In Prague, date 3.12.2015 signature Název práce: MonoGame knihovna pro tvorbu GUI ve stylu WPF Autor: Vítězslav Imrýšek Katedra / Ústav: Katedra distribuovaných a spolehlivých systémů Vedoucí bakalářské práce: Mgr. Pavel Ježek, Ph.D., Katedra distribuovaných a spolehlivých systémů Abstrakt: MonoGame je populární multi-platformní open-source framework používaný pro vývoj her a dalších grafických aplikací. Nicméně tento framework samotný neposkytuje žádnou implicitní podporu pro vytváření uživatelských prostředí. A zatímco existuje řada knihoven třetích stran, které se tuto podporu snaží poskytnout, žádná z nich nemá za svůj cíl implementaci nějakého existujícího a hojně využívaného frameworku pro tvorbu uživatelských rozhraní. Tato práce se zaměřuje na tento nedostatek a poskytuje reimplementaci Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) frameworku ve formě knihovny pro MonoGame. V rámci této práci jsme vybrali vhodnou podmnožinu vlastností, které budou implementovány a rovněž jsme vyřešili i řadu technických problémů, jako jakým způsobem renderovat naše geometrická primitiva, či jak implementovat podporu pro neobdélníkové ořezávání. V průběhu této práce byl kladen velký důraz na co nejpřesnější dodržování existujícího WPF API a jeho chování. Klíčová slova: MonoGame, WPF, Knihovna pro tvorbu uživatelských rozhraní Title: WPF Style GUI Library for MonoGame Framework Author: Vítězslav Imrýšek Department: Department of Distributed and Dependable Systems Supervisor of the bachelor thesis: Mgr. Pavel Ježek, Ph.D., Department of Distributed and Dependable Systems Abstract: MonoGame is a popular cross-platform open-source framework used for developing games and other graphical applications. However, this framework has no out-of-box support for user interface creation. And while there exist many third party UI libraries, none of them has the goal of implementing some existing, widely used user interface framework. For this thesis, we decided to target this shortcoming and reimplement the Windows Presentation Foundation framework, in form of a library, to MonoGame. As part of this work, we chosen a viable feature subset that is going to be implemented and solved many technical issues. Issues like how to render our graphical primitives or how to implement a non- rectangular clipping. The emphasis of the thesis was to follow the well-known WPF API and its behavior during the implementation process as closely as possible.

QUICK START INTRODUCTION PROJECT STRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT MAKING 3D MODELS DYNAMICALLY CHANGING A SPRITE’S ORIENTATION AND POSITION MATRIX INTERNALS A SHORT GLOSSARY OF 3D GRAPHICS TERMS TROUBLESHOOTING RIGHTS Quick start (This quick start section is for Windows. See below for other platforms, like Android, etc.) 1. Get the installer for the latest release of MonoGame from http://www.monogame.net/downloads/ and run it. (Do NOT get the current development version nor the NuGet package.) 2. Get the Blotch3D repository zip from https://github.com/Blotch3D/Blotch3D and unzip it. 3. Open the Visual Studio solution file. 4. Build and run the example projects. 5. See IntelliSense comments for reference documentation. Introduction Blotch3D is a C# library that vastly simplifies many of the fundamental tasks in development of 3D applications and games. Examples are provided that show how with just a few lines of code you can… • Load standard file types of 3D models as “sprites” and display and move them in 3D with real- time performance. • Set a model’s material, texture, and how it responds to lighting. • Load textures from standard image files. • Show 2D and in-world (as a texture) text in any font, size, color, etc. at any 2D or 3D position, and make text follow a sprite in 2D or 3D. • Attach sprites to other sprites to create associated structures of sprite trees as large as you want. Child sprite orientation and position is relative to its parent sprite’s orientation and position, and can be changed dynamically.

  • Sandcastle Kingdoms Free Download Document Your C# Code with XML Comments
    sandcastle kingdoms free download Document your C# code with XML comments. XML documentation comments are a special kind of comment, added above the definition of any user-defined type or member. They are special because they can be processed by the compiler to generate an XML documentation file at compile time. The compiler-generated XML file can be distributed alongside your .NET assembly so that Visual Studio and other IDEs can use IntelliSense to show quick information about types or members. Additionally, the XML file can be run through tools like DocFX and Sandcastle to generate API reference websites. XML documentation comments, like all other comments, are ignored by the compiler. You can generate the XML file at compile time by doing one of the following: If you are developing an application with .NET Core from the command line, you can add a GenerateDocumentationFile element to the <PropertyGroup> section of your .csproj project file. You can also specify the path to the documentation file directly using DocumentationFile element. The following example generates an XML file in the project directory with the same root filename as the assembly: This is equivalent to the following: If you are developing an application using Visual Studio, right-click on the project and select Properties . In the properties dialog, select the Build tab, and check XML documentation file . You can also change the location to which the compiler writes the file. If you are compiling a .NET application from the command line, add the DocumentationFile compiler option when compiling. XML documentation comments use triple forward slashes ( /// ) and an XML formatted comment body.

It is a very popular web-based knowledge that was launched by Microsoft for individuals in the design world. It has also been considered as a competition to the famous Adobe’s Flash. Some of the big organization using Silverlight include Yahoo!, NASA, Indian Premier League (IPL), Continental Airlines, etc. These organizations have been using Silverlight to enhance their business manifolds. Thus, many companies have recently started to incorporate Silverlight into their systems for effective and efficient handling of their business. In lieu of which many organizations are looking for candidates that can provide adequate solutions to increase their market presence. Such organizations are looking for candidates with adequate theoretical knowledge in addition to good hands-on-training skills. This field also requires candidates to have excellent communication as well as presentation skills. Therefore, some basic, as well as advanced Silverlight interview questions, have been asked in order to scrutinize the perfect candidate that can make the cut.

  • Game-Based Learning
    Game-based Learning Motion-based Educational Game Per Olav Flaten Henrik Reitan Master of Science in Informatics Submission date: June 2016 Supervisor: Alf Inge Wang, IDI Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Computer and Information Science Problem Description Title: Game-based Learning Sub-title: Motion-based Educational Game This project focuses on the development, testing and experimentation with motion-based educational games. The games will use body movement as input to provide a natural user interface and will provide learning through gesture based movement. The project consists of a state-of the-art study, prototyping and develop- ment, testing and experimentation with real users, and analysis of the ex- perimental data. The project will utilize technology like Kinect or similar. Assignment given: 13:01.2015 Supervisor: Alf Inge Wang Abstract This master's project is dedicated to investigate the potential for educa- tional games with a motion controller based interface. Through professor Alf Inge Wang at NTNU we were assigned the task of brainstorming and developing a concept that would utilize motion controllers, more speci- cally the Microsoft Kinect, and investigate if it could be useful outside of a traditional game setting. Additionally it was expressed a desire to have em- phasis on reusable software that would benet future projects investigating the same area or using the same technology. Throughout our research period we have discovered several interesting things. We found that although the Kinect failed to gain any traction on its in- tended area of use, it is a very impressive piece of aordable technology that is worth investigating further.
