Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Written to address the programming issues involved in developing quality sound, Game Audio Programming is the first resource for programmers tasked with creating a sound and music system for a game title. Concentrating on actual audio programming, the book starts with basic audio and music playback for Win32/DirectX platforms. From there it progresses to more advanced and specific lessons covering 3D audio, hardware specific extensions, environmental reverberation, algorithms and techniques for preprocessing effects, and more. The companion CD-ROM contains a highly functional audio library of useful code and demos of practical software products. This is the one reference that can be used by professional game programmers needing a comprehensive source for implementing a game's audio and amateur developers interested in cutting-edge industry techniques.
