2. Game Technology Development
Goals
Encourage and enable game developers to develop for Intel platforms
Showcase the rapidly-growing capabilities of HD graphics
Methods
A clear, simple, working sample is worth a thousand white papers
Develop samples in a way that mimics real game development, to the extent possible
Real assets, no ‘toy’ datasets

3. Value to Game Developers
C++ source code illustrating a technique
High-quality, game-representative art assets
Built on a common lightweight framework, CPUT
Abstracts asset loading, resource binding, etc
CPUT library ships as source code with each sample
Continues to evolve as new sample targets appear
Liberal open source license

4. Sample Targets Most current samples target Windows* and DirectX*
To date, the vast majority, i.e. ~ 95%.
1 Linux + OpenGL sample published, 2 planned / in-flight
OpenGL ES and Android* are on the radar
Desktop, Ultrabook & Tablet platforms
Primarily rendering technology for desktop & ultrabook
Primarily sensor input technology for mobile
Lots of cross-over
