Mathematics for Game Programming and Computer Graphics is an exhaustive guide to getting “back to the basics” of mathematics, using a series of problem-based, practical exercises to explore ideas around drawing graphic lines and shapes, applying vectors and vertices, constructing and rendering ...
hot new technology that is only made practical by modern GPUs. Curv uses shader programs to render shapes, and uses larger and more complex shader programs than [some old 3D software]. This places a heavy and atypical load on the GPU driver and hardware, which old hardware and old, outdate...
Week 13 was devoted entirely to Processing and project work. I started the week with introducing a few new ideas. What really inspired the class were the mouseX and the mouseY variables. When your mouse is in screen space, the mouseX and mouseY variables contain the location of your mouse...
A good design pattern should be tractable, facilitating implementation, and easy to communicate, promoting understanding and collaboration among researchers and practitioners. Clear and understandable design patterns encourage adoption and facilitate the sharing of ideas, contributing to the overall growth and...
Technology can be transformed into an instrument that influences and shapes students’ thinking (Artigue, 2002; Ritella and Hakkarainen, 2012). The notion “instrumental genesis” has been used many times to describe the process by which technology and students’ thinking influence each other (van...
which passed all fire safety tests with flying colours. Not only in terms of the high-tech building material, but also in terms of the elaborate 3D construction using CATIA, they borrowed a lot of ideas from the aviation sector. “In the pre-digital era you would not have been able to ...
China's agricultural culture, stemming from river basins, shapes a delicate and introverted character with intensive production methods. The coexist- ence of nomadic and agricultural cultures fosters communication through exchange and conflict, contributing to human civilization. This rich cultural backdrop...

such as physical navigation and environmental maps. Small-scale spatial abilities are defined as those that predominantly rely on mental transformations of shapes or objects (e.g., mental rotation tasks). A meta-analysis (Wang et al.,2014) examining the relationship between small- and large-scale...
In order to predict the web of intermolecular interactions between proteins or between a protein and a small molecule (ligand), molecular docking studies are carried out. Docking takes into account features such as shapes, electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonds, van der Waals and Coulombic interac...
