Preface

This module is one in a collection of modules designed primarily for teaching GAME 1343 Game and Simulation Programming I at Austin Community College in Austin, TX. These modules are intended tosupplement and not to replace the textbook.

An earlier module titled Getting Started provided information on how to get started programming with Microsoft's XNA Game Studio.

Technical level of the course

This is not a beginning programming course. The official prerequisite for this course is a course in programming fundamentals using either C++ or Python.Those courses use C++ or Python strictly as procedural programming languages. The courses are currentlytaught using very simple IDEs.

I will assume...

I will assume that students in this course already know how to program using either C++ or Python as a procedural programming language and that they alreadyunderstand such fundamental concepts as programming logic, functions, parameter passing, etc.

I will also assume...

At the same time I will also assume that the students in this course know very little if anything about the following topics:

  • The use of a complex IDE.
  • The use of any programming language other than either Python or C++ solely as a procedural programming language.
  • Object-oriented programming.
  • Pointers or any other form of indirection.
  • Large-scale programming documentation.

These are all topics that will be important in learning how to make effective use of the Microsoft XNA Game Studio software.

What is C#?

According to Wikipedia,

"C# (pronounced "see sharp") is a multi-paradigm programming language encompassing imperative, functional, generic,object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines. It was developed by Microsoft within the .NET initiative and later approved as astandard by Ecma (ECMA-334) and ISO (ISO/IEC 23270). C# is one of the programming languages designed for the Common Language Infrastructure."

"C# is intended to be a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language.[3]Its development team is led by Anders Hejlsberg, the designer of Borland's Turbo Pascal, who has saidthat its object-oriented syntax is based on C++ and other languages.[4] JamesGosling, who created the Java programming language in 1994, called it an 'imitation' of that language.[5]The most recent version is C# 3.0, which was released in conjunction with the .NET Framework 3.5 in 2007. The next proposedversion, 4.0, is in development."

In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

What is different between quantity demand and demand?
Shukri Reply
Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

what is the difference between economic growth and development
Fiker Reply
Economic growth as an increase in the production and consumption of goods and services within an economy.but Economic development as a broader concept that encompasses not only economic growth but also social & human well being.

sir...I just want to ask one question... Define the term contract curve? if you are free please help me to find this answer 🙏

it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs

thank you so much 👍 sir

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p

suppose the production function is given by ( L, K)=L¼K¾.assuming capital is fixed find APL and MPL. consider the following short run production function:Q=6L²-0.4L³ a) find the value of L that maximizes output b)find the value of L that maximizes marginal product
