I love you all. I’d also like to thank Kevin, my partner and collaborator, without whom I never would have done this.I can’t imagine finding a better teammate. Big thanks to everyone at Premier Press/Course Technology.You’re a great group of peo- ple to work with,and I genuinely appreciate the confidence you place in me. Ben Woodhouse deserves special mention for his efforts as technical editor.He provided valuable feedback that helped make this book much better than it would have been oth- erwise.Thanks also to The Mighty Pete for allowing us to use his skybox images in many of the example programs,and to Jeff Royle from ATI Technologies for providing us with graphics hardware for testing purposes. Finally, I want to thank everyone who has taught me in some way, including Chuck Hansen,Robert Kessler and my other professors at the University of Utah,my coworkers at Avalanche Software and Qualcomm, the denizens of the GameDev.net forums, and everyone else who has taken the time to share their knowledge and experience via a Web site or book. —Dave Astle vi TLFeBOOK 00 BOGL_GP FM 3/1/04 2:14 PM Page vii Acknowledgments vii I’d like to thank Dave,for his work as a good teammate,motivator,and friend.Chances are you would not be holding this book in your hands if he had not used a little friendly coercion on me.I’m amazed at what we were able to accomplish with this project,and a good deal of its success is due to our ability to work together as a team. I also want to thank my family for their constant support for me in everything I do. Oftentimes they don’t get as much credit as they should be getting. Myfriends and coworkers also deserve a share ofthe thanks.Whether they know it or not, I’ve learned from all ofthem in some form or another and value their friendships:Tucker, Tom, Christie, Mike, Rael, Kristin,Vivian, JP,Andy, Greg R., Greg S., Bill, Kyle, Randall, Jordan,Hack,Justin,Nate,Luke M.,Mike M.,Johnny Y.,Nick M.,and so many others that wedon’t have the space for here.Also,thank you to the Premier Press group for the oppor- tunity to do this project and for maintaining a high degree of support and confidence in both Dave and me,and in GameDev.net. And finally, I want to thank everyone who has provided me with the ability and talent, directly or indirectly,that has allowed me to create this book,including the professors at Embry-Riddle,my baseball coaches and teammates,Chris Hargrove,Seth Robinson,Jeff Molofee,Rich Benson,and a host of software engineering colleagues. —Kevin Hawkins TLFeBOOK 00 BOGL_GP FM 3/1/04 2:14 PM Page viii About the Authors DAVE ASTLE has been programming games professionally for several years, working on titles for the Xbox,PlayStation 2,GameCube,PC,and various wireless devices.Currently, he is a lead engineer in the Gaming and Graphics group at Qualcomm, Inc.
