Rules Of Play : Game Design Fundamentals

  • Rules Of Play : Game Design Fundamentals

  • Attribution

    Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman

  • Publication Details

    Book, MIT Press, 2004

  • Description

    As pop culture, games are as important as film or television–but game design has yet to develop a theoretical framework or critical vocabulary. They look at games through a series of eighteen “game design schemas,” or conceptual frameworks, including games as systems of emergence and information, as contexts for social play, as a storytelling medium, and as sites of cultural resistance.

Programming The Universe : A Quantum Computer Scientist Takes On The Cosmos

  • Programming The Universe : A Quantum Computer Scientist Takes On The Cosmos

  • Attribution

    Seth Lloyd

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st Vintage Books ed, Vintage, 2007

  • Links

  • Description

    This book is the story of the universe and the bit. Every interaction between those pieces of the universe processes that information by altering those bits. That is, the universe computes, and because the universe is governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, it computes in an intrinsically quantum-mechanical fashion; The history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing quantum computation. The computational capability of the universe explains one of the great mysteries of nature: how complex systems such as living creatures can arise from fundamentally simple physical laws. In school, I learned that the physical laws governing the universe are surprisingly simple. Later, under the guidance of Murray Gell-Mann at Caltech, I learned how the laws of quantum mechanics and elementary-particle physics effectively “program” the universe, planting the seeds of complexity.
