So 2017 will be my year of “doing the work,” a line I learned from Steven Pressfield in his excellent book named, unsurprisingly, “Do the Work.” I’ve spent literally years reading about 3D math and physics and, outside of a few small demos I’ve experimented with and never released,
Beginning Math and Physics for Game Programmers by Wendy Stahler is the kind of book I like. The title is straight-forward, and the content actually delivers what it claims. I’ve read a number of game development math books but I find that many of them expect a college
I’ve always been a big fan of Eric Lengyel, from both his work on the C4 Engine (and now the new Tombstone Engine) and his previous math book, Mathematics for 3D Game Programming and Computer Graphics, which is on it’s 3rd edition and is one of the definitive texts in
This book was quite an interesting read. Though a book of math and physics sounds like it would be boring, I found the text to be pretty engaging. At 688 pages, it’s not the longest technical resource, but the authors manage to pack a good deal in those
Game Programming Algorithms and Techniques is one of those books that tries to be as general as possible, and I believe the author was successful in that. Too many books target one specific piece of software or even one particular version of a framework and end up becoming
