Wow, thanks for another great upload. I had the prequel to this book where it was about generic 3D programming, and the prequel to that prequel "Teach Yourself Game Programming In 21 Days." These are fun books to read from a historical perspective.

You're totally welcome, @TresHombres. I've had this book, and its companion/sequel, in my library now for 25 years, but I'm well past my "I'm going to make levels for DOOM!" phase of my teenage years. Time to sacrifice 'em to the cause and let other people enjoy a trip down memory lane (and reclaim some much-needed shelf space).

Was the book you had "Tricks of the 3D Game Gurus"? Because I'm pretty sure my brother had that one.

If you can believe it, the one I had was even older than that, although it was the same author (Andre Lamothe.) It was called Tricks Of The Game Gurus (notice the lack of 3D, ha) and was published in 1994. It is funny since it was his first book to cover 3D games but he forgot to put it in the title, haha! The marketing department at Sams must have wised up by the time they got to your brother's book...

Oh, yes! You're right! It was "Tricks of the Game Programming Gurus"! I just looked it up, and that is the one my brother had! He and his friends were convinced they were going to code the next DOOM.

I should see if he still has it. He might be willing to donate it to the cause.

I've had this book for close to 25 years myself. It's so massive, I never thought I'd see a scan of it. Kudos to you!

You're very welcome! I suppose I specialize in the absurd.
