Unity
Harrison Ferrone
Unity to jeden z najpopularniejszych silników do tworzenia gier. Równocześnie, pracując w tym środowisku, możesz się nauczyć programowania w C#, który jest nowoczesnym i wszechstronnym językiem. Podczas pisania skryptów potrzebnych do zbudowania gry poszczególne konstrukcje języka i ich zastosowanie nagle stają się proste i zrozumiałe. Dzięki nim można zaimplementować niestandardowe zachowania i mechanikę gry, i to na poziomie profesjonalnej, grywalnej gry! I właśnie taki jest cel tej książki - nauka bloków budulcowych programowania i języka C# od podstaw. Oto siódme, uzupełnione i zaktualizowane wydanie cenionego podręcznika (dodano do niego kilka nowych rozdziałów). Dzięki lekturze poznasz od podstaw koncepcje programowania w języku C# i płynnie przejdziesz do tworzenia gier w Unity. Nauczysz się pisać skrypty implementujące prostą mechanikę gier, programować proceduralnie i zwiększać złożoność swoich gier poprzez wprowadzanie inteligentnych nieprzyjaciół i pocisków zadających obrażenia. W kolejnych rozdziałach poznasz coraz ciekawsze możliwości Unity, niezbędne w projektowaniu gier, takie jak sterowanie oświetleniem, ruchami gracza, kamerą, programowanie kolizji i wiele innych. W książce między innymi: podstawy programowania, w tym programowania zorientowanego obiektowego w języku C# przykłady skryptów C# w środowisku Unity interfejsy, klasy abstrakcyjne i rozszerzenia klas tworzenie dokumentu projektu gry i podstawowych mechanizmów gier stosy, kolejki, wyjątki, obsługa błędów formaty XML i JSON i ich zastosowanie Mistrz programowania zaczynał od pisania gier!
Swift 3 Game Development. Build iOS 10 Games with Swift 3.0 - Second Edition
Stephen Haney
Swift is the perfect choice for game development. Developers are intrigued by Swift 3.0 and want to make use of new features to develop their best games yet. Packed with best practices and easy-to-use examples, this book leads you step by step through the development of your first Swift game.This book starts by introducing SpriteKit and Swift's new features that can be used for game development. After setting up your first Swift project, you will build your first custom class, learn how to draw and animate your game, and add physics simulations.Then, you will add the player character, NPCs, and powerups. To make your game more fun and engaging, you will learn how to set up scenes and backgrounds, build fun menus, and integrate with Apple Game Center to add leaderboards and achievements. You will then make your game stand out by adding animations when game objects collide, and incorporate proven techniques such as the advanced particle system and graphics. Finally, you will explore the various options available to start down the path towards monetization and publish your finished games to the App Store.By the end of this book, you will be able to create your own iOS games using Swift and SpriteKit.

Swift has quickly become one of the most-liked languages and developers’ de-facto choice when building applications that target iOS and macOS. In the new version, the Swift team wants to take its adoption to the next level by making it available for new platforms and audiences.This book introduces the object-oriented paradigm and its implementation in the Swift 3 programming language to help you understand how real-world objects can become part of fundamental reusable elements in the code. This book is developed with XCode 8.x and covers all the enhancements included in Swift 3.0. In addition, we teach you to run most of the examples with the Swift REPL available on macOS and Linux, and with a Web-based Swift sandbox developed by IBM capable of running on any web browser, including Windows and mobile devices.You will organize data in blueprints that generate instances. You’ll work with examples so you understand how to encapsulate and hide data by working with properties and access control. Then, you’ll get to grips with complex scenarios where you use instances that belong to more than one blueprint. You’ll discover the power of contract programming and parametric polymorphism. You’ll combine generic code with inheritance and multiple inheritance. Later, you’ll see how to combine functional programming with object-oriented programming and find out how to refactor your existing code for easy maintenance.
Swift 4 Programming Cookbook. 50 task-oriented recipes to maximise Swift 4 productivity
Keith Moon
Swift 4 is an exciting, multi-platform, general-purpose programming language. Being open source, modern and easy to use has made Swift one of the fastest growing programming languages. If you interested in exploring it, then this book is what you need.The book begins with an introduction to the basic building blocks of Swift 4, its syntax and the functionalities of Swift constructs. Then, introduces you to Apple's Xcode 9 IDE and Swift Playgrounds, which provide an ideal platform to write, execute, and debug the codes thus initiating your development process. Next, you'll learn to bundle variables into tuples, set order to your data with an array, store key-value pairs with dictionaries and you'll learn how to use the property observers. Later, explore the decision-making and control structures in Swift and learn how to handle errors in Swift 4.Then you'll, examine the advanced features of Swift, generics and operators, and then explore the functionalities outside of the standard library, provided by frameworks such as Foundation and UIKit. Also, you'll explore advanced features of Swift Playgrounds. At the end of the book, you'll learn server-side programming aspect of Swift 4 and see how to run Swift on Linux and then investigate Vapor, one of the most popular server-side frameworks for Swift.

Swift has become the number one language used in iOS and macOS development. The Swift standard library is developed using protocol-oriented programming techniques, generics, and first-class value semantics; therefore, every Swift developer should understand these powerful concepts and how to take advantage of them in their application design.This book will help you understand the differences between object-oriented programming and protocol-oriented programming. It will demonstrate how to work with protocol-oriented programming using real-world use cases. You will gain a solid knowledge of the various types that can be used in Swift and the differences between value and reference types. You will be taught how protocol-oriented programming techniques can be used to develop very flexible and easy-to-maintain code.By the end of the book, you will have a thorough understanding of protocol-oriented programming and how to utilize it to build powerful and practical applications.
Swift iOS Programming for Kids. Help your kids build simple and engaging applications with Swift 3.0
Steffen D. Sommer, Jim Campagno
This book starts at the beginning by introducing programming through easy to use examples with the Swift Playgrounds app. Kids are regularly encouraged to explore and play with new concepts to support knowledge acquisition and retention – these newly learned skills can then be used to express their own unique ideas. Children will be shown how to create their first iOS application and build their very own movie night application.

Test-driven development (TDD) is a proven way to find software bugs early. Writing tests before you code improves the structure and maintainability of your apps. Using TDD, in combination with Swift 4's improved syntax, means there is no longer any excuse for writing bad code.This book will help you understand the process of TDD and how to apply it to your apps written in Swift. Through practical, real-world examples, you’ll learn how to implement TDD in context. You will begin with an overview of the TDD workflow and then delve into unit-testing concepts and code cycles.You will also plan and structure your test-driven iOS app, and write tests to drive the development of view controllers and helper classes. Next, you’ll learn how to write tests for network code and explore how the test-driven approach—in combination with stubs—helps you write network code even before the backend component is finished.Finally, the book will guide you through the next steps to becoming a testing expert by discussing integration tests, Behavior Driven Development (BDD), open source testing frameworks, and UI Tests (introduced in Xcode 9).
