  • Introducing 2D Game Engine Development with Javascript
    CHAPTER 1 Introducing 2D Game Engine Development with JavaScript Video games are complex, interactive, multimedia software systems. These systems must, in real time, process player input, simulate the interactions of semi-autonomous objects, and generate high-fidelity graphics and audio outputs, all while trying to engage the players. Attempts at building video games can quickly be overwhelmed by the need to be well versed in software development as well as in how to create appealing player experiences. The first challenge can be alleviated with a software library, or game engine, that contains a coherent collection of utilities and objects designed specifically for developing video games. The player engagement goal is typically achieved through careful gameplay design and fine-tuning throughout the video game development process. This book is about the design and development of a game engine; it will focus on implementing and hiding the mundane operations and supporting complex simulations. Through the projects in this book, you will build a practical game engine for developing video games that are accessible across the Internet. A game engine relieves the game developers from simple routine tasks such as decoding specific key presses on the keyboard, designing complex algorithms for common operations such as mimicking shadows in a 2D world, and understanding nuances in implementations such as enforcing accuracy tolerance of a physics simulation. Commercial and well-established game engines such as Unity, Unreal Engine, and Panda3D present their systems through a graphical user interface (GUI). Not only does the friendly GUI simplify some of the tedious processes of game design such as creating and placing objects in a level, but more importantly, it ensures that these game engines are accessible to creative designers with diverse backgrounds who may find software development specifics distracting.

  • Teaching Introductory Programming with Javascript in Higher Education
    Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Applied Informatics Eger, Hungary, January 29–February 1, 2014. Vol. 1. pp. 339–350 doi: 10.14794/ICAI.9.2014.1.339 Teaching introductory programming with JavaScript in higher education Győző Horváth, László Menyhárt Department of Media & Educational Informatics, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary [email protected] [email protected] Abstract As the Internet penetration rate continuously increases and web browsers show a substantial development, the web becomes a more general and ubiq- uitous application runtime platform, where the programming language on the client side exclusively is JavaScript. This is the reason why recently JavaScript is more often considered as the lingua franca of the web, or, from a different point of view, the universal virtual machine of the web. In ad- dition, the JavaScript programming language appears in many other areas of informatics due to the wider usage of the HTML-based technology, and the embedded nature of the language. Consequently, in these days it is quite difficult to program without getting in touch with JavaScript in some way. In this article we are looking for answers to how the JavaScript language is suitable for being an introductory language in the programming related subjects of the higher education. First we revisit the different technologies that lead to and ensure the popularity of JavaScript. Following, current approaches using JavaScript as an introductory language are overviewed and analyzed. Next, a curriculum of an introductory programming course at the Eötvös Loránd University is presented, and a detailed investigation is given about how the JavaScript language would fit in the expectations and requirements of this programming course.

  • Debugging Javascript
    6803.book Page 451 Thursday, June 15, 2006 2:24 PM APPENDIX ■ ■ ■ Debugging JavaScript In this appendix, I will introduce you to some tricks and tools to debug your JavaScript code. It is very important to get acquainted with debugging tools, as programming consists to a large extent of trying to find out what went wrong a particular time. Some browsers help you with this problem; others make it harder by having their debugging tools hidden away or returning cryptic error messages that confuse more than they help. Some of my favorites include philo- sophical works like “Undefined is not defined” or the MSIE standard “Object doesn’t support this property or method.” Common JavaScript Mistakes Let’s start with some common mistakes that probably every JavaScript developer has made during his career. Having these in the back of your head when you check a failing script might make it a lot quicker to spot the problem. Misspellings and Case-Sensitivity Issues The easiest mistakes to spot are misspellings of JavaScript method names or properties. Clas- sics include getElementByTagName() instead of getElementsByTagName(), getElementByID() instead of getElementById() and node.style.colour (for the British English writers). A lot of times the problem could also be case sensitivity, for example, writing keywords in mixed case instead of lowercase. If( elm.href ) { var url = elm.href; } There is no keyword called If, but there is one called if. The same problem of case sensi- tivity applies to variable names: var FamilyGuy = 'Peter'; var FamilyGuyWife = 'Lois'; alert( 'The Griffins:\n'+ familyGuy + ' and ' + FamilyGuyWife ); This will result in an error message stating “familyGuy is not defined”, as there is a variable called FamilyGuy but none called familyGuy.
