Advanced 3-D Game Programming Using DirectX 7.0
This latest addition to the Wordware Game Developer's Library describes how to create computer games with cutting-edge 3-D algorithms and effects. "Advanced 3-D Game Programming Using DirectX 7.0" is intended specifically for those who know how to program with C++ but have not yet explored game or graphics programming. The authors include coverage of artificial intelligence, client-server networking using UDP, multi-texture effects, multi-resolution surface techniques, alpha blending, and more. Along with several sample applications that target specific algorithms, full source code is provided for a client-server networked 3-D first-person game that demonstrates many of the techniques discussed in the book, while giving the reader the opportunity to make their own additions. The CD includes: Full source code in C++, including a complete game demonstrating techniques covered in the bookMicrosoft's DirectX 7a SDKSource code to other 3-D engines, including Quake, GL Quake, Quakeworld, Descent 1, Descent 2, Golgotha, and Crystal SpaceSelect articles on advanced gaming topics contributed by members of the graphics and game programming industryPaint Shop Pro evaluation edition for making texturesAdrian Perez, also known as [Cuban] in the computer game industry, has worked on the Direct3D team at Microsoft and in the graphics department at Lucent. He is a computer science major at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, and a contributor to Game Developer magazine. Dan Royer is a developer at 3D Ion, a 3-D graphics company in Israel, and a contributor to flipcode.com, an online game programming news site.
Introduction to 3D Game Programming with DirectX 9.0c: A Shader Approach

Introduction to 3D Game Programming with DirectX 9.0c: A Shader Approach presents an introduction to programming interactive computer graphics, with an emphasis on game development, using real-time shaders with DirectX 9.0. The book is divided into three parts that explain basic mathematical and 3D concepts, show how to describe 3D worlds and implement fundamental 3D rendering techniques, and demonstrate the application of Direct3D to create a variety of special effects. With this book understand basic mathematical tools used in video game creation such as vectors, matrices, and transformations; discover how to describe and draw interactive 3D scenes using Direct3D and the D3DX library; learn how to implement lighting, texture mapping, alpha blending, and stenciling using shaders and the high-level shading language (HLSL); explore a variety of techniques for creating special effects, including vertex blending, character animation, terrain rendering, multi-texturing, particle systems, reflections, shadows, and normal mapping;f ind out how to work with meshes, load and render .X files, program terrain/camera collision detection, and implement 3D object picking; review key ideas, gain programming experience, and explore new topics with the end-of-chapter exercises.
