2 game game gem gem programming programming series

Written by expert game developers who make today's amazing games, these articles not only provide quick solutions to cutting-edge problems, but they provide insights that you'll return to again and again. They'll spark your creativity and inspire your own discoveries. For the past few years, the game industry has been on an incredible journey of exploration and innovation. In conjunction with this journey, the scope of the Game Programming Gems series has broadened as well.

With the variety of new platforms available, coverage has been expanded to include alternative languages and third party APIs. Volume 4 also includes an all new physics section that teaches innovative techniques for implementing real-time physics that will help you create emergent gameplay.

To make searching between all four volumes of the series easy and efficient, we have added a cumulative index. This new volume is a definite must-have resource for every game programmer's library!

There's always going to be new stuff coming out that once it hits mainstream, will get coverage in books like that. Voxel engines, real time raytracing, and so on are probably the topics of a next gen book like that.

You'd have to ask DeLoura to find out if that was an issue for this series. If there ever is a GPG9 I wish it gets priced normally! The only real attempt to answer the question I see here is: "I dunno. Unknown August 14, at PM. Unknown September 23, at AM. Unknown October 6, at PM. Deep Learning April 4, at AM.
