Artwick It gets into very hands-on, non-theoretical discussions of implementing graphics algorithms on small machines, with emphasis on optimizing 3-D animation for speed. What a coincidence that Mr. Artwick wrote Flight Simulator for the IBM, Amiga, Atari, C-64, etc, etc! I found it much easier to go code from his book than from the Foley & Van Dam megabook.
