Best on Crystal Space,
By
This review is from: Official Butterfly.net Game Developer's Guide (Wordware Game Developer's Library) (Paperback)
This book now in the bargain bin, is worthwhile at that price if not for ButterflyNet, whose website seems permanently out of action, and for which you have to pay I think anyway, but for it's lucid coverage of the opensource game engine CrystalSpace substantially adding to the official documentation. Half the book is devoted to it, 2D games, 3D games with QuakeModel files loading and incorporation of QT3 GUI using solid object-orientated programming all the way. The rest of the book is worth a skim anyway, indicating the objects and patterning used to enable the connection of CrystalSpace for multiplayer use from a dedicated server.
