  • Dr. C#: a Pedagogic IDE for C# Featuring a Read-Eval-Print-Loop by Dennis Lu
    RICE UNIVERSITY Dr. C#: A Pedagogic IDE for C# Featuring a Read-Eval-Print-Loop by Dennis Lu ATHESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE Master of Science APPROVED,THESIS COMMITTEE: Robert Cartwright, Chair Professor of Computer Science Joe Warren Professor of Computer Science Dan Wallach Assistant Professor of Computer Science Dung X. Nguyen Lecturer, Computer Science Houston, Texas April, 2003 Dr. C#: A Pedagogic IDE for C# Featuring a Read-Eval-Print-Loop Dennis Lu Abstract As the primary programming language of the Microsoft .NET platform, C# will play a significant role in software development for the foreseeable future. As the language rapidly gains popularity in industry, tools made for C# development fo- cus on the professional programmer, while leaving the beginning computer science student behind. To address this problem, we introduce Dr. C#, a simple lightweight develop- ment environment with an integrated, interactive Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL). Dr. C# helps flatten the learning curve of both the environment and the language, enabling students to quickly learn key elements of the language and focus more easily on concepts. Dr. C# thus serves not only as a learning tool for beginner students but also as a teaching tool for instructors. The editor is based on an open source IDE called SharpDevelop. This thesis describes the implementation of Dr. C# focusing primarily on building the REPL and integrating with SharpDevelop. Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor Professor Robert “Corky” Cartwright for giving me the opportunity and autonomy to develop Dr. C#. I would also like to thank Professor Dung Nguyen for acting as co-advisor and for his years of guidance and support.

  • STEM Student's Guide: Learning to Code and Design Video Games
    Log In A STEM Student's Guide: Learning to Code and Design Video Games For many, video gaming is not only a hobby but a passion. But while playing video games is fun, you could also consider taking things a step further and becoming a game developer someday. There are a lot of di!erent ways to get involved in game design, but one of the most useful skills in this "eld is the ability to code. Anyone can learn to code and create video games, and there are all sorts of free resources online that can help. The two main roles for people who create video games are designers and programmers, but often, their responsibilities will overlap. While there are many di!erent types of video games in the world, all of them are created with the same basic process. Brainstorming A game designer should "rst come up with a basic concept for their game. It's helpful to keep a list of ideas written down somewhere, whether this is on paper or in an app. Next, you'll need to think about the di!erent abilities and actions possible for each character, the mood and tone of the game, and the story that will hold it all together. When thinking of the game's mood, it's essential to consider visual and audio e!ects and the overall aesthetic you're going for. Think about color, shape, and space, and keep in mind that the look of your game should be both unique and functional. While brainstorming new games, designers should keep in mind that they will often go through many ideas that do not work out before "nding one that works.

  • Platform for Educational Games Generation
    FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO Platform for Educational Games Generation André Gomes Barbosa Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Informática e Computação Supervisor: Ana Cristina Ramada Paiva September 15, 2015 © André Gomes Barbosa, 2015 Platform for Educational Games Generation André Gomes Barbosa Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Informática e Computação Approved in Public Examination by the Jury: President: João Carlos Pascoal Faria External examiner: João Miguel Fernandes Supervisor: Ana Cristina Ramada Paiva ____________________________________________________ September 15, 2015 Abstract The development of games for education is a growing area of research. Over the past few years, studies point out that the use of games as a supplement to traditional learning can be much more efficient and motivational than just using the traditional teaching method. These are called serious games. This work aims to improve a previous game developed to learn software testing, having the contents of the game are loaded from a XML file which would be separated from the game implementation. The game itself, iLearnTest, consists of several challenges which cover various themes regarding software testing learning. Since the content is saved to and loaded from a separate file from the game implementation, it becomes easier to create and edit new levels or even new games for diferent topics, simply by editing a XML file. This new approach turns iLearnTest into a framework rather than a game in the sense that it is possible to use the same game(s) as templates for the learning process of a variety of themes. Resumo O desenvolvimento de jogos para a educação é uma área de pesquisa em crescimento.

  • A Game Engine Designed to Simplify 2D Video Game Development
    A Game Engine Designed to Simplify 2D Video Game Development Miguel Chover ₁ Carlos Marín ₂ ₅ Cristina Rebollo ₃ Inmaculada Remolar ₄ Institute of New Imaging Technologies - Universitat Jaume I. Castellón. Spain. ₁ [email protected] ₂ [email protected] ₃ [email protected] ₄ [email protected] ₅ Corresponding Author. E-mail: [email protected]. Phone Number: +34 616 29 76 65 Abstract In recent years, the increasing popularity of casual games for mobile and web has promoted the development of new editors to make video games easier to create. The development of these interactive applications is on its way to becoming democratized, so that anyone who is interested, without any advanced knowledge of programming, can create them for devices such as mobile phones or consoles. Nevertheless, most game development environments rely on the traditional way of programming and need advanced technical skills, even despite today’s improvements. This paper presents a new 2D game engine that reduces the complexity of video game development processes. The game specification has been simplified, decreasing the complexity of the engine architecture and introducing a very easy-to-use editing environment for game creation. The engine presented here allows the behaviour of the game objects to be defined using a very small set of conditions and actions, without the need to use complex data structures. Some experiments have been designed in order to validate its ease of use and its capacity in the creation of a wide variety of games. To test it, users with little experience in programming have developed arcade games using the presented environment as a proof of its easiness with respect to other comparable software.

Satisfying c2 would then in turn violate c3 , and satisfying c3 would violate c1 and so on. It combines flexible plugins with a visualization pipeline architecture, making K-3D a versatile and powerful tool for artists. DX Studio 3. Current release is 3. It allows users to easily create their own multimedia content for Behavioral simulations, Games with interactive cards and Software and technical training. Blender's features include advanced simulation tools such as rigid, realistic body, fluid, cloth and softbody dynamics, modifier-based modeling tools, powerful character animation tools, a node-based material and compositing system and Python for embedded scripting. If you've ever seen a ball fly through the air, or a car moving, or something rolling down a hill, or if you've ever felt anything, you know indirectly about Newton's 2nd Law. You can add a force to the point mass to manipulate its speed and direction. Pass in a series of objects in which the first object passed will inherit all properties of subsequent objects. The more iterations, the stiffer an object built this way tends to be. When done you just call restore , draw something else using the previous transformation matrix, call restore and save and so on until you are back at the bottom.
