Modern Game Development bundle

Modern game development demands more than just clean code. Today's developers need to think about performance, data flow, system design, and the mathematical foundations that power immersive experiences. This curated bundle brings together four practical Manning titles designed to help developers level up their understanding of high-performance game architecture, Unity development, geometry, and data-oriented thinking. Whether you're building large-scale Unity projects, optimizing runtime performance, or exploring the programming patterns behind modern game engines, these books provide hands-on guidance you can apply immediately.

This bundle contains these four eBooks:
  • High Performance Unity Game Development This is in eBook format This title is in MEAP
  • Geometry for Programmers This is in eBook format
  • Data-Oriented Programming This is in eBook format
  • Unity in Action, Third Edition This is in eBook format

High Performance Unity Game Development

High Performance Unity Game Development teaches you to deliver high-performance games, with code that’s simpler to extend and maintain. You’ll learn to design games from scratch using DOD and also how to apply DOD to existing object-oriented codebases. Through a simulated development process—complete with Jira tickets—you’ll construct a complete “survivor” style game that runs at a high framerate on limited hardware while being easy to expand. The book is fully illustrated with Unity architectural examples, diagrams, and engaging war stories from author Nitzan Wilnai’s 20+ year career, punctuated by helpful sidebars that dispel DOD myths.

Geometry for Programmers

Geometry for Programmers is both practical and entertaining. Fun illustrations and engaging examples show you how to apply geometry to real programming problems, like changing a scan into a CAD model or developing 3D printing contours from a parametric function. And don’t worry if you aren’t a math expert. There’s no heavy theory, and you’ll learn how to offload most equations to the SymPy computer algebra system.

Data-Oriented Programming

Data-Oriented Programming teaches you to design software using the groundbreaking data-oriented paradigm. You’ll put DOP into action to design data models for business entities and implement a library management system that manages state without data mutation. The numerous diagrams, intuitive mind maps, and a unique conversational approach all help you get your head around these exciting new ideas. Every chapter has a lightbulb moment that will change the way you think about programming.

Unity in Action, Third Edition

Unity in Action, Third Edition teaches you to create games with the Unity game platform. It’s many 2D, 3D, and AR/VR game examples give you hands-on experience with Unity’s workflow tools and state-of-the-art rendering engine. This fully updated third edition presents new coverage of Unity’s XR toolkit and shows you how you can start building with virtual and augmented reality.
