A much needed compendium of the core techniques and algorithms used to code computer and video games.

Focused on time-tested coding techniques and algorithms rather than trendy methods or a single API (Application Programming Interface).
Code samples use C++, and the OpenGL and DirectX APIs.
Covers crucial game programming topics such as code design, data structures, design patterns, AI, scripting engines, network programming, 2D programming, 3D pipelines, texture mapping, and more.
