★從零開始，拆掉遊戲製作的門檻★ ☆本書作者獲2022 iThome鐵人賽―優選☆ 網頁遊戲可說是最方便廣傳的發布平台，二十一世紀初期的Flash大一統年代已經證明了，不管規模多麼小、點子多麼荒誕不經的網頁遊戲，都有機會在網路上大放異彩。 自Flash走下神壇，HTML5取而代之，隨著技術的發展，網頁遊戲的開發工具變得越加成熟。 在網頁繪圖引擎的大海中，Pixi.js無疑是繼承了Flash精神的佼佼者，不但提供了高效、輕量級的圖像渲染、動畫特效，而且對於我們程式設計師來說，更有著功能清晰易懂、入門快速上手的好處。 此外，Pixi.js還是以TypeScript為語言撰寫的函式庫。TypeScript是JavaScript的一個超集，提供了靜態類型檢查和推斷等特性，不僅提高了程式碼的可讀性和可維護性，還大大地減少錯誤的發生。本書將並進介紹TypeScript的語法與Pixi.js的功能，通過實例演示如何使用這兩大工具，從零到有地開發網頁遊戲。 透過本書，您將學會如何以最先進的網頁技術製作遊戲，從開發環境的組建、基礎程式編輯概念、TypeScript語法、Pixi.js繪圖功能，到響應式遊戲尺寸、鍵盤滑鼠的操作、物理引擎的引入，再到網頁遊戲的發布和匯出手機遊戲的方法，本書提供了全面的指引與詳解，幫助您輕鬆掌握網頁遊戲製作的知識與技巧。 在WebView全面嵌入作業系統的今天，網頁技術成為支援多平台軟體的熱門選擇之一，對於遊戲製作的新手，更是一片充滿機運的天地。 讓我們一起打開這扇大門，創造屬於自己的遊戲世界吧！ 本書內容分成四大部分： 1.開發環境的組建（第一、二章） 2.函式庫的建立（第三、四、五章） 3.實作遊戲（第六、七、八、九章） 4.發布遊戲於網頁與手機（第十章） 本書的適用對象 因為撰寫時所想像的閱讀對象是完全的入門者，也就是對遊戲製作抱有夢想卻不得其門而入的新手，所以內容除了加入許多程式設計上的解說與邏輯推衍的過程，也會避免使用過於行內的字眼。如果有不得不使用的專業術語，會加開小節對其詳加介紹。 在程式碼的演示上，則儘量將長篇大論切成許多小段來逐步解釋，希望能大幅降低閱讀壓力。 對於已經有程式底子的讀者，書中也有許多軟體設計模式的概念，還有各種遊戲中常用的演算法，供讀者學習思考與印證。

In Different, world-renowned primatologist Frans de Waal draws on decades of observation and studies of both human and animal behavior to argue that despite the linkage between gender and biological sex, biology does not automatically support the traditional gender roles in human societies. While humans and other primates do share some behavioral differences, biology offers no justification for existing gender inequalities.Using chimpanzees and bonobos to illustrate this point--two ape relatives that are genetically equally close to humans--de Waal challenges widely held beliefs about masculinity and femininity, and common assumptions about authority, leadership, cooperation, competition, filial bonds, and sexual behavior. Chimpanzees are male-dominated and violent, while bonobos are female-dominated and peaceful. In both species, political power needs to be distinguished from physical dominance. Power is not limited to the males, and both sexes show true leadership capacities.Differen

Charise Mericle Harper (Crafty Cat, Just Grace, Fashion Kitty) delivers another hilarious and charming early graphic novel series starring Pepper and Boo, two darling dogs, and their suspicious housemate, the cat.Meet Pepper and Boo. They are two dogs who do not know much about cats. (Who does?) They wonder why the cat sleeps so much (in their beds!), licks itself so much, what the cat is thinking, and what makes the cat happy.Luckily, the cat can explain. The cat knows a lot about being a cat. They know a cat will sleep anywhere (a box, a keyboard, a sink, and Boo's bed) and any time of day. They know what cats like and do not like to eat. They also know that although they are different, they're happy to have housemates like Pepper and Boo.Harper cleverly shifts point-of-view between the cat and two dogs, creating laugh-out-loud moments through her text and art that younger readers will want to return to again and again.

The 2010s have seen an explosion in popularity of Chinese television featuring same-sex intimacies, LGBTQ-identified celebrities, and explicitly homoerotic storylines even as state regulations on “vulgar” and “immoral” content grow more prominent. This emerging “queer TV China” culture has generated diverse, cyber, and transcultural queer fan communities. Yet these seemingly progressive televisual productions and practices are caught between multilayered sociocultural and political-economic forces and interests.Taking “queer” as a verb, an adjective, and a noun, this volume counters the Western-centric conception of homosexuality as the only way to understand nonnormative identities and same-sex desire in the Chinese and Sinophone worlds. It proposes an analytical framework of “queer/ing TV China” to explore the power of various TV genres and narratives, censorial practices, and fandoms in queer desire-voicing and subject formation within a largely heteropatriarchal society. Through ex

原來網頁還可以這樣玩？融合電子電路與網頁，一起打造有趣的遊戲吧！ 【內容簡介】 本書內容改編自【第13屆】2021 iThome 鐵人賽，Modern Web 組佳作網路系列文章 ──《你渴望連結嗎？將 Web 與硬體連上線吧！》。 隨著瀏覽器支援的 Web API 越來越豐富，有一天我注意到了「Web Serial API」這個神奇的東東。以往 JS 沒有權限能夠存取作業系統底層 API，所以要進行串列通訊都需要一個中介伺服器轉送資料，但是透過 Web Serial API 就可以直接透過瀏覽器進行串列通訊了！於是這個主題就這麼誕生了。 【寓教於樂】 本書應用情境將以各類遊戲為主，了解電子訊號如何與遊戲結合。透過遊戲與技術的連結，讓讀者能夠從底層了解運作原理且不會枯燥乏味。 【由淺入深】 本書將依序介紹 Vue、Quasar、Firmata、各類電路等等技術，讓讀者可以循序漸進的認識相關技術，並整合這些技術、設計情境，透過一層一層堆疊，最終淬鍊出一個完整的應用程式。 【設計與分析】 軟體開發領域的工程師一定都知道一個永遠不變的道理，就是「技術會不斷更新」。 本書在設計應用情境章節時，會先從需求分析、設計草稿開始，因為技術會變，但是設計與分析的過程基本上大同小異，學會「如何分析、解決問題等等技能」遠比「學會使用工具或某項技術」還重要。

The first exhaustive English-language history and analysis of the Chinese opera genre, Kunqu. In Kunqu: A Classical Opera of Twenty-First-Century China, Joseph S. C. Lam offers a holistic and interdisciplinary view of Kunqu, a 600-year-old genre of Chinese opera that has been fashionably performed inside and outside of China. The first comprehensive and scholarly book on Kunqu written in English, this book explains how and why the genre charms and signifies Chinese culture, history, and personhood. Approaching the genre from several perspectives, ranging from those of performers and producers to those of casual audiences, dedicated connoisseurs, and scholarly critics, Lam also employs a judicious blend of Chinese and international theories and methods. Herein, he establishes the significance of Kunqu not only in the sphere of Chinese music but among the cultural heritage and performing arts at a global level as well.
