The 3D Game Programming with C++'s companion CD-ROM contains elements 
specifically selected to enhance the usefulness of this book, 
including:

	encapsulations for DirectDraw, DirectSound and DirectInput, as well as 
	software for physics simulation, artificial intelligence, and advanced 3D 
	optimizations.
