From the Inside Flap

"If you want to understand the fundamentals of programming concepts that underlie today's games, this book leads the way. It explores such a wide range of algorithms and concepts, it should be required reading for anyone entering the game programming field."

--Alex Dunne, Executive Producer, Gamasutra.com

"...brings together material from a variety of advanced gaming topics into a single well-organized book. Wish I had something like this to refer to when I was starting out."

--Ed Magnin Video Game Designer and Programmer, Magnin & Associates

"College students pursuing a degree in the field of game programming will need this book. In addition, professional programmers who wish to learn more about game-specific topics will greatly benefit from reading this book."

--Wendy Stahler, Professor and Course Director of Game Design and Development, Full Sail Real World Education

"I can't think of any published book on game programming that covers this range of topics."

--Eric Le, 3D Programmer, Ubi Soft Entertainment
