I was wondering if you are following a book or just making it up as you go along.
Also, is there any decent books on DirectX game programming. As I just finished Beginning c++ through programming, however it finishes about tutorial 20 in your videos. I plan to read Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach as I care more about AI programming, than making games.
But, was wondering about what books you have read?
Is there a book to go with your videos?
Re: Is there a book to go with your videos?
Hi simplicity,
I am also interested in artificial intellience and started writing a program years ago that you could talk to. It was very basic though.
The only real way to get true AI is by creating a neural net that can grow as time goes on.

Doubt all chili knows is packed somewhere in one book. Just saying.

Hi Lux,
I think I found the ultimate Chilli Book. I bet it is packed with programming tips LOL.

Damn, those pictures are making me hungry. Hard to find chili where I live though >_<
There are few books I have read on the topic of programming. Most of what I know is stuff gleaned from reading other people's code (good and bad) and from tutorials and stuff on the internet. A couple of weeks ago I taught myself how to write SSE optimized routines using compiler intrinsics. I never cracked a single book, just used google to find some tutorials and examples and referred to the official documentation on msdn and intel's website.
Here are a couple of books I have read in the past. Some may even be available online for free these days. Note that they may have nothing to do with the tuts. Just stuff I have read.

I might use this old book as a reference when I'm teaching the fundamentals of 3D graphics and the math therefor.

It used to be available online. If you use the wayback machine you could still access it.

Re: Is there a book to go with your videos?
Hey! During the time I was too busy with math camp to actually study programming, I found an interesting book that I feel is perfect for people who just finished learning a language.

I feel that this book explains everything well. Unlike the other tutorials I found, this book doesn't just give code, provide comments, and expect you to understand it like magic. It still requires one to know C++ beforehand, but if you want to learn how to make your own game from scratch, buy (I borrowed) this book after learning the language.
I might be out-of-date with dem tutorials, but I still found something sweet!
