Beginning Scripting Through Game Creation

Buy
"Beginning Scripting Through Game Creation" teaches basic programming concepts using simple games as examples. The book is an introduction to scripting, focusing on logic, event handling, and application development using HTML and JavaScript, with some discussion of other programming languages. Functions, variables, objects, and events are introduced. The text also covers techniques that will help you become familiar with your audience and work iteratively to produce a finished program. Each chapter begins with an overview of the concepts that will be covered, followed by instructions on how to implement them, and finishing with a summary and review questions so you can practice your new skills. Simple games are used throughout the book to provide challenging but approachable examples that help you maximize your understanding of the concepts and skills being taught. You will learn essential skills that will enable you to build upon the book's projects and make them your own. Real-life examples and tips throughout the book help you think about and apply what you are learning. No prior programming or scripting experience is necessary, so you can get started right away with "Beginning Scripting Through Game Creation"!

Fully-Depleted SOI CMOS Circuits and Technology for Ultralow-Power Applications
Fully-Depleted SOI CMOS Circuits and Technology for Ultralow-Power Applications

The most important issue confronting CMOS technology is the power explosion of chips arising from the scaling law. Fully-depleted (FD) SOI technology provides a promising low-power solution to chip implementation. Ultralow-power VLSIs, which have a power consumption of less than 10 mW, will be key components of terminals in the coming...

Algorithms for VLSI Design Automation
Algorithms for VLSI Design Automation
Modern microprocessors such as Intel's Pentium chip typically contain millions of transitors. Known generically as Very Large-Scale Integrated (VLSI) systems, the chips have a scale and complexity that has necessitated the development of CAD tools to automate their design. This book focuses on the algorithms which are the building blocks of...

Formation Testing: Pressure Transient and Contamination Analysis
Formation Testing: Pressure Transient and Contamination Analysis

Traditional well logging methods, such as  resistivity, acoustic, nuclear and NMR, provide indirect information related to fluid and formation properties.  The “formation tester,” offered in wireline and MWD/LWD operations, is different.  It collects actual downhole fluid samples for surface analysis, and through...
