Cross-Platform Game Programming with gameplay3d/Links to other useful resources

gameplay3d The official gameplay3d website (which has links to a wiki, API reference, forums and the github repository) can be found at: http://www.gameplay3d.org/ For a very useful talk by the creators of gameplay3d, which covers many of gameplay3d's architectural design choices, go to: http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1018088/Developing-Cross-Platform-Mobile-Games 3D graphics Udacity has an excellent course on "Interactive 3D Graphics" at: https://www.udacity.com/course/cs291 OpenGL/GLSL For an introduction to modern (i.e. shader-based rather than fixed-pipeline) OpenGL, try: SIGGRAPH University : "An Introduction to OpenGL Programming" Learning Modern 3D Graphics Programming Tutorials for modern OpenGL (3.3+) http://open.gl/ You can experiment with GLSL fragment shaders (and learn a few tricks from the experts) at: https://www.shadertoy.com/ https://glsl.heroku.com/ Do note, however, that many of the techniques used in these shaders are too computationally expensive for real-time use in games. Nevertheless, they can be useful for getting to grips with the GLSL language. C++ A thorough and easy-to-follow C++ tutorial can be found at: http://www.learncpp.com/ Lua The "Getting Started" page on the official Lua website can be found at: http://www.lua.org/start.html For a very brief introduction, try: http://tylerneylon.com/a/learn-lua/ 3D models http://archive3d.net - 15,000+ free models from archive 3d http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ - Google's 3d warehouse repository https://www.yobi3d.com - 3D model search engine with previews in 3D http://free3dbase.com/ - furniture models without registering http://artist-3d.com/ - wide variety of free models http://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/ - all kinds of free models from the space program http://www.3dm3.com/modelsbank/ - around 300 free models
