C++ For Game Programmers

C++ is the primary language used in game development; however, game programming has a unique set of challenges, which general application development techniques and recommendations don't apply to. Written to address this issue, C++ for Game Programmers provides practical suggestions for what C++ features to use in game development and why. Many of the misconceptions of C++ are clarified, and programmers learn the most effective methods for using the language to create games. This is primarily a book about ideas and concepts: it is not just a source of C++ code to use in your game project. Instead, C++ for Game Programmers covers how things work from a game-development perspective, and provides practical rules to follow. It points out the most effective C++ practices and steers developers away from the potentially dangerous ones. It describes common C++ techniques to solve specific problems faced by most developers, and focuses on techniques that have been proven in real games. Additionally, specific new technologies such as STL are covered in detail, along with the challenges specific to different platforms such as PCs or game consoles. The techniques presented apply to all aspects of game programming, including graphics, physics, and AI. C++ for Game Programmers is the perfect resource for game programmers looking to perfect their C++ skills, and experienced programmers interested in entering the game industry. Graphics, embedded systems, and real-time systems programmers facing the same challenges as game programmers will also benefit from the ideas and techniques covered.PARTI TAPPING THE POWER OFC++ 1 CHAPTER 1 INHERITANCE CHAPTER2 MULTIPLE INHERITANCE CHAPTER 3 CONSTNESS, REFERENCES, AND A FEW LOOSE ENDS CHAPTER 4 TEMPLATES CHAPTER 5 EXCEPTION HANDLING PART II PERFORMANCE AND MEMORY 105 CHAPTER 6 PERFORMANCE CHAPTER7 MEMORY ALLOCATION CHAPTER 8 STANDARD TEMPLATE LIBRARY?CONTAINERS CHAPTER 9 STL?ALGORITHMS AND ADVANCED TOPICS PART III SPECIAL TECHNIQUES 249 CHAPTER 10 ABSTRACT INTERFACES CHAPTER 11 PLUG-INS CHAPTER 12 RUNTIME TYPE INFORMATION CHAPTER 13 OBJECT CREATION AND MANAGEMENT CHAPTER 14 OBJECT SERIALIZATION CHAPTER 15 DEALING WITH LARGE PROJECTS CHAPTER 16 CRASH-PROOFING YOUR GAME1584502274 Details   Quantity 500 item(s) available Weight 2.00 lbs Price: $49.95 Options   Quantity 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50  Add to cart
