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

This latest version of DirectX is faster than ever and
supports advanced features like bump mapping, cubic environment
mapping, multitexturing, and more.

and headers you need to write your own DirectX 7 games.

Corporation. trueSpace 4.2 is the hottest 3D tool on the market for
creating realtime 3D game worlds. It supports Microsoft's X file format
and automatic detail reduction, critical features for all game-oriented
development systems.

Create, paint, correct, and retouch textures for your Direct 3D games.

Corporation that can manipulate, modify, convert, and mix all the
sound effects your 3D games need.

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