Introduction to 3D Game Engine Design Using DirectX 9 and C#

by Lynn Thomas Harrison

Introduction to 3D Game Engine Design Using DirectX 9 and C# illustrates the process of creating a simple 3D game engine. During this process, author Lynn Harrison demonstrates many facets of the DirectX 9 software through clear-cut explanations and examples. Throughout the course of the book, you'll develop an off-road driving game that brings such features as management of large scenes, environmental effects, and physics into play. To write the game, you'll use cutting-edge technologies—C# and DirectX, and the .NET Framework—and you'll go beyond simple graphics to explore audio, user input, artificial intelligence, and multiplayer design.

.. filled with rather dated listings of elementary 3d game engine code; worth anything if you are looking to get familiar with vocabulary, very basics and happen to see it collecting dust at someones shelf, otherwise skip (albeit I don't know alternative, yet)
