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 The Sound of the Mountain The Sound of the Mountain (Yama no Oto) is a novel by Japanese writer Yasunari Kawabata, serialized between 1949 and 1954. The Sound of the Mountain is unusually long for a Kawabata novel, running to 276 pages in its English translation. Like much of his work, it is written in short, spare prose akin to poetry, which its English-language translator Edward Seidensticker likened to a haiku in the introduction to his translation of Kawabata's best-known novel, Snow Country.

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. 5 Amazing Libraries You Didn't Know You Had Access To Suz Massen, Chief of Public Services at the Frick Art Reference Library was gracious enough to come in and speak to my Intro to Reference class at Pratt Institute this week and I was surprised and excited to find out that the Frick Library is freely available to the public! This got me wondering what other great libraries are out there which I thought were closed and private that actually allow the general public access without having to apply as a researcher. Here are five amazing libraries you might not realize you have access to:

FOR3_1.html 3.3 Pseudocode and Flowcharts Good, logical programming is developed through good pre-code planning and organization. This is assisted by the use of pseudocode and program flowcharts. Flowcharts are written with program flow from the top of a page to the bottom. Each command is placed in a box of the appropriate shape, and arrows are used to direct program flow. 33 Of The Most Bizarre Books In The History Of Amazon I KNEW it. Some jail time required. What? Sometimes the gods like to shotgun beers and drive four-wheelers through the mud. A Doctor and a Reverend walk into a bar...and write a book about third legs. Can you really trust a book about awesomeness written by Pig Pen?

Flowchart Diagrams : Detailed Tutorial Farshadoo > Information Center > Tutorials Flow charts are one of most famous diagrams used to show programs and processes. Sometimes flowcharts are partitioned into 4 groups : Document flowcharts : showing controls over a document-flow through a system Data flowcharts : showing controls over a data flows in a system System flowcharts : showing controls at a physical or resource level Program flowchart : showing the controls in a program within a system Barnes & Noble on the Brink September 10th, 2014 | Hugh C. Howey You know you’ve had a rough time when flatlining is a sign of good health. That’s the news from B&N as same-store sales decreased a mere 0.4% when investors were expecting a 2% decline.

Computer Science Circles Variables act as "storage locations" for data in a program. They are a way of naming information for later usage. Each variable has a name; an example variable name we will use is myLuckyNumber. To store information in a variable, we write a command using an equal sign in the following way:

Rare 1959 Audio: Flannery O’Connor Reads ‘A Good Man is Hard to Find’ Flannery O'Connor was a Southern writer who, as Joyce Carol Oates once said, had less in common with Faulkner than with Kafka and Kierkegaard. Isolated by poor health and consumed by her fervent Catholic faith, O'Connor created works of moral fiction that, according to Oates, “were not refined New Yorker stories of the era in which nothing happens except inside the characters' minds, but stories in which something happens of irreversible magnitude, often death by violent means." In imagining those events of irreversible magnitude, O'Connor could sometimes seem outlandish--even cartoonish--but she strongly rejected the notion that her perceptions of 20th century life were distorted.
