The Steam distribution service and the Microsoft Windows operating system are the two dominating software for a computer gaming system. The ever-growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the development in the field of computer games in recent times. This book is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important field of technology. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, it targets students and professionals.
