I have been working on a game idea and would like to start coding. The problem is that I don''t know how to design a game engine. Does anyone know of a good white paper on the subject? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Max

There is a book called ''Real Time Strategy Game Programming using MS DirectX 6.0''

ISBN: 1-55622-644-6

Even if you arn''t making an RTS it shows you the structure of a game engine: entities, AI lots of interesting topics. Its not exactly the best book ever but worth a read I guess...it''s where I learnt most about the structure of engines.
