"The Nature of Code"

[wessles]

This book covers a lot of computer science, like genetic algorithms, neural networking, etc. However, the first few chapters focus on translating real world physics to code. This is super useful for game programming. I’d recommend anyone new to game programming to read this.

Book (chapter 3).

Have fun,

I remember this from when I was learning ANNs

I just started to skim:

When you see the term “vector” in this book, you can assume it refers to a Euclidean vector, defined as an entity that has both magnitude and direction.

I’m not sure where the “Euiclidean” thing is coming from…but “magnitude and direction”…nice to see a basic concept being presented correctly.

nice write up!

Do all vectors have direction and magnitude?
