Life is Strange: Welcome to Caledon University

In this new and improved fourth edition of the highly popular Game Engine Architecture, Jason Gregory draws on his 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.The fourth edition offers the same comprehensive coverage of game engine architecture provided by previous editions, and this first volume covers essential concepts, techniques, tools, and the engine systems that form the core of every game engine.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<ul> <li>Covers both the theory and practice of game engine software development</li> <li>Examples are grounded in specific technologies, but discussion extends beyond any particular engine or API</li> <li>Includes all mathematical background needed</li> <li>Comprehensive text for beginners and also has content for senior engineers</li> </ul>

An engrossing origin story for the personal computer--showing how the Apple II's software helped a machine transcend from hobbyists' plaything to essential home appliance. Skip the iPhone, the iPod, and the Macintosh. If you want to understand how Apple Inc. became an industry behemoth, look no further than the 1977 Apple II. Designed by the brilliant engineer Steve Wozniak and hustled into the marketplace by his Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, the Apple II became one of the most prominent personal computers of this dawning industry. The Apple II was a versatile piece of hardware, but its most compelling story isn't found in the feat of its engineering, the personalities of Apple's founders, or the way it set the stage for the company's multibillion-dollar future. Instead, historian Laine Nooney shows, what made the Apple II iconic was its software. In software, we discover the material reasons people bought computers. Not to hack, but to play. Not to code, but to calculate. Not to program, but to print. The story of personal computing in the United States is not about the evolution of hackers--it's about the rise of everyday users. Recounting a constellation of software creation stories, Nooney offers a new understanding of how the hobbyists' microcomputers of the 1970s became the personal computer we know today. From iconic software products like VisiCalc and The Print Shop to historic games like Mystery House and Snooper Troops to long-forgotten disk-cracking utilities, The Apple II Age offers an unprecedented look at the people, the industry, and the money that built the microcomputing milieu--and why so much of it converged around the pioneering Apple II.

The Video Games Textbook

Emerging Insights into Esports

This book expands upon ongoing discussions on gaming culture and experiences linked to identity to answer questions often overlooked in existing discourse relating to the expression of identity and the image of the stereotypical gamer in the popular imaginary. Video games are an increasingly popular form of entertainment. Christine Tomlinson explores questions surrounding how, when, and where it is deemed acceptable in gaming culture to broach the topic of identity, and why these expressions, explorations, and discussions are acceptable in some spaces while remaining taboo in others. In this book, Tomlinson shows how groups that have been marginalized in broader gaming culture approach the barriers present for video game players, staking their claims and developing new identities and ways of being "gamers." Tomlinson posits that video game culture, including gaming spaces and streaming platforms, tends to be cloistered and closed off to those who do not appear to align with the assumed or stereotypical demographics of gamers. Despite this, many groups that are excluded from this image make up a significant portion of actual gaming audiences. Given this dichotomy, Tomlinson observes how players that have been marginalized based on sexuality and gender have formed their own communities that produce unique and shared gaming identities that also produce new forms of gaming culture as an act of resistance and resilience. Although these alternative communities should not be necessary, this book details the experiences of marginalized groups as they navigate gaming culture and reclaim a position within an often hostile environment, delving into unexpected obstacles and converging of identity within slowly-changing industry and content landscape. Following gay, lesbian, women, and transgender players, the author argues that gaming culture - rather than existing as a monolith - has given way to numerous forms of gaming culture, from game-specific communities to identity-specific spaces to provide these marginalized players outlets for discussion, community, and establishing new gaming cultures and identities.

Sonic the Hedgehog: The Official Coloring Adventure

Why and how Atari’s first video game Pong established an industry that shapes consumers’ relationships to technology to this day. Pong is one of the longest, most consistently circulating video games. Released in 1972, it remains at our fingertips as an app from Google Play or Apple App Store, hosted at freepong.org and the Internet Archive, and even released as A Tiny Game of Pong for the Apple Watch. Despite its simplicity and ubiquity, Atari’s Pong encapsulates far more than the history of a video game and iconic game company. King Pong is the first book dedicated to an unassuming game that changed the world. Through the prisms of product positioning, market development, and category creation, Raiford Guins answers the question of why Atari’s inaugural product succeeded and why it endures.&nbsp; Author of Game After and Atari Design, and an excavator of the “Atari landfill” in New Mexico, Guins brings us a unique history that reconsiders the launch of Atari’s Pong from the perspective of the company’s business practices.&nbsp;He&nbsp;follows&nbsp;the young Silicon Valley startup&nbsp;from its early days first&nbsp;positioning&nbsp;its new product within the existing coin-op amusement industry&nbsp;to its&nbsp;establishment of&nbsp;a consumer industry for home video games—a story&nbsp;of&nbsp;remarkable&nbsp;market development innovation. Written with a passion for video games and a historian’s insight, the book animates the business exploits of one of the fastest growing and most influential companies ever.
