C++ for Game Programmers
by Noel Llopis
Published April 2003
Average Rating: **** 1/2 [6 reviews]
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.
