Simulation and Event Modeling for Game Developers, 1st Edition $59.99 Simulation games are unique. They have action, combat, management, and strategy. By definition a simulation is an imitation. So, computer simulation games are games that imitate a real-life situation. Another way to think about it is that simulation games attempt to recreate a past event. But games don’t always stick to that definition, sometimes they attempt to create a situation that we may someday be faced with. Event modeling is the fundamental activity of examining a real-world event to determine precisely those aspects of the event that can be made the primary objectives of a software development effort. Such modeling is essential to the success of any game development effort, especially if it focuses on simulation. The reason for this is that no simulation program can hope to simulate every aspect of a real-world event. The simulation must be limited in some way, and a technique is at hand, through event modeling, to determine which aspects of the event will render the simulation project effective. |

Video Game Clone $73.28 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A video game clone is a video game or game series which is very similar to or heavily inspired by a previous popular game or game series. Some video game genres are founded by such archetypal games that all subsequent similar games are thought of as derivatives. The term is sometimes derogatory, implying a lack of originality, however clones can be anything from a pure ripoff, to a legitimate derivative or improvement on the original or even a homage. In the early video game industry, making a clone of a game was not illegal, provided that no outright copyright violation or trademark infringement occurred. As the gaming market grew large developers gained the ability to sue the developers of clones which were too similar to originals. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Video Game Publisher $73.28 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A video game publisher is a company that publishes video games that they have either developed internally or have had developed by a video game developer. As with book publishers or publishers of DVD movies, video game publishers are responsible for their products manufacturing and marketing, including market research and all aspects of advertising. They usually finance the development, sometimes by paying a video game developer (the publisher calls this external development) and sometimes by paying an internal staff of developers called a studio. The large video game publishers also distribute the games they publish, while some smaller publishers instead hire distribution companies (or larger video game publishers) to distribute the games they publish.

Narration in the Video Game $114.71 Do video games tell stories? And if they do, how and why do they do so? In this study, Dominic Arsenault takes the reader through the battlefield of ludology and narratology in video game studies, and argues for a radically new narratological conception of the video game. Like a Starcraft Zerg Drone, he extracts ideas from the rich veins of new media and video game studies, along with the latest developments of narratology and French film theory, and morphs them in with his own personal historical insights and gameplay experience with video games and penandpaper roleplaying games. The resulting theoretical approach finds that narration, as a process, is intrinsic to video game playing, independently of the cutscenes usually much touted by the proponents of interactive storytelling. Academics with an interest in video game studies, narratology or new media will find here a novel perspective on a wellresearched subject, while likeminded students and amateur, professional and prospective game developers will also appreciate the quick, efficient and readable introduction to these hot topics.

Physics for Game Developers $33.92 Colliding billiard balls. Missile trajectories. Cornering dynamics in speeding cars. By applying the laws of physics, you can realistically model nearly everything in games that bounces around, flies, rolls, slides, or isn’t sitting still, to create compelling, believable content for computer games, simulations, and animation. "Physics for Game Developers" serves as the starting point for those who want to enrich games with physics-based realism. Part one is a mechanics primer that reviews basic concepts and addresses aspects of rigid body dynamics, including kinematics, force, and kinetics. Part two applies these concepts to specific real-world problems, such as projectiles, boats, airplanes, and cars. Part three introduces real-time simulations and shows how they apply to computer games. Many specific game elements stand to benefit from the use of real physics, including: The trajectory of rockets and missiles, including the effects of fuel burn off The collision of objects such as billiard balls The stability of cars racing around tight curves The dynamics of boats and other waterborne vehicles The flight path of a baseball after being struck by a bat The flight characteristics of airplanes You don’t need to be a physics expert to learn from "Physics for Game Developers," but the author does assume you know basic college-level classical physics. You should also be proficient in trigonometry, vector and matrix math (reference formulas and identities are included in the appendixes), and college-level calculus, including integration and differentiation of explicit functions. Although the thrust of the book involves physics principles and algorithms, itshould be noted that the examples are written in standard C and use Windows API functions. |

Agile Software Development: The Cooperative Game $57.09 "Agile Software Development is a highly stimulating and rich book. The author has a deep background and gives us a tour de force of the emerging agile methods." -Tom Gilb The agile model of software development has taken the world by storm. Now, in "Agile Software Development, Second Edition," one of agile’s leading pioneers updates his Jolt Productivity award-winning book to reflect all that’s been learned about agile development since its original introduction. Alistair Cockburn begins by updating his powerful model of software development as a "cooperative game of invention and communication." Among the new ideas he introduces: harnessing competition without damaging collaboration; learning lessons from lean manufacturing; and balancing strategies for communication. Cockburn also explains how the cooperative game is played in business and on engineering projects, not just software development Next, he systematically illuminates the agile model, shows how it has evolved, and answers the questions developers and project managers ask most often, including – Where does agile development fit in our organization? – How do we blend agile ideas with other ideas? – How do we extend agile ideas more broadly? Cockburn takes on crucial misconceptions that cause agile projects to fail. For example, you’ll learn why encoding project management strategies into fixed processes can lead to ineffective strategy decisions and costly mistakes. You’ll also find a thoughtful discussion of the controversial relationship between agile methods and user experience design. Cockburn turns to the practical challenges of constructing agile methodologies for your own teams. You’ll learn how to tune and continuously reinvent your methodologies, and how to manage incomplete communication. This edition contains important new contributions on these and other topics: – Agile and CMMI – Introducing agile from the top down – Revisiting "custom contracts" – Creating change with "stickers" In addition, Cockburn updates his discussion of the Crystal methodologies, which utilize his "cooperative game" as their central metaphor. If you’re new to agile development, this book will help you succeed the first time out. If you’ve used agile methods before, Cockburn’s techniques will make you even more effective. |
