Fun (?) fact: Ghosts była pierwszą częścią #CallofDuty, w którą miałem okazję (krótko) zagrać. Już wtedy fabuła wydawała mi się w najlepszym razie idiotyczna, a patos był tak dławiący, że rzygać się chciało po paru minutach - nie wspominając o ciarach zażenowania.
Mój następny #CoD? Mobile. ;) I przy nim bawiłem się całkiem nieźle. W więcej odsłon raczej nie grałem. https://youtu.be/eKPM7cZORTE
The image is the cover of a book titled "Playing to Win: Becoming the Champion" by David Sirlin. The cover is designed with a striking red background and features a black silhouette of a trophy cup in the center. The trophy has a unique design, with part of its right side formed by a series of white lines that resemble a bracket, which is commonly used to represent tournament play or competitive ladders.
The title "Playing to Win" is displayed prominently in large, bold white letters at the top of the cover, while the subtitle "Becoming the Champion" is placed below the trophy in smaller white text. The author's name, David Sirlin, appears at the bottom in white lettering.
Given the title and the visual elements on the cover, the book likely explores the mindset, strategies, and philosophies that are involved in competitive gaming or any competitive endeavor where the goal is to win and become a champion.
The image is a book cover for "From Sun Tzu to Xbox: War and Video Games" by Ed Halter. The cover combines imagery of ancient warfare, represented by a statue of the Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu, with modern warfare, depicted by a soldier with a rifle, possibly from a contemporary video game. The background features a hazy, war-torn landscape, with the silhouette of a fortress on a hill. The title alludes to the connection between historical concepts of war strategy, such as those written by Sun Tzu in "The Art of War," and their influence on modern war-themed video games. The cover suggests that the book explores the relationship and impact of military theory and practice on the development and content of war-based video games.
No to Python, Go, Lisp and C to begin. In fact at this level you just need to get a feel for process. You need to start where u feel attracted to. You need to learn principles and not languages nor frameworks. Im surprised not one of the replies gives an accurate picture of what it entails to think like a computer. Computation is not an efficient brain like a humans. It was made to work with the hardware we invented long ago. You have to learn the rudimentary and boring repetition the machine HAS to do so it can appear as a real memorable entity. A practical suggestion is to go install Linux From Scratch. When you complete that journey you will have a taste of some principles. Then I also suggest to simply rewrite character for character kilo.c. Why? So you learn how much a pain and a workout it is to crunch at the keyboard. Learn by doing. Learn by breaking and briking. Go find a game u love with all ur being and reverse engineer it. Who cares what u know at the moment, the goal is the process not the result and besides nothing is ever finished, just get it done. One baby step at a time. Oh and dont ask any more questions. All of those have been asked, its our jobs to find the answer. Please take all this as a simple nudges. None is written with any ill will, trolling nor negativity. Take away the knowledge not the pressumed attitude behind my words. Forget the internet and just dive into it. Another way is to pay some pro to mentor you. Good luck with that since most persons are too busy and are elite. Whatever u want to learn has to be done in the spirit of neglect. You cant care too much about computation. It is just a process for making fragmented business. No one NEEDS software nor money. We all agree to play these nonsensical games. Have fun and be grateful for the process itself. Good journey to you friend! Its a weird one. Ive been at it for 35 years and Im still a newbie.
PS The internet is filled with info. Its your job to determine the knowledge and not the judgement on the worth of the person who posted it. Too much drama and toxicity because everyone at the top of the food chain is pushing that vibe. Everyone everywhere is complaining about our violent ways, how we write to each other online and how we are all being subhuman. Peace to all!
