Game Development Patterns with Unreal Engine 5 - Build maintainable and scalable systems with C++ and Blueprint

Stuart Butler, Tom Oliver

Synopsis

Design patterns serve as a toolkit of techniques and practices that enable you to write code that’s not only faster, but also more manageable. With this book, you’ll explore a range of design patterns and learn how to apply them to projects developed in Unreal Engine 5.
You’ll begin by delving into the foundational principles of coding and develop a solid understanding of the concepts, challenges, and benefits of using patterns in your code. As you progress, you’ll identify patterns that are woven into the core of Unreal Engine 5 such as Double Buffer, Flyweight, and Spatial Partitioning, followed by some of the existing tool sets that embody patterns in their design and usage including Component, Behavior Tree, and Update.
In the next section of the book, you’ll start developing a series of gameplay use cases in C++ to implement a variety of design patterns such as Interface and Event-based Observers to build a decoupled communications hierarchy. You’ll also work with Singleton, Command, and State, along with Behavioral Patterns, Template, Subclass Sandbox, and Type Object. The final section focuses on using design patterns for optimization, covering Dirty Flag, Data Locality, and Object Pooling.
By the end, you’ll be proficient in designing systems with the perfect C++/Blueprint blend for maintainable and scalable systems.

Blockchain: The New Internet?...

Phillip Rawson

Blockchain technology could be the greatest innovation since the internet.
What exactly is Blockchain?
Blockchain is a simple but ingenious new protocol that allows peer-to-peer internet transactions that are both secure and anonymous. Many governments and companies are already looking at how to put blockchain technology in place in a wide range of areas. This new protocol could impact every individual on the planet within the next few years.
Why is this important?
Blockchain provides a new secure tool for the transfer “value” utilizing the internet. This is powerful, especially if you’re a craftsman who wants to make a living from your art, or you’re a businessman looking for a better platform on which to build future business. Knowing how this new technology works can give you a real competitive edge in the future. Many of the world’s leading financial institutions are already testing this technology for faster, more secure transactions. These institutions include Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Credit Suisse.
The best new is that this technology is public. It is virtually tamper-proof. And, it is available to anyone ready to take advantage of it. This is the same technology that is the driving force behind Bitcoin and other digital currencies, but the potential goes way beyond this.

To Everything a Season - A View...

Charles Moseley

To Everything a Season is a beautifully crafted personal and reflective account of many years of the changing seasons, from autumn    to autumn, in and around a village on the edge of the Cambridge Fenland. It is an uplifting reflection about change: what was, what is, what will be.   
It is about the miracle of the rich gift of life. It is also about death, loss, and the rebirth of the old into something rich and strange.   
But it is also a book suffused with a gentle humour, with a deep love and sympathy for our fellow creatures. Charles Moseley tackles what we have done to the world of which we are not owners or masters but stewards, not only for our children but for the whole web of life on which everything depends.

Volcanology - The Fiery...

Mike Crawford

Volcanoes have long captured the human imagination, evoking awe and fear in equal measure. These mighty forces of nature, with their explosive eruptions and slow, relentless lava flows, seem to embody the raw power of the Earth itself. For centuries, volcanoes have inspired myths, legends, and scientific curiosity. They are a reminder of the dynamic nature of our planet and the complex forces shaping its surface. From ancient cultures that viewed volcanoes as the homes of gods, to modern scientists who study them to better understand the planet’s inner workings, the fascination with these fiery mountains persists. 
Volcanoes are among the most visible and dramatic expressions of the Earth’s geological processes. They form when molten rock, or magma, from beneath the Earth's crust escapes to the surface, often resulting in the creation of new landforms. This natural phenomenon is not only awe-inspiring but also offers insights into the fundamental processes of plate tectonics and the movement of the Earth’s lithosphere. The eruption of a volcano, whether it’s a gentle release of lava or a violent explosion that sends ash and gas into the atmosphere, can alter the landscape and climate in profound ways.

A Little Cocaine to Loosen My...

Sigmund Freud

In the 1880s, Freud discovered cocaine and became enthusiastic about what was not yet considered a party drug. Favoring the use of cocaine in the treatment of neurasthenia, as an energizer, or as an anesthetic, Freud made a creative and fashionable use of it, heralding practices that our society knows well. Several surprising texts are gathered here on cocaine. Freud recounts the use of coca in history, particularly in South America, from where it was imported. In Cocaine Addiction and Cocaine Phobia, the inventor of psychoanalysis defended coca against its accusers as a dangerous product. Finally, in the letters to Martha Bernays, his future wife, we discover an intimate and loving Freud, telling how he escaped boring dinners thanks to his dear magic substance.

Digital Capitalism and...

Sabine Pfeiffer

Are robots taking away our jobs? Those who ask this question have misunderstood digitalisation - it is not an industrial revolution by other means. Sabine Pfeiffer searches for the actual novelties brought about by digitalisation and digital capitalism. In her analysis, she juxtaposes Marx's concept of productive force with the idea of distributive force. From the platform economy to artificial intelligence, Pfeiffer shows that digital capitalism is less about the efficient production of value, but rather about its fast, risk-free, and permanently secured realisation on the markets. The examination of this dynamic and its consequences also leads to the question of how destructive the distributive forces of digital capitalism might be.
