Is it possible to install PlatformSDK on WIndowsXP Home Edition ? The web install on microsofts website doesn't seem to work. Is it only for WindowsXP Pro. ? I want to use DirectShow + VMR9. I have the Dec2005 version of DirectX but I guess it doesn't have DirectShow in it. Is there an alternative ?

Game Engine Architecture

Amazon · Book

In this new and improved third edition of the highly popular Game Engine Architecture, Jason Gregory draws on his nearly two decades of experience at Midway, Electronic Arts and Naughty Dog to present both the theory and practice of game engine software development. In this book, the broad range of technologies and techniques used by AAA game studios are each explained in detail, and their roles within a real industrial-strength game engine are illustrated.
