To get the most out of this book
- Pay attention to this book not as a tutorial but as many tools being used to develop a 3D game. We’re only going over a few simple examples. Take the logic out as something to apply to your projects as much as possible.
- Be prepared to take your own notes on the topics that are being covered. We ramp up the difficulty in programming quite a bit during the physics portion.
- Ask questions in the Discord, which is attached to the book through a QR code.
