The project Adventure is a simple text-based adventure game. The game, as given, involves the hero trying to find his way from a deep dark forest to home and his true love. There s very little else the player can do apart from moving from place to place. It s not really very interesting.
This project can be of use beyond the given, rather boring forest adventure though. You can use it as a basis for developing your own adventure game with different, more interesting commands, areas, items, people and so on.
The package ope.adventure contains classes to describe the game world.
Text processing often involves matching text against a pattern. Although Java s character and assorted string classes offerlow- levelpattern- matching support, that support commonly leads to complex code. To help you write simplerpattern- matching code, Java provides regular expressions. After introducing you to terminology and thejava.util. regex package, Jeff Friesen explores many regular expression constructs supported by that package s Pattern class. Then he examines Pattern s methods and the additionaljava.util. regex classes. In conclusion, he presents a practical application of regular expressions.
These three articles involves the combination of wavelet and MCTF. MCTF means motion-compensated-time-filter. It makes wavelet transform more popular because of the high compression efficiency.
C in A Nutshell
Learning a language--any language--involves a process wherein you learn to rely less and less on instruction and more increasingly on the aspects of the language you ve mastered. Whether you re learning French, Java, or C, at some point you ll set aside the tutorial and attempt to converse on your own. It s not necessary to know every subtle facet of French in order to speak it well, especially if there s a good dictionary available. Likewise, C programmers don t need to memorize every detail of C in order to write good programs. What they need instead is a reliable, comprehensive reference that they can keep nearby. C in a Nutshell is that reference.
A frequent requirement in systems involves drivinganalog signals into non-linear or reactive loads. Cables,transformers, actuators, motors and sample-hold circuitsare examples where the ability to drive diffi cult loads isrequired. Although several power buffer amplifi ers areavailable, none have been optimized for driving diffi cultloads.
This application note describes how the existing dual-port block memories in the Spartan™-IIand Virtex™ families can be used as Quad-Port memories. This essentially involves a dataaccess time (halved) versus functionality (doubled) trade-off. The overall bandwidth of the blockmemory in terms of bits per second will remain the same.
Abstract: The process of designing a radio system can be complex and often involves many project tradeoffs. Witha little insight, balancing these various characteristics can make the job of designing a radio system easier. Thistutorial explores these tradeoffs and provides details to consider for various radio applications. With a focus on theindustrial, scientific, medical (ISM) bands, the subjects of frequency selection, one-way versus two-way systems,modulation techniques, cost, antenna options, power-supply influences, effects on range, and protocol selectionare explored.
