Описание: Part I: Fundamental Concepts The first part of the book explains basic material that will be needed throughout the rest of the book: rendering graphics and animations, processing user input (continuous and discrete), basic physics (movement and collision detection), displaying text, and playing audio (sound effects and background music). 1. Getting started with Java and LibGDX This chapter explains how to set up a Java development environment (BlueJ), which is chosen for simplicity and user-friendliness. The standard first program (which prints "Hello, World!" to the text console) is given. Next, instructions for setting up the LibGDX library are given, and a visual "Hello, World!" program is demonstrated (which displays an image of the world in a window). Finally, the benefits of using LibGDX for game development are explained in some detail. 1.1 Choosing a development environment 1.2 Setting up BlueJ 1.3 A "Hello World" program 1.4 Advantages to using LibGDX 2. The LibGDX Framework This chapter presents the minimal code needed to create a basic game: rendering textures, detecting user input, and collision detection. The game Starfish Collector is introduced, which will be a recurring example throughout the book: features will be added on when introducing new topics (in chapters 3, 5, 6, 10, and 13). 2.1 Understanding the Life Cycle of a Game 2.2 Managing the Action (actors and stages, screens and games) 2.3 The Basics: Graphics, User Input, and Collisions2.4 Game Project: Starfish Collector 3. Extending the Framework The LibGDX framework simplifies many elementary tasks required in game development, while providing users a variety of ways to extend their framework to facilitate creation of different types of games. This chapter creates a series of classes (BaseActor, BaseScreen, BaseGame) which extend core LibGDX classes, which will streamline the games created in the following chapters. The new classes are used in refactoring the Starfish Collector game from the previous chapter. 3.1 Extending the Actor class 3.2 Animations 3.2.1 Value-based Animations 3.2.2 Image-based Animations 3.3 Physics and Movement 3.4 Polygons and Collisions 3.5 Lists of Actors 4. Shoot-em-up games To demonstrate the convenience and flexibility of the extended classes created in the previous chapter, this chapter uses the new base classes to create a game called Space Rocks, inspired by the classic arcade game Asteroids. New concepts introduced in this chapter include a new style of movement (relative to the character perspective, rather than the player perspective), spawning new objects, attaching objects to other objects, and adversaries that target the main character. 4.1 Game Project: Space Rocks4.2 Spaceship Setup4.3 Lasers, Rocks, and Explosions 4.4 Endgame Conditions 4.5 Extra Features: Shields and Enemies 5. Text and User Interfaces This chapter introduces classes that are used to generate image-based fonts and display text using labels, enabling the developer to show the player important game related information (such as score, time left, health points, item counts) and menus containing instructions. The creation of buttons (to change screens or start/pause/quit the game) is also explained. Tables are introduced to automatically manage the layout of these elements. The creation of signpost-like objects is discussed, which can serve as an in-game tutorial or

Game Development and Simulation with Unreal Technology explores the use of Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) for the development of real-time digital interactive contents to be used in computerized games or simulations. The engine is considered in three main iterations: from the basic use of the engine to build games and simulation content out of the box, to intermediate design of interactive content by building on the pre-supplied contents from the base engine, and through advanced implementations geared toward a comprehensive understanding of the power of the Unreal Engine.
This is one of the first books on developing interactive content for games, entertainment, and simulation to cover the newly released UE4. Industry-level game concepts in level design, coding, and programming, networking, and multiplayer concepts are covered. The book presents beginner- through advanced-level concepts in designing and developing games with the Unreal Engine 4. It includes small/mid-scale projects developed as concept examples throughout the book, which can be used in more comprehensive and entertaining interactive computer simulations and games. The book is organized into three parts. Part 1 covers the basics of the unreal engine, including an overview of each subcomponent of the engine, an overview of the UE4 project templates, and the main features each provides. Part 2 delves into more advanced topics in the new UE4 material pipeline, including layered materials and different shading models. Part 3 walks you through the steps of building your own games with UE4. It also provides advanced coverage of Blueprint systems in UE4. Each chapter includes do-it-yourself extensions to the concept modules presented to solidify your understanding of the concepts and techniques. Exercises and summaries are also included at the end of each chapter to help take your understanding of Unreal Engine 4 to the next level.
