Game Physics Engine Development (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Interactive 3D Technology)



Ian Millington, "Game Physics Engine Development (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Interactive 3D Technology)"
Morgan Kaufmann | ISBN 012369471X | March 7, 2007 | 456 Pages | PDF | 3.3MB

Simulating physics helps cutting-edge games distinguish themselves by making virtual objects behave as we expect them to in the real world. Physics engines are the software programs that run these simulations. Building an engine is difficult, however. There are a large number of new developers (and hobbyists) coming into this market who need help through this complex process. Current introductory books are inadequate; they don't bring enough real-world programming experience to the task. There is a need for an introductory book on game physics with solid coding guidance but which limits the math content. Ian Millington brings his extensive professional programming experience to this problem. He has developed games since 1987, has studied AI and mathematics at the PhD level, and founded Mindlathe Ltd., a company that designed and built commercial physics engines. Physics Engine Development carefully describes each step in the creation of a robust, usable physics engine. It introduces the mathematical concepts in a clear and simple manner, keeping to high school level topics and building a physics code library as it goes. Each new concept is explained in diagrams and code to make sure that even the most novice of game programmers understands. The companion CD-ROM includes the source code for a complete physics engine of commercial quality.

Introduction to Probability with Statistical Applications



Geza Schay, Introduction to Probability with Statistical Applications
Birkhäuser Boston | ISBN10: 0817644970 | August 2007 | 328 pages | PDF | 2 MB

This textbook is an introduction to probability and statistics for non-mathematics majors who do not need the exhaustive detail and mathematical depth provided in more comprehensive treatments of the subject. The presentation covers the mathematical laws of random phenomena, including discrete and continuous random variables, expectation and variance, and common probability distributions such as the binomial, Poisson, and normal distributions. Main statistical concepts considered are point and interval estimates, hypothesis testing, power function, various statistical tests: z, t, chi-square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov.

Key features:

* Presents rigorous discussion, with definitions, theorems, and proofs, but aimed at a non-specialist audience;

*Avoids linear algebra;

* Treats informally the few unavoidable concepts from multivariable calculus, such as double integrals;

* Motivates new concepts throughout using examples and brief conceptual discussions;

* Develops basic ideas with clear definitions, carefully designed notation and techniques of statistical analysis, along with well-chosen examples, exercises and applications.

The book contains enough material for two semesters but, with judicious selection, it can also be used for a one-semester course, either in probability and statistics or in probability alone. .Advanced undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, engineering, and other natural and social sciences with only a basic background in calculus will benefit from this introductory text balancing theory with applications.

Developing for the Internet with Winsock: Everything You Need to Master the Art of Creating Windows Internet Software by Dave Roberts
Publisher: Coriolis Group Books; Pap/Cdr edition (September 8, 1995) | Language: English | ISBN-10: 188357742X | 640 pages | html | 2.99MB

It’s a fact: network programming is a complex task. Don’t undertake it alone! The following books and references can help you out. Comer, Douglas E. and David L. Stevens, Internetworking with TCP/IP, Volumes I through III, Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-468505-9. This is a great set of books for learning the details about TCP/IP. Volume I is a great introduction to TCP/IP. Volume II develops a complete TCP/IP implementation. Volume III presents network programming using the BSD Sockets API.

Stevens, W. Richard, and Gary R. Wright, TCP/IP Illustrated, Volumes 1 and 2, Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-63346-9 (vol 1), ISBN 0-201-63354-X (vol 2). Volume 1 describes the TCP/IP protocol suite. Volume 2 examines the source code to the BSD Unix TCP/IP implementation.

Hafner, Katie and Matthew Lyon, Where the Wizards Stay Up Late: A History of the Internet, Simon & Schuster, to be published, 1996. This is shaping up as a great source for those interested in the origins of the Internet and the people who made it happen. Look for it in 1996.

ARPANET, the Defense Data Network, and Internet,from The Froehlich/Kent Encyclopedia of Telecommunications, Volume 1, Froehlich, Fritz E., Ph.D. editor-in-chief, Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1991. This contains a fairly thorough history of the Internet from the ARPANET beginnings through the conversion to TCP/IP and the development of NSFnet.

Windows NT-2000 Native API Reference by Gary Nebbett


Windows NT-2000 Native API Reference

Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference by Gary Nebbett
Publisher: Sams; 1st edition (February 15, 2000) | Language: English | ISBN:1578701996 | 528 pages

Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference is absolutely unique. Currently, documentation on WIndows NT's native APIs can only be found through access to the source code or occasionally Web sites where people have chosen to share bits of insight gained through reverse engineering. This book provides the first complete reference to the API functions native to Windows NT and covers the set of services that are offered by Windows NT to both kernel- and user-mode programs. Ideal for the intermediate and advanced level user- and kernel-mode developers of Windows systems, this books is devoted to the NT native API and consists of documentation of the 210 routines included in the API. Also included are all the functions added in Windows 2000.

Under the hood, how does Windows 2000 really work? Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference provides a thorough listing of all available internal or "native" API calls, many of them undocumented. For any advanced C/C++ programmer who writes Win32 device drivers or system utilities, this is an indispensable resource to some truly impossible-to-find information.

The book first explains what native APIs are and what they are good for. Native APIs (which all begin with the "Nt" or "Zw" prefixes) run closer to the operating system (in kernel mode), so they are perfect for those who write device drivers, debuggers, profilers, or other system utilities.

This book lists several hundred native APIs, the C structures they use, and the Win32 calls that invoke them. As a reference, this text is a model of clarity, with each function clearly documented and explained. APIs are grouped by functionality, from finding system information to processes and threads, memory management, file I/O, and other categories. One standout here is the sample code that polls the system for low-level information, which mimics developer utilities that let you view process and thread information. Other short examples include techniques for accessing debugging, profiling, and exception information.

For programmers who write device drivers, this title also includes the plug-and-play and power management APIs used by today's Windows. Interesting appendices include a guide to the way the Win32 NTFS file system organizes data on disks, along with sample code to access--and even decompress--this information.

bash Cookbook: Solutions and Examples for bash Users




bash Cookbook: Solutions and Examples for bash Users | Carl Albing, JP Vossen, Cameron Newham
ISBN: 0596526784 | May 24, 2007 | PDF | 622 pages | 1.86 Mb


The key to mastering any Unix system, especially Linux and Mac OS X, is a thorough knowledge of shell scripting. Scripting is a way to harness and customize the power of any Unix system, and it's an essential skill for any Unix users, including system administrators and professional OS X developers. But beneath this simple promise lies a treacherous ocean of variations in Unix commands and standards.

bash Cookbook teaches shell scripting the way Unix masters practice the craft. It presents a variety of recipes and tricks for all levels of shell programmers so that anyone can become a proficient user of the most common Unix shell -- the bash shell -- and cygwin or other popular Unix emulation packages. Packed full of useful scripts, along with examples that explain how to create better scripts, this new cookbook gives professionals and power users everything they need to automate routine tasks and enable them to truly manage their systems -- rather than have their systems manage them.
