C++ Game Programming Mastery: A Hands-On Guide to Building a Modern 3D Game Engine with OpenGL and C++20
Stop relying on pre-built templates and start building the technology that powers them. C++ Game Programming Mastery provides the technical blueprint for architects who want to understand the inner workings of modern 3D engines using C++20 and OpenGL.
This guide moves systematically through the layers of engine architecture, from memory management and the Entity Component System (ECS) to high-performance rendering and multithreaded physics. You will transition from writing isolated code to designing a cohesive, data-oriented system that maximizes CPU and GPU efficiency.
By following the modular structure, you build a functional 3D engine complete with a professional-grade editor, an asset pipeline, and a robust job system. Whether you are a software engineer looking to specialize in graphics or a developer seeking total control over your game's performance, this book provides the practical code and theoretical clarity required for the task.
What's inside this Book?Modern C++20 Architecture: Utilize concepts, coroutines, and smart memory management to build a stable, high-speed foundation.
Advanced Rendering Techniques: Implement a scalable OpenGL pipeline featuring PBR materials, dynamic lighting, and post-processing effects.
Data-Oriented Design: Master the Entity Component System (ECS) to handle thousands of active entities with minimal cache misses.
Multithreaded Systems: Create a custom Job System to distribute physics, AI, and animation across all available CPU cores.
Professional Tooling: Build an integrated editor using Dear ImGui, complete with 3D transformation gizmos and a virtual file system.
