Matthew Munson Livres

Develop a 2D game engine that will give you the experience and core understanding of foundational concepts for building complex and fun 2D games that can be played across the Internet via popular web browsers. This book is organized so that the chapters follow logical steps of building a game engine and integrates concepts accordingly. Build Your Own 2D Game Engine and Create Great Web Games isolates and presents relevant concepts from software engineering, computer graphics, mathematics, physics, game development and game design in the context of building a 2D game engine from scratch. In this edition, all the code is based on updated versions of JavaScript with HTML5 and WebGL2: you will analyze the source code needed to create a game engine that is suitable for implementing typical casual 2D videogames. You will also learn about physics and particle system. The discussion of physics component includes rotations and popular physical materials such as wood, mud, and ice. The discussion of particle component has popular presets such as fire, smoke, and dust. By the end of the book, you will understand the core concepts and implementation details of a typical 2D game engine, learn insights into how these concepts affect game design and game play, and have access to a versatile 2D game engine that they can expand upon or utilize to build their own 2D games from scratch with HTML5, JavaScript, and WebGL2

Continuing the journey of beloved characters from Fall From Grace, this novel explores the intertwining lives of humans and angels. Matthew Munson delves deeper into their adventures, revealing new challenges and profound connections that test their faith and resolve. The narrative promises to expand on themes of redemption and the complexities of divine intervention, making it a compelling sequel for fans of the series.

This study explores the application of computational linguistic methods for the semantic analysis of textual data to the text of the Greek New Testament. After an in-depth discussion of the author's computational application of distributional semantics, he moves on to use these methods to explore three different areas which are of great interest in New Testament studies: lexicography, translation, and exegesis. In terms of lexicography, Munson carefully examines the differences in semantic relationships published in „The Louw-Nida Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament Based on Semantic Domains“ and those returned by his own methods. He focuses primarily on what the biblical exegete can learn from each of these sources both by themselves and in tandem. The focus then shifts to the translation of the Greek word „ekklesia“, which is normally translated as „church“ in English. His methods here reveal a close relationship between the use of „ekklesia“ in the New Testament and in the writings of Philo of Alexandria. Munson then discusses these findings in relation to the translation of this theologically laden term. And finally, Munson takes up the nearly stagnated debate revolving around the phrase „pistis Iesou Christou“, which can be literally translated as „faith of Jesus Christ.“ The new forms of data produced by computational methods for semantic and syntactic analysis lead Munson to the conclusion that this phrase refers to belief in the trustworthiness of God's promises, a trustworthiness which, for St. Paul, was demonstrated clearly in God's resurrection of the faithful Jesus Christ.
