web applications can be used to create games using HTML5 Canvas, WebGL, and SDLBecome well versed with game development concepts such as sprites, animation, particle systems, AI, physics, camera design, sound effects, and shadersDeploy C/C++ applications to the browser using WebAssembly and EmscriptenUnderstand how Emscripten HTML shell templates, JavaScript glue code, and a WebAssembly module interactDebug and performance tune your WebAssembly applicationWho this book is for Web developers and game developers interested in creating applications for the web using WebAssembly. Game developers interested in deploying their games to the web Web developers interested in creating applications that are potentially orders of magnitude faster than their existing JavaScript web apps C/C++ developers interested in using their existing skills to deploy applications to the web

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOther books do cover aspects of making SDL programs, but there is no comprehensive reference other than the documentation that accompanies the API itself. Also, there are add-on libraries (SDL_net, SDL_ttf, SDL_image, and SDL_mixer) for which there is virtually no reference. Within the first ten pages, you will have your system up and running using SDL to create your interactive entertainment application. The author discusses SDL video, audio, joysticks, threads and timers. He explains all of the add-on libraries and then finally, SDL game application.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe biggest challenge facing many game programmers is completing their game. Most game projects fizzle out, overwhelmed by the complexity of their own code. Game Programming Patterns tackles that exact problem. Based on years of experience in shipped AAA titles, this book collects proven patterns to untangle and optimize your game, organized as independent recipes so you can pick just the patterns you need. You will learn how to write a robust game loop, how to organize your entities using components, and take advantage of the CPUs cache to improve your performance. You'll dive deep into how scripting engines encode behavior, how quadtrees and other spatial partitions optimize your engine, and how other classic design patterns can be used in games.
