Games, Design and Play Pearson Education

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Games, Design and Play completely demystifies the art of videogame design, by taking a play-focused and process-oriented approach that walks you through every step, and provides a complete toolkit for creating compelling game experiences. Colleen Macklin and John Sharp draw on their pioneering experience teaching game design at Parsons (The New School for Design). Starting from the simple premise that game designs must emphasize play, they show how a game's structure can create a wide array of successful play experiences. In Part I, Macklin and Sharp introduce the key concepts, terminology and principles of game design. They draw examples from many different forms of games, emphasizing independent and less-known games, videogames, board games, card games, sports, and even schoolyard games. Their examples are chosen to be especially relevant to readers who won't immediately have access to multi-million-dollar resources. Step by step, they lay a strong foundation for exploring the broader expressive potential of games, and helping you learn to think like a game designer. Each chapter is accompanied by play and design exercises that help you put its key concepts into action. You'll learn to wield each component of your "play machine": players, goals, rules, objects, actions, playspaces, and more. You'll also gain professional-level insights into multiple play styles and tastes, including competitive, cooperative, chance-based, whimsical, role-based simulation, performative, and expressive play. In Part II, Macklin and Sharp turn to the practice of videogame design, introducing a powerful four-step iterative process: conceptualize, prototype, playtest, evaluate. For each step, Macklin and Sharp illustrate successive loops through this iterative cycle, from idea to finished game. You'll construct the game you've designed using the open source tool "Processing" - designed specifically to help non-programmers write code. You'll also learn how to work collaboratively as a game designer in your larger game development team. This guide's unique approach bridges the gap between creative design processes and the technical side of game development, helping you craft great designs that can actually be transformed into great games!

Learning C# by Programming Games Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co....

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

C sharp is the language of choice for learning how to program. It is a very well structured object-oriented language and avoids some of the problems of Java. An excellent free programming environment is available for C sharp, as well as a game programming framework. And (if necessary) moving from C sharp to C++ is easy. §Developing computer games is a perfect way to learn how to program in modern programming languages. This book teaches how to program in C sharp through the creation of computer games and without requiring any previous programming experience. §Contrary to most programming books, Egges, Fokker and Overmars do not organize the presentation according to programming language constructs, but instead use the structure and elements of computer games as a framework. For instance, there are chapters on dealing with player input, game objects, game worlds, game states, levels, animation, physics, and intelligence. The reader will be guided through the development of four games showing the various aspects of game development. Starting with a simple shooting game, the authors move on to puzzle games consisting of multiple levels, and conclude the book by developing a full-fledged platform game with animation, game physics, and intelligent enemies. They show a number of commonly used techniques in games, such as drawing layers of sprites, rotating, scaling and animating sprites, showing a heads-up display, dealing with physics, handling interaction between game objects, and creating pleasing visual effects such as snow or glitter. At the same time, they provide a thorough introduction to C sharp and object-oriented programming, introducing step by step important aspects of programming in general, including many programming constructs and idioms, syntax diagrams, collections, and exception handling.§The book is also designed to be used as a basis for a game-oriented programming course. Each part concludes with exercises and challenges, which are generally more complex programming endeavors. Lots of supplementary materials for organizing such a course are available on the accompanying web site including installation instructions, solutions to the exercises, software installation instructions, game sprites and sounds.

Victor Bologan: Selected Games 1985-2004: Power Chess at its Best

Szachy > Inne wydawnictwa

Moldovan Grandmaster Victor Bologan is among the world's strongest and most dynamic grandmasters. You are invited to join him on a highly personal, autobiographical journey, as he presents 52 of his games, deeply annotated.  These games are highlighted against a background of his life experiences and development, resulting in one of the most splendid game collections available today. The text and games are nicely complemented by over thirty photographs, and indexes of players, openings, tournament results and even strategic, tactical and psychological techniques. From the Foreword by Garry Kasparov: "This is a book that ought to be read by every chessplayer who is serious about continuing to mature as a player. This book will give you advice, usually from the author's perspective, on how to choose an opening (..) The author talks about the method he used to make his choices, and about the concrete philosophy standing behind each decision (..) In practically every game, one may find general recommendations, 'fine-tuned' to the concrete particulars of each position. I find this sort of advice to be the most valuable, because general advice that is not illustrated by a concrete example loses the greater part of its practical value." Jeremy Silman, author of How to Reassess Your Chess: "One of the best autobiographical game collections ever. His tales are fascinating, the games are sharp and full of beautiful ideas, his notes are top notch, and his desire to share his understanding of chess with the reader is moving and heartfelt." British Champion GM Jacob Aagaard, ChessCafe: "I thoroughly enjoyed the games and the comments (...) The annotations will be possible to follow and enjoy by most chess fans and are, as such, probably more suitable for the avarage chess book reader than the computer printouts of John Nunn's 'Move by Move' books (...) I think this book will do well." Mark Donlan, Chess Horizons:  "Certainly one of the best game collections published in recent years." John Watson, The Week In Chess: "At the end of the majority of games he appends a section called 'Lessons'. Each lesson consists of three tips, often relating to a specific type of position (...) A well-written book with a wealth of ideas and observations that go well beyond the usual game collection." Ray Edwards, British Chess Magazine: "He wants to show the evolution of his chessplaying strength through the influence of his various trainers and how lessons may be learnt from each game and tournament (...) The reader can follow how Bologan became a world-class chess player." Leeuwarder Courant (Netherlands): "Very instructive is that at the end of each game the author finishes his story with a list of conclusions and lessons, to the benefit of all players -- young and old, amateur and professional." Harry Schaack, KARL Magazine: "The didactic explanations show that the author is a chess coach (...) Bologan wants the reader to understand the structure of the position." Andy Ansel, ChessToday: "A pleasure to read (...) A perfect mix of deep variations interwoven with explanatory text. The book is extremely personal in nature (...) I highly recommend this book to all buyers." Jonathan Rowson, New In Chess: "Probably one of the finest games collections ever produced."  Rochade Europa Magazine: "The 52 games are not only analysed extensively, they are always concluded by 'lessons' which pinpoint the most important experiences in each game."

The Art of Bisguier: Selected Games 1961-2003

Szachy > Inne wydawnictwa

Selected as one of the Best Chess Books of 2008 by CHESS Magazine (London) Arthur Bisguier is a living legend in American chess, having met and defeated some of the greatest players in the world. This is a collection of his best games - annotated by Bisguier himself - from 1961 through 2003.  Each game is introduced with an anecdote and brief comment about Art#8217;s opponent and combined with many archival photos, makes this one of the great chess game collections ever.    What sets this book apart from other game collections are the stories that preface each encounter. Bisguier, who has lived American chess history for over 60 years, has always been known as an excellent raconteur and his memory for the clever observation and ability to bring to life Caissa's departed soldiers is second to none.  He quotes the Seattle master Olaf Ulvestad on to the difference between a master and a grandmaster ("A master studies the board, calculates, deliberates and at last makes the correct move. A grandmaster tosses a piece in the air and it lands on the proper square.")  This explanation struck a chord with Bisguier who has always strongly relied on his intuition when selecting a move.   With opening and player indexes and many black and white photographs. Former US Champion GM Lev Alburt: "One of the best game collections I#8217;ve ever seen." Steve Giddins, British Chess Magazine: "The list of opponents includes Bronstein, Tal, Geller, Gligoric, Karpov, Keres, Kortchnoi, Larsen, Petrosian, Smyslov, Spassky. Bisguier's style was predominantly tactical, but he was also a fine endgame player as this book shows. Interestingly, he was a regular player of the 'Berlin Wall' against the Ruy Lopez, long before anybody had heard of Vladimir Kramnik, and this book contains several examples." IM John Donaldson, ChessToday: "What sets this book apart from other game collections are the stories." Alex Dunne, ChessLife: "Exciting and insightful (..) the history of chess, sharp attacking games, and the human side of some of the the strongest chess players in the recent past." John Watson, The Week In Chess: "I'd recommend this book in general, and in particular to anyone with an interest in chess biographies/game collections, as well as those who would enjoy reminders about the bygone players of the American chess scene." FreeChess: "If I were going to spend the next four weeks on a desert island and I could take four of this year's chess books with me, then 'The Art of Bisguier' would certainly be one of them." Sean Marsh, CHESS Magazine: "A number of excellent photographs augment a fine work (..) This is an excellent book"
