The New Canon Classic Authors.net / Great Literature Online Pygame 3D Graphics Tutorial Our wireframe object is currently defined by a list of Node objects and a list of Edge objects, which hopefully makes things easy to understand, but it isn't very efficient. That's not a problem if we're just making cubes, but will be if we want to create more complex objects. In this tutorial, we will: Convert our list of nodes to a numpy arraySimplify how edges are storedCreate a cube using the new system By the end of this and the following tutorial our program should function exactly the same as before, but will be more efficient. NumPy If you're not familiar with NumPy, then this tutorial might take a bit of work to understand, but I think it's worth the effort. The first thing is to download NumPy if you haven't already done so. import numpy as np Since NumPy includes a lot of mathematical functions, we can use it to replace the math module, thus replace math.sin() with np.sin(). NumPy arrays (matrices) self.nodes = np.zeros((0, 4)) This creates a NumPy array with 0 row and 4 columns.

Enciclopedia de la Literatura en México The Classic Literature Library 50 Most Influential Books of the Last 50 (or so) Years In compiling the books on this list, the editors at SuperScholar have tried to provide a window into the culture of the last 50 years. Ideally, if you read every book on this list, you will know how we got to where we are today. Not all the books on this list are “great.” The criterion for inclusion was not greatness but INFLUENCE. The books we chose required some hard choices. We also tried to keep a balance between books that everyone buys and hardly anyone reads versus books that, though not widely bought and read, are deeply transformative. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 45.

Literature.org Learning To Program Each of the sessions with the students consists of one or more lessons. Each of the sessions below present you with the handouts for the lessons and some discussion of how to teach that section of the course. When printing these lessons for students you may wish to change the zoom factor of the page size by selecting page setup for your browser. Generally a zoom of 70% will work well for printing them. Session One In the first session you want to familiarize the students with the programming environment called IDLE. Session Two In the second session you introduce the students to Turtle graphics using the xturtle package. The students also learn how to use a for loop to repeat code. Session Three In this session students learn to define and use functions. Then functions are used to draw squares at random points on the screen. Session Four In this session students learn how to program in an event-driven framework. Lesson 9 Session Five This is probably session 5,6,7 and maybe even 8. Lesson 10

A Halloween reading list Halloween is my favourite holiday, though I'm not quite sure why. It may be some blood-deep ethnic link to the ancient Celtic festival from whence it came; it may be the fact that I'm crazy-stupid for slasher movies and monkey nuts. Either way, Halloween puts the frights on Christmas, terrorises Easter and sends Valentine's Day bawling for its mommy. And one of the best ways to spend 31 October is by curling up with a creepy book, in a room lit by candles, with stiff drink and loaded revolver close at hand. Just in case. However, being the très cool, alternative trendies that we are, let's not settle for any old horror novel. Instead, I've put together an alternative Halloween reading list in preparation for next Monday: novels that are eerie, horrifying or disturbing in unusual and different ways. Manual by Daren KingFetishism, psychic dislocation, unhealthy sexual obsession – Manual isn't an easy book to warm to, but it will linger in the mind afterwards.
