The smart phone app market is progressively growing, and there is new market gap to fill that requires more graphically sophisticated applications and games. Leading you through the development of a real-world mobile app with live code, this text lets you work with all the best features and tools that Open GL ES 2. Now that your development environment is set up, you'll learn to draw using simple shaders as well as make the shader more adaptable and reusable.
Then we move on to more advanced topics like texturing your objects with images and transforming your objects using translate, rotate and scale. With these concepts covered, we'll move on to topics like lighting to enable you to incorporate amazing dynamic lights in your game world.
By the end of the book, you'll learn about model loading, right from setting up ASSIMP to learning about the model class and loading a model in your game environment.
We will conclude by understanding cube mapping to bring advance worlds to your game. What you will learn Set up GLFW and GLEW on Windows and macOS with absolute, relative Linking Set up SDL and SFML on your system using absolute and relative Linking Draw using the simple shaders Create a camera and learn to populate your game world with objects Learn about color and lighting concepts to create an amazing game world Understand model loading and cube mapping to advance your game Who this book is for This book is targeted towards anyone and everyone who is interested in creating games, learning how game engines work and most importantly for anyone who is interested in learning OpenGL.
The ideal reader for this book would be anyone with a passion for learning game development or looking out for an OpenGL reference guide. The skills that you'll learn in this book will be applicable to all your game development needs. OpenGL opens the door to the world of high-quality, high-performance 3D computer graphics. The preferred application programming interface for developing 3D applications, OpenGL is widely used in video game development, visualization and simulation, CAD, virtual reality, modeling, and computer-generated animation.
Written in an engaging, easy-to-follow style, this book makes it easy to find the information you're looking for. You'll quickly learn the essential and most-often-used features of OpenGL 2. Topics include Drawing and rendering geometric data such as points, lines, and polygons Controlling color and lighting to create elegant graphics Creating and orienting views Increasing image realism with texture mapping and shadows Improving rendering performance Preserving graphics integrity across platforms A companion Web site includes complete source code examples, color versions of special effects described in the book, and additional resources.
Welcome to the world of 3D terrain programming. Now you can break away from the computer game mold of lackluster backgrounds and create amazing landscapes for your characters to explore. Focus On 3D Terrain Programming gives you the skills you need to do just that.
This book brings the high-talking, abstract concepts down to earth so you can actually put them into practice. It covers the three most widely accepted terrain rendering solutionsgeomipmapping, quad trees, and ROAM. Texture mapping and lighting techniques are also discussed, as well as cool special effects. Plus, the author provides the code so you can readily implement the solutions into your own games! Author : V. It is appropriate both for computer science graphics courses and for professionals interested in mastering 3D graphics skills.
Every shader stage is explored, from the basics of modeling, textures, lighting, shadows, etc. Learn OpenGL will teach you the basics, the intermediate, and tons of advanced knowledge, using modern core-profile OpenGL. The aim of this book is to show you all there is to modern OpenGL in an easy-to-understand fashion, with clear examples and step-by-step instructions, while also providing a useful reference for later studies.
Beginning Android 4 Games Development offers everything you need to join the ranks of successful Android game developers. You'll start with game design fundamentals and programming basics, and then progress toward creating your own basic game engine and playable game that works on Android 4. This will give you everything you need to branch out and write your own Android games. The potential user base and the wide array of available high-performance devices makes Android an attractive target for aspiring game developers.
Do you have an awesome idea for the next break-through mobile gaming title? Beginning Android 4 Games Development will help you kick-start your project. The book will guide you through the process of making several example games for the Android platform, and involves a wide range of topics: The fundamentals of Android game development targeting Android 1.
These games are an addictive frantic two-button tapper, a multi-level zombie survival shooter, and a split-screen multiplayer puzzle-platformer. While building these games, you will also learn exciting game programming concepts like particle effects, directional sound spatialization , OpenGL programmable Shaders, spawning thousands of objects, and more.
Author : Richard S. Wright Jr. The best all-around introduction to OpenGL for developers at all levels of experience, it clearly explains both the API and essential associated programming concepts. Readers will find up-to-date, hands-on guidance on all facets of modern OpenGL development, including transformations, texture mapping, shaders, advanced buffers, geometry management, and much more.
The Library enables programmers to gain a practical understanding of OpenGL and shows them how to unlock its full potential. Explains how to build a scrolling game engine, play sound effects, manage compressed audio streams, build multiplayer games, construct installation scripts, and distribute games to the Linux community.
