19-69 - San PedroIm Laufe der Jahre habe ich die Schnheit des Joshua Tree Nationalparks und Twentynine Palms immer wieder als atemberaubend empfunden. Die surrealen Formen der Sukkulenten, die alle von Strmen, starken Winden und gelegentlichen Regengssen geformt wurden. Borstige Kakteen, die im Gegensatz dazu die zartesten und weichsten Blten hervorbringen. Viele von ihnen sind psychoaktiv, und ihr Duft ist auch ein Verweis auf Laurel Canyon: die Heimat unzhliger

„Im Laufe der Jahre habe ich die Schönheit des Joshua Tree Nationalparks und Twentynine Palms immer wieder als atemberaubend empfunden. Die surrealen Formen der Sukkulenten, die alle von Stürmen, starken Winden und gelegentlichen Regengüssen geformt wurden. Borstige Kakteen, die im Gegensatz dazu die zartesten und weichsten Blüten hervorbringen. Viele von ihnen sind psychoaktiv, und ihr Duft ist auch ein Verweis auf Laurel Canyon: die Heimat unzähliger Partys und LA-Rockmusiker während der experimentellen Ära der späten 1960er und 1970er Jahre.“

Catherine liked high places. High up on the hills. Die Jurte befand sich in Laurel Canyon. Es war ein rundes Zelt, das mit beigem Filz bedeckt war. Nachdem sie am Vortag auf dem Grundstück ihrer Freundin in der Nähe des Joshua-Nationalparks Kakteen geerntet hatten, waren die Vorbereitungen nun in vollem Gange. Zuerst wurden die Stacheln mit der Spitze eines kleinen Messers entfernt. Dann wurde die durchsichtige Haut abgezogen, um das feuchte, dunkelgrüne Fruchtfleisch zum Vorschein zu bringen. Der heilige Gral. Stunden später war das Gebräu in einem gusseisernen Kessel fertig. Die kleine Gruppe von Freunden saß in einem kleinen Kreis auf großen bestickten Kissen und Polstern, während der Leiter der Zeremonie die Flüssigkeit in Teeschalen goss.

And to listen to the wind blow. Das Gebräu schmeckte wie bittere Erde. Und dann. Alles bewegte sich, die Farben waren so lebendig. Ein magisches und verzaubertes Land, so intensiv. Sie ging hinaus und legte sich auf den Boden. In einem Moment hatte Catherine das Gefühl, genug zu haben, und im nächsten Moment gab sie sich hin. Windspiele aus Bambus erzeugten zusammen mit den Blättern der umliegenden Bäume ein subtiles, beruhigendes Geräusch. Das Lagerfeuer knisterte und sie blickte in den klaren Himmel voller Planeten, Sterne, Asteroiden und Kometen.

Die Schönheit der Wüste kam ihr wieder in den Sinn. Josua-Palmlilien, die sich wie zum Gebet zum Himmel reckten. Der staubige, erdige Duft und die Süße des Regens. Unberührte Natur, geformt von unerbittlicher Sonne und starken Winden. Jetzt begann alles Sinn zu ergeben und eine Bedeutung zu haben.

Englische Passagen aus „The Wind“ von PJ Harvey (1998).

If you're developing games with Godot, you need this book
Format: Paperback
Godot is a fantastic game engine, and it has lots of aids to learning -- written tutorials, video tutorials, sample projects, one of the best manuals I've ever encountered. Still, it's nice to have a physical book you can hold in your lap, make notes in, and use as an overall guide to developing competence in Godot development. This is that book. It's has a logical flow, has genuinely useful sample projects, and is written in a clear, highly accessible style. If you are learning Godot, you can't do better than this book.

I didn’t really get a full grasp until reading the philosophy behind Godot.
Format: Paperback
Well paced and very readable. I worked through the online tutorials before buying this book but didn’t really get a full grasp until reading the philosophy behind Godot. Though I have been a C programmer for 34 years, and a Java developer for 22 years, and a Python developer for 18 years, I have never been seriously interested in a game engine until my son introduced me to Godot a couple of months ago. Godot is tremendous! I have even used Godot’s UI controls to produce wireframes for business apps.

Solid, albeit abbreviated, coverage of Godot Game Engine 3.0
Format: Paperback
Solid introduction to Godot. Lightly touches on most topics, enough to get you up to speed an moving with it, though I personally would prefer a book that included much more depth on each area covered. Granted that wouldn't be a Sams "in 24 hours" book, but rather more of a "definitive guide" or "bible" which this is not. There's definitely enough meat to sink your teeth into, and being the first (and presently only) available book, it's worth the price. Aside from content, docking one star for difficult to read glossy pages and light weight fonts in code samples... It's difficult to find a good angle to read the book without glare across the page from a light and my middle-aged eyes struggle a bit with the code samples. UPDATE -- I've decided I have to dock another star. While the book is written in English, its authors are not native english speakers. It seems a better job could have been done with editing and review. There are a lot of clunky sentences, and several instances where the instruction is unclear. A small example: "A trick to add a simple outline is to add a new material to the Next Pass property. In this new material, set it to Unshaded, add a Grow of 0.01, change the Cull mode to front, and set its color to black." For someone familiar with all the various groupings of properties in a spatial material node, that might be all the information needed, but this book is (I thought) aimed at people with less experience with the framework. Those handful of properties are scattered throughout several groups of properties, and in the case of grow, there's only a field to enter a value when you've clicked a checkbox first. This may be a minor thing, and one could probably make the argument that materials were covered a couple chapters prior -- though that section doesn't really mention all of these properties... Lots of little assumptions and oversights like that make the learning process a little more frustrating that it could be. The information that's there is still great, but if you have little or no experience with Godot, expect to have to do some extra legwork to fill in some gaps on your own.

Great for newcomers to Godot
Format: Paperback
Excellent book for beginners with Godot. It will however require some previous programing knowledge this book isn't so much a teaching you to code book instead its an explanation of the Godot software.
