However, these retrogame techniques have modern analogues and applications in general computer systems, not just games, and this book makes these contemporary connections. It also uses retrogames‘ implementation to introduce a wide variety of topics in computer systems including memory management, interpretation, data compression, procedural content generation, and software protection. .Retrogame Archeology targets professionals and advanced-level students in computer science, engineering, andmathematics but would also be of interest to retrogame enthusiasts, computer historians, and game studies researchers in the humanities. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Computer games; Computer systems; Computing history; Data compression; Code obfuscation; Memory managemen | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-30004-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-80703-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-30004-7 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 |
