OpenGL® Game Programming teaches you how to use OpenGL to create dynamic 3D environments and effects for use in game development. Beginning with the histories of OpenGL and Microsoft® DirectX®, programming essentials for Microsoft Windows®, and 3D theory, youll quickly move on to lessons on the functionality of OpenGL. Most of the chapters include demo programs that will allow you to see OpenGL in action. Youll then learn how to pull together OpenGL, Microsoft DirectSound®, and Microsoft DirectInput® to create your own games!
