Game Engine Architecture Third Edition

Game Engine Architecture Third Edition

In this new and improved third edition of the highly popular Game Engine Architecture Jason Gregory draws on his nearly two decades of experience at Midway Electronic Arts and Naughty Dog to present both the theory and practice of game engine software development. In this book the broad range of technologies and techniques used by AAA game studios are each explained in detail and their roles within a real industrial-strength game engine are illustrated. New to the Third Edition This third edition offers the same comprehensive coverage of game engine architecture provided by previous editions along with updated coverage of: computer and CPU hardware and memory caches compiler optimizations C++ language standardization the IEEE-754 floating-point representation 2D user interfaces plus an entirely new chapter on hardware parallelism and concurrent programming. This book is intended to serve as an introductory text but it also offers the experienced game programmer a useful perspective on aspects of game development technology with which they may not have deep experience. As always copious references and citations are provided in this edition making it an excellent jumping off point for those who wish to dig deeper into any particular aspect of the game development process. Key Features Covers both the theory and practice of game engine software development Examples are grounded in specific technologies but discussion extends beyond any particular engine or API. Includes all mathematical background needed. Comprehensive text for beginners and also has content for senior engineers. | Game Engine Architecture Third Edition

Six Simple Twists The Pleat Pattern Approach to Origami Tessellation Design

Six Simple Twists The Pleat Pattern Approach to Origami Tessellation Design

This new edition of Six Simple Twists: The Pleat Pattern Approach to Origami Tessellation Design introduces an innovative pleat pattern technique for origami designs that is easily accessible to anyone who enjoys the geometry of paper. The book begins with six basic forms meant to ease the reader into the style and then systematically scaffolds the instructions to build a strong understanding of the techniques leading to instructions on a limitless number of patterns. It then describes a process of designing additional building blocks. At the end what emerges is a fascinating artform that will enrich folders for many years. Unlike standard project-based origami books Six Simple Twists focuses on how to design rather than construct. In this thoroughly updated second edition the book explores new techniques and example tessellations with full-page images and mathematical analysis of the patterns. A reader will through practice gain the ability to create still more complex and fascinating designs. Key Features Introduces the reader to origami tessellations and demonstrates their place in the origami community New layout and instructional approach restructure the book from the ground up Addresses common tessellation questions such as what types of paper are best to use and how this artform rose in popularity Teaches the reader how to grid a sheet of paper and the importance of the pre-creases Gives the reader the ability to create and understand tessellations through scaffolded instruction Includes exercises to test understanding Introduces a new notation system for precisely describing pleat intersections Analyzes pleat intersections mathematically using geometrically-focused models including information about Brocard points | Six Simple Twists The Pleat Pattern Approach to Origami Tessellation Design
