This is an AMAZING book! It amasses information from some of the worlds leading game programmers and describes everything from simple scripting, to Fast Math using Template MetaProgramming, to Neural Nets and other Advanced AI! I'm to much of a noob to use most of this data (in C++ anyway) but the math has helped me tremendously with other programing languages, Some of the concepts can help you in games wheather you use C++ or not! I'd highly recommend it!

getting back on topic, that book sounds quite cool, i've never really understood neural networks so i would be interesting to see if this guy explains it well.
ps. join the forum at www.void-stuff.com
Oh yes! He explains it excelently! They have up to book 5 out but I'd recommend starting w/ the first one, the rest kind of build off it! (I only have one but i've read most of the others, and I may buy another in the next couple a days)
Also, for those of you who want to discuss C++ or show off your code,
GreenMan Games Inc. now has a new Forum!
