Continuous delivery, a cornerstone of modern software engineering, facilitates quick and secure software delivery using a robust toolkit encompassing automated builds, testing, source code management, artifact storage, and deployment. Whether you integrate tools from different providers or use a set of managed services from a single cloud provider, the goal is to streamline setup, integration, and management. This book focuses on continuous delivery on Google Cloud.Starting with an introduction to continuous delivery and secure software supply chain concepts, this book uses hands-on exercises to demonstrate how to continuously test your application with Skaffold and Cloud Code, leverage AI-assisted code generation with Cloud Code and Cloud Workstations, and automate your continuous integration with Cloud Build. You’ll see how to store and scan your software artifacts on Artifact Registry, orchestrate deployments with Cloud Deploy, and release your software on GKE and Cloud Run, configured to admit only trusted code. Using an example application, you’ll implement tools for creating an end-to-end delivery pipeline using Google Cloud services.By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build a secure software delivery pipeline from development to production using Google Cloud managed services and best practices.

SFML Game Development By Example. Create and develop exciting games from start to finish using SFML
Raimondas Pupius
Simple and Fast Multimedia Library (SFML) is a simple interface comprising five modules, namely, the audio, graphics, network, system, and window modules, which help to develop cross-platform media applications. By utilizing the SFML library, you are provided with the ability to craft games quickly and easily, without going through an extensive learning curve. This effectively serves as a confidence booster, as well as a way to delve into the game development process itself, before having to worry about more advanced topics such as “rendering pipelines” or “shaders.”With just an investment of moderate C++ knowledge, this book will guide you all the way through the journey of game development.The book starts by building a clone of the classical snake game where you will learn how to open a window and render a basic sprite, write well-structured code to implement the design of the game, and use the AABB bounding box collision concept.The next game is a simple platformer with enemies, obstacles and a few different stages. Here, we will be creating states that will provide custom application flow and explore the most common yet often overlooked design patterns used in game development.Last but not the least, we will create a small RPG game where we will be using common game design patterns, multiple GUI. elements, advanced graphical features, and sounds and music features. We will also be implementing networking features that will allow other players to join and play together.By the end of the book, you will be an expert in using the SFML library to its full potential.

Game development comprises the combination of many different aspects such as game logics, graphics, audio, user input, physics and much more. SFML is an Open Source C++ library designed to make game development more accessible, exposing multimedia components to the user through a simple, yet powerful interface.If you are a C++ programmer with a stack of ideas in your head and seeking a platform for implementation, your search ends here.Starting with nothing more than a blank screen, SFML Game Development will provide you with all the guidance you need to create your first fully featured 2D game using SFML 2.0. By the end, you'll have learned the basic principles of game development, including advanced topics such as how to network your game, how to utilize particle systems and much more.SFML Game Development starts with an overview of windows, graphics, and user inputs. After this brief introduction, you will start to get to grips with SFML by building up a world of different game objects, and implementing more and more gameplay features. Eventually, you'll be handling advanced visual effects, audio effects and network programming like an old pro. New concepts are discussed, while the code steadily develops.SFML Game Development will get you started with animations, particle effects and shaders. As well as these fundamental game aspects, we're also covering network programming to the extent where you'll be able to support the game running from two different machines. The most important part, the gameplay implementation with enemies and missiles, will make up the core of our top-scrolling airplane shoot' em-up game!You will learn everything you need in SFML Game Development in order to start with game development and come closer to creating your own game.
