Debian Perl : digital detective. by Hilario, Mel,author.(CARDINAL)799024; Davis, Lauren,1982-author.(CARDINAL)795397; Longua, Katie,illustrator.(CARDINAL)603564; Currie, Brittany,colorist.; AndWorld Design (Firm),letterer.(CARDINAL)495750;
"Megalopolis used to be the city hub for all the makers, doers, and dreamers. It was a better time according to Debian Perl, a technomancer known for her out-of-date computer programming skills. Now the city streets are full of "Egg-heads," those in thrall to the ease and simplicity of new technology as opposed to Debian's way of doing things. Digits is one of those Egg-heads. She is a young social media guru and knows her way around all the newest, latest technology. Debian and Digits cross paths when both stumble across Ray-Bot, and 100-year-old sentient robot who is lost and mysteriously missing his memory chip. To find out where the robot came from, Debian must teach Digits everything she knows about computer coding and programming. Along their journey to bring Ray-Bot home, they begin piecing together the mysterious puzzle about his malfunction, and uncover some sinister secrets behind the robot workforce powering Megalopolis's Egg devices." --

Video games : design and code your own adventure / by Ceceri, Kathy,author.(CARDINAL)589914; Crosier, Mike,illustrator.(CARDINAL)616448;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 117-120) and index.What does the 13,000-year-old mancala game have in common with today's Minecraft ? They both require logic, critical thinking skills, and creativity! In Video Games: Design and Code Your Own Adventure, readers discover that the video games they play today have their roots in the games kids played in the deserts of Ancient Egypt, and they'll learn how to design their own games from the initial idea to the final blips on the screen. Video games are everywhere, from iPods and tablets to video consoles and the latest virtual reality headset. By diving into this familiar, engaging topic, kids will get the chance to explore the neuroscience behind the attraction of video games: what makes them fun, what makes them hard to put down. They'll even tackle the age-old question--are video games good for us or bad for us? Readers will deconstruct video games to learn why the characters behave the way they do and how real-world physics compares to game physics. As kids design their own games, they'll develop skills in storytelling, technical writing, communications, graphic design, computer programming, and teamwork. They'll have so much fun they won't realize they're learning about geometry, statistics, probability, physics, logic, psychology, and neuroscience. Activities in Video Games include creating text-based adventure quests, designing board games, and programming using free, kid-friendly software such as MIT's Scratch. For kids who just can't get enough of video games, here's a chance to visit behind the scenes at a game company to explore the entire design process, from idea to market. Video Games meets Common Core State Standards for reading nonfiction and math. Guided Reading Levels and Lexile measurements indicate grade level and text complexity.--Middle School.Ages 9-12.990990L

Programming with OpenSCAD : a beginner's guide to coding 3D-printable objects / by Gohde, Justin,author.; Kintel, Marius,author.;
OpenSCAD is freely available open source software that enables nondesigners to easily create 3D designs using a text-based programming language. It's a great language for beginners because the instant 3D visualization gives you immediate feedback on the results of your code. This book channels OpenSCAD's visual benefits and user-friendliness into a STEAM-focused, project-based tutorial that teaches the basics of coding, 3D printing, and computational thinking while you develop your spatial reasoning by creating 3D designs with OpenSCAD. Presuming no prior experience with either programming or 3D design, each chapter builds a scaffolded understanding of core concepts. You'll start by defining, drawing and displaying geometric primitives with text-based code, then expand your creative toolbox with transformation operations - like rotating, reflecting, scaling, and combining shapes. As the projects become more sophisticated, so will your programming skills; you'll use loops for replicating objects, if statements for differentiating your designs, and parameterized, self-contained modules to divide longer scripts into separate files. Along the way, you'll learn 3D printing tips so that you can produce physical mementos of your progress and get physical feedback that lets you correct mistakes in real time. In addition, the book provides hands-on and accessible design exercises at the end of each chapter so that you can practice applying new concepts immediately after they are introduced.Introduction -- 3D drawing with OpenSCAD -- More ways to transform shapes -- 2D shapes -- Using loops and variables -- Modules -- Dynamic designs with if statements -- Designing big projects -- Afterword -- Appendix A: OpenSCAD language reference -- Appendix B: OpenSCAD visual reference.
