Building a 3D Game Engine in C++

This guide shows programmers how to write a 3D game engine from scratch by providing all of the technical information and programming code necessary. The author focuses on creating a game engine that the programmer can then customize to produce a variety of 3D games. Topics range from creating 2D and 3D graphics, to programming specific input devices (like a mouse or joystick), and using artificial intelligence algorithms to make intelligent monsters for the game. The software included with this package contains a C++ library of programming commands that greatly simplifies the programming of 3D games. The disk also has source code from the book, and a working game engine built with the techniques described in the book.
