Build a city. Not a toy project — a living system.In Masters of the Metropolis, you don’t learn programming by memorising syntax. You learn by constructing a simulation that evolves over time.Every chapter adds something real: time, citizens, economy, infrastructure, events.By the end, you’ve built more than code. You’ve built a system that behaves.

This is a collection of 16 game starter kits guiding you in developing games for Phaser v3.16+ APIs. Each chapter is easy to read, humorous approach to game development, these self-contained tutorials are perfect for novices, experienced full-stack programmers, or anyone creating single-player games with their own artwork and features.

Build games that run almost anywhere with SDL3. This book starts with the basics and steadily moves into advanced graphics, audio, input, and application design using practical, real-world examples. Every chapter includes complete code you can compile and experiment with, helping you understand not just how SDL3 works, but how to use it to build fast, portable applications with confidence.

Learn Lua from your first script to advanced programming techniques with a practical, hands-on guide. Whether you are building games, scripting applications, or exploring embedded systems, this book gives you the knowledge to write clean, efficient Lua code with confidence.

Build a game from scratch in Go, no engine magic, just code you understand. You'll create Gopher Survivor, a Vampire Survivors–style action game, one concept per chapter: enemies, weapons, XP and level-ups, particles, a state machine, and a build you can ship.

You don't need Unity to make a game. A text editor, a browser, and 24 chapters: build a complete Breakout from scratch, then your own games — with the HTML5 Canvas and nothing else.

What happens when intelligent agents must negotiate, cooperate, compete, and learn simultaneously?Welcome to the advanced frontier of Artificial Intelligence.Game Theory and Artificial Intelligence (VOL-2) explores how modern AI systems make strategic decisions in environments filled with uncertainty, multiple objectives, competing interests, and dynamic interactions.Inside this volume, readers will discover:✓ Nash Q-Learning and Strategic Reinforcement Learning✓ Deep Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL)✓ DQN, Actor-Critic, MADDPG, QMIX, and CTDE Frameworks✓ Mechanism Design and Incentive Engineering✓ Decision Making Under Uncertainty✓ Social Choice Theory and Collective Intelligence✓ Game-Theoretic Machine Learning✓ Robotics, Cybersecurity, Economics, and Communication Networks✓ Evolutionary Game Theory and Learning Dynamics✓ Quantum Game Theory and Future AI Research✓ AI Safety, Alignment, and GovernanceFrom autonomous vehicles and intelligent robots to cybersecurity defense systems and large-scale AI simulations, this book provides the theoretical and practical foundations necessary to understand the future of strategic artificial intelligence.Whether you are a student, researcher, engineer, or AI professional, this volume offers a roadmap to some of the most exciting and influential areas of modern AI research.

Stop playing other people's dungeons. Build your own RPG roguelike in Python and hand it to a friend who had no idea you could do that.

Earth rapidly became a smaller and smaller blue dot til nothing remained but the darkness of space. The fusion engines slowly pushed the ark ship forward, gliding like a metallic swan. The journey would take 20 years and most of the crew were already in cryo sleep. Only the captain remained awake, doing last minute checks before they would join the others in the dreamless sleep. For the crew, 20 years would pass in an instant, but for the inhabitants of Earth it would be a different story.7 ark ships left the Earth, each with a different mission and different destination. This story takes place on Ark-04 with the mission of reaching the nearest star system, Proxima Centauri. Will you help this crew by leveraging your Python skills? I thought so - buckle up, adventure begins
