Game and Graphics Programming for iOS and Android with OpenGL ES 2.0

Learn how to build games with stunning graphics

Striking the ideal balance between aesthetics and functionality to create a state-of-the-art game is no small feat. That’s where this book comes in. If you have a decent C/C++ programming background and a basic understanding of computer graphics, you’ll find that this invaluable resource includes everything you need to know in order to make quick work of creating a full-fledged game. Successful game engine developer Romain Marucchi-Foino covers all aspects of creating a game, such as loading complex geometries and textures; handling GLSL materials, sounds, cameras, and clippings; physics; pathfinding and AI; post-processing effects; real-time lighting and shadowing; working with skeletal animations; and much more. Before you know it, you’ll be able to apply the knowledge you’ve gained from this book to create your own sophisticated game.
