Unity Artificial Intelligence Programming - Add powerful believable and fun AI entities in your game with the power of Unity

Dr. Davide Aversa

Synopsis

Developing artificial intelligence (AI) for game characters in Unity has never been easier. Unity provides game and app developers with a variety of tools to implement AI, from basic techniques to cutting-edge machine learning-powered agents. Leveraging these tools via Unity's API or built-in features allows limitless possibilities when it comes to creating game worlds and characters.The updated fifth edition of Unity Artificial Intelligence Programming starts by breaking down AI into simple concepts. Using a variety of examples, the book then takes those concepts and walks you through actual implementations designed to highlight key concepts and features related to game AI in Unity. As you progress, you’ll learn how to implement a finite state machine (FSM) to determine how your AI behaves, apply probability and randomness to make games less predictable, and implement a basic sensory system. Later, you’ll understand how to set up a game map with a navigation mesh, incorporate movement through techniques such as A* pathfinding, and provide characters with decision-making abilities using behavior trees.By the end of this Unity book, you’ll have the skills you need to bring together all the concepts and practical lessons you’ve learned to build an impressive vehicle battle game.

Cloud Computing - The Definitive...

Craig Dames

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way businesses and individuals interact with technology, offering vast opportunities for scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency. At its core, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet, encompassing everything from servers and storage to databases and software. The concept has evolved over time, transforming from traditional IT infrastructure to highly dynamic and scalable cloud platforms that allow users to access resources on-demand.
The evolution of cloud computing dates back to the 1960s, with the concept of time-sharing and the idea of providing remote computing resources. However, it wasn't until the early 2000s that cloud computing began to take its modern form, largely due to the widespread adoption of broadband internet and advancements in virtualization technologies. Early pioneers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud laid the foundation for today’s expansive cloud services.
Cloud computing is grounded in several key concepts and terminologies that are important to understand for anyone delving into this field. At its simplest, it allows users to access and store data over the internet rather than relying on local servers or personal devices. This shift has been made possible by virtualization, a technology that enables the creation of virtual instances of physical hardware, allowing multiple users to share resources efficiently. Another fundamental concept is elasticity, which refers to the ability to scale computing resources up or down based on demand, a key feature that sets cloud computing apart from traditional IT infrastructure.

But Whose Fault? - The AK-47 Found

AMOS ASEMONE

Do you keep an eye on world events through mainstream media? If so, chances are you have missed out on many essential news stories from countries around the world.
While many news outlets will cover European, U.K., and U.S. news in great detail, they often leave out essential news from other continents, especially Africa.
And yet, that doesn’t mean that newsworthy events occur there every day, just like in the UK.
In fact, some of the most newsworthy stories have occurred in Africa in recent years.
If you want to learn more about the conflicts of African communities, you have come to the right place.
Introducing, But, Whose Fault? Part One, a true story based in Ghana, where two AK-47s mysteriously vanished before reappearing without ammunition.
Not only does this book shed light on an incident that is still to be answered to this day, but it also highlights one of the many conflicts that African communities go through and are never displayed on the big screen.
In many ways, the conflict surrounding the missing rifles is a point of convergence of the exploitation of Africa and the negligence shown toward the local people and their value to the world.
It is one of the main reasons it continues to go unnoticed in many countries, yet it is a story that must be told.
Inside, But, Whose Fault? Part One, discover:
● essential background information about the local people and community
● the political context behind the events that unfolded
● the initial factors that influenced the confrontation
● the company behind the Nguvu mining project
● the disappearance, search, and fallout from the missing rifles
If you are at all interested in the rich history and real-life stories of Africa, this book is a must-read.

Reloaded – The Good The Bad &...

James Haskell, Mike Tindall,...

The Highs. The Heartbreaks. The Hangovers.
The Personal. The Vulnerable. The Downright Absurd.
IT'S TIME TO RELOAD.
As was widely predicted, our first book, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby – Unleashed, did not win a Pulitzer Prize. It did, however, scoop Sports Entertainment Book of the Year at the 2025 Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards (and sold quite a lot of copies), so here we are again, back for a sequel.
What more have we to say? It’s a fair question. Hask can mine more new material from a trip to the supermarket than most people can from an entire lifetime – and you won’t be surprised to learn that he hasn’t just been hanging around Asda since our last book came out. He recently turned 40, he’s been through much personal turmoil, he’s done an awful lot of DJing – and he’s had a lot of arguments. Expect much of that, and even some thoughts on rugby, in the following pages.
As for Tins, you’ll find out about his early days in rugby, how he had to fight to make it, what he thinks of the state of the game, and his plans to get it back on track. Meanwhile, Alex will tell you all about his career in broadcasting, from making (‘disgusting’) tea and coffee, and presenting some of the greatest rugby matches in history, to getting binned by Sky.
We should end by begging you to pardon our previous flippancy. It was, of course, lovely to win that award, as well as very surprising. In fact, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby will never stop surprising us, and its continuing success is largely down to you – our wonderful listeners, viewers and now readers. We do hope you enjoy what follows and that you keep coming back for more.
Winners of the Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards 2025 Sports Entertainment Book of the Year, for their previous book The Good, The Bad and The Rugby – Unleashed.
In this non-fiction sequel, Haskell continues to share his humorous memoirs, diving deeper into his personal turmoil and his journey into the world of DJing. His candid revelations, coupled with Tins insights into the state of rugby and Alex's broadcasting career, make this an up-coming bestseller.
For fans of Rachel Murphy (Loose Head), Luke Upton (Hard Men of Rugby), Peter Crouch (How to Be an Ex-Footballer), and Jonny Wilkinson (Jonny).
