Wikijunior:What can you use math for?/Video Games

When people play a video game, they are not usually thinking about numbers. Regardless of the game, most of the thinking they are doing is logic, or trying to decide the best choice. Playing games does not have to be done so casually however. For every game, there are people interested in the best way to play; this can be found out by using math. More importantly, whenever one plays against or with "the computer" in a video game, the computer must know the rules of the game and how to win (as well has how to  adjust difficulty for different players). But a computer can't do anything without being taught how to do it by a human. This is where math comes into play; math is the language computers speak, and it’s the only way to tell them how to play games.

Just like robots in science fiction, computers can only do exactly what they are told. That might make one think that we'd be better off doing their jobs ourselves, but computers can do what they are told much faster than any human ever could. They are not limited to simple tasks, either; if a person could tell a computer how to think, (which is not an easy task, but is being developed) a computer would be able to think. The process of writing instructions for a computer is called programming, and it is a very big, popular career today.

Every video game must be programmed, but nowadays not everything they write is numbers. Some is a sort of mixture between human language, logic, and math known as code, but math is still essential to the process. Developers of video games have to make music and graphics for the game, but they also have to tell the game how to work. For example, in 3D games, developers have to tell the computer how to make things be displayed when viewed from different angles and how to make objects to not go through each other. All of these are big challenges, but possibly the biggest challenge is making Artificial Intelligence, also known as AI. While AI in video games is not real intelligence like humans have, it can still seem like it is human when it plays the game.

Every game can be broken down with math and expressed somehow with numbers. To illustrate this, we can start with a simple game like checkers. The board has 8 rows and 8 columns, for a total of 64 squares. Each square could have either 0 pieces or 1 piece and that piece could be either red or black. So we might describe the board at any given moment as 64 different numbers arranged in a square (known as a matrix). For each number we could say that 0 means no pieces, 1 means a red piece, and 2 means a black piece. We could also do this be having a number for each piece: where it is on the board. This is pretty simple for checkers, but it is not always. If we were to try to define a 2D area with numbers, we would have to use many very small squares and make some things able to be in several squares at once. This way, a player could move a little bit at a time instead of in big jumps. If the world were 3D, there would need to be even more information about where something is.

Going back to checkers, the best way to define the game is to give each piece two numbers: its row and its column. To start defining moves, we could say that a piece can only move diagonally by saying that it must change rows and columns at the same time, and it can only move over one at a time. To say this with math, if you add or subtract 1 to a row, you must add or subtract 1 to a column. To keep players from going off the board, it’s important to say that a piece can never move above the row or column 8 or below the row or column 1.

Hi Ian. If this page is really a "Wikijunior" page it should actually be named "Wikijunior:What can you use maths for?/Video Games". It is quite simple to move it (nothing is lost) if that is the intention either feel free to do it or ask. Thanks and regards -- Herby talk thyme 13:05, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Sorry my bad, barin not in gear on this one - you are quite correct - thanks -- Herby talk thyme 13:46, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tigru. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tigru~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Econometric Theory/Summation and Product Operators

To sum a series of variables $$ x $$, the Greek capital letter sigma Σ is used:

$$ \Sigma^n_{i=1} x_i = x_1 + x_2 + \ldots + x_n $$.

There are some properties concerning the summation operator Σ:

1. $$ \Sigma^n_{i=1} k = nk $$, where k is a constant.

2. $$ \Sigma^n_{i=1} k x_i = k \Sigma^n_{i=1} x_i $$, where k is a constant.

3. $$ \Sigma^n_{i=1} (a + b x_i) = n a + b \Sigma^n_{i=1} x_i $$, where a and b are constants. This is a result of rules 1 and 2 above.

4. $$ \Sigma^n_{i=1} (x_i + y_i) = \Sigma^n_{i=1} x_i + \Sigma^n_{i=1} y_i $$,

The double summation operator is used to sum up twice for the same variable:

$$ \begin{align} \Sigma^n_{i=1} \Sigma^m_{j=1} x_{ij} & = \Sigma^n_{i=1} (x_{i1} + x_{i2} + \ldots + x_{im}) \\ & = (x_{11} + x_{21} + \ldots + x_{n1}) + (x_{12} + x_{22} + \ldots + x_{n2}) + \ldots + (x_{1m} + x_{2m} + \ldots + x_{nm})\\ \end{align} $$

The double summation operator has the following properties:

1. $$ \Sigma^n_{i=1} \Sigma^m_{j=1} x_{ij} = \Sigma^m_{j=1} \Sigma^n_{i=1} x_{ij} $$. The order of the summation signs is interchangeable.

2. $$ \Sigma^n_{i=1} \Sigma^m_{j=1} x_i y_j = \Sigma^n_{i=1} x_i \Sigma^m_{j=1} y_j $$.

3. $$ \Sigma^n_{i=1} \Sigma^m_{j=1} (x_i + y_j) = \Sigma^n_{i=1} x_i \Sigma^m_{j=1} x_ij + \Sigma^n_{i=1} x_i \Sigma^m_{j=1} y_{ij} $$.

4. $$ \begin{align} \left [ \Sigma^n_{i=1} x_i \right ]^2 & = \Sigma^n_{i=1} {x_i}^2 + 2 \Sigma^{n-1}_{i=1} \Sigma^n_{j=i+1} x_i x_j \\ & = \Sigma^n_{i=1} {x_i}^2 + 2 \Sigma_{i < j} x_i x_j \\ \end{align} $$.

Finally, the product operator Π is defined as: $$ \Pi^n_{i=1} x_i = x_1 \cdot x_2 \cdots x_n $$.

User talk:Easyas12c~enwikibooks

Late but welcome nonetheless!
Hello and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * You should sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * If you're a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
 * If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI to bring the material over in compliance with the GFDL.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Staff Lounge with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Staff lounge, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be an idea if you add this page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there.

Good luck! -- Herby talk thyme 11:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Shaving
Hi, thank you for contributing Wikibooks. Can you please add all your pages to the book category with  ? Regards, --Ramac (talk) 18:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I also wanted to remind you to try not to create a macropedia - Wikibooks is for textbooks, which must be instructional. If your book consists solely of description of shaving, shaving equipment etc. then the book needs to be changed. It's not going to be deleted or anything, but something to work towards and think about. – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 02:01, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Easyas12c. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Easyas12c~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:07, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Chess Opening Theory/1. e4/1...e5/2. Nf3/2...Nc6/3. Nc3

= Three Knights Game = Black can copy White's moves with /3...Nf6/, leading to a very quiet game.

Other alternatives include bishop moves:
 * /3...Bb4/ is playable, but it may be too early because White can play 4. Nd5 (the knight is not pinned yet).
 * /3...Bc5/ is dangerous because White can play 4. Nxe5; after 4...Nxe5, White can play 5.d4, winning back the material with a fork. However, it's not really a mistake, because Black will be able to take a pawn during the process. In this line, 4...Bxf2+ is playable and does not lose material.

It's also possible to play /3...g6/. It may prepare f5. It may also transpose into Scotch Game as the d4 counterattack is often seen.

Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Cookbook:Kefir and Kombucha

Cookbook:Kefir and Kombucha
Suggest delete this page (and its sub-pages: Complete table of kefir organisms, Complete table of kefir contents) for the following reasons:

 * current content is not Cookbook material; more appropriate for Wikipedia
 * a Wikipedia article already exists for kefir
 * a recipe also exists for kefir in Wikibooks Cookbook
 * nothing at all to do with kombucha, as its title purports
 * not NPOV
 * listed for Cookwork in May this year by another Wikibookian, and nothing much done to it since

I see no reason to keep this page or its sub-pages; Delete --Webaware 12:51, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete far more Wikipedia than cookbook -- Herby talk thyme 13:56, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, preferably once the contents have been verified to be on WP or moved there. --Swift 12:45, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * From a WP perspective, it's a mix of POV, unreferenced speculation, generalisations, misconceptions, partial fact, and a dose of copyvio from this website. The WP page on kefir could do with some work, but requires referenced information and general editing for tone, rather than a copy from these pages. Webaware 23:03, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikibooks, a collection of open-content textbooks! You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikibooks, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and gives you many benefits, including:
 * The use of a username of your choice
 * The ability to view all your contributions via a "My contributions" link
 * Your own user page
 * Your own talk page which, if you choose, also allows users to send you messages without knowing your e-mail address
 * The use of your own personal watchlist to which you can add articles that interest you
 * The ability to rename pages.
 * The ability to upload images
 * The ability to customize the appearance and behavior of the website
 * The eligibility to become an administrator
 * The right to be heard in votes and elections
 * Your IP address will no longer be visible to other users.

We hope that you choose to become a Wikibookian and create an account. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have on my talk page. By the way, make sure to sign your posts and comments with four tildes (~~~~), which will let others know who left it.

Cycling round the world
Thank you for posting Cycling round the world. Is it, as it appears to be, a copy of Alastair Humphrey's book Moods of Future Joys? — User:Iamunknown 17:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

 * As I strongly suspect that it is a copyright violation, I am nominating it for speedy deletion. An administrator will evaluate my claim and then may delete the content. Please do not take this a personal offense. You are still welcome to edit Wikibooks. But your contributions must be your own original work, or anothers licensed under a free content license and must be compatible with the GFDL.
 * Please note that if this is not a copyright violation and is indeed your own work and is accidently deleted, you may request that it be undeleted at Votes for undeletion.
 * Again, thank you for contributing to Wikibooks. You are definitely welcome here. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at my talk page. Cheers, User:Iamunknown 01:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Foxbat. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Foxbat~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Wikijunior talk:Bugs

If you would like to discuss anything regarding the bugs project, please post here.

What does the word 'bugs' mean ? true bugs, insecta, arthopoda, or anything one can find under a rock? Regarding the target audience, learning the correct names of taxons and morphological structures is not much different from learning to speak. No doubt 8-12 years old can do this. They also need to understand phrases like "the beetle is black; pronotum and elitra are red".

New Proposed Main Bugs Page
I would like to propose an alternate layout for the wikijunior bugs page. . I have made a mock-up of the proposed layout on my personal sandbox which can be accessed by clicking this link or through my user page. All of the existing articles and other pages will remain unaltered by this as the only page that will change will be the main bugs page, if it is accepted that is.

I have proposed this new design to increase efficiency and reduce the amount of time that is spent moving articles from the stub list into the developing articles list and so on...

Please take a look and tell me what you think.

Regards, Urbane User (Talk)   (Contributions)  17:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I think we should maintain a way to separate the stubs from articles with useful content. Currently there are only a couple articles that rise to the level of being more than stubs. Judging by past experience, some of these proposed articles will remain stubs for many months or even years. The problem arises when you are trying to put together a useful book, and a significant number of categories are stubs. This is a problem with Wikijunior Ancient Civilizations (where the existing format originated, as I recall) where we have enough good articles to make a decent book, but also many articles that contain no meaningful content whatsoever. The downside, as you've identified, is that it requires busy work, and that the "goal" table of contents gets messed up. I certainly think there's room for improvement in the current design and you've made a good start. I like the toolbox idea. --xixtas 17:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Having thought about this some more, I suggest that you Be bold and do what you think is right. --xixtas 15:02, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Main Bugs Page
I have redesigned the main user bugs page to, hopefully, make it more efficient for us to use. If anybody has any problems with the new design, i have made an archive of the old page in case it needs to be reinstated (if you would like this then please ask) and will be happy to sort out any problems that people may have. Urbane User (Talk)   (Contributions)  18:15, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Where are the authors list

The link to the authors list can be found both in the introduction paragraph, and in the toolbox on the right. Urbane User (Talk)   (Contributions)  18:48, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

move protection
the page is move-protected, but should now be moved to Wikijunior:Bugs // tsca [re] 20:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Too American
This book seems to be targeted entirely at American kids. First there's the use of the name bug and the name used for some of those bugs (ladybug, for example). Secondly when you get to the section on Where does it live?, this section is generally just about naming different parts of the USA - the one about crickets talked about the USA for several sentences then mentioned, in passing kind of, that they may exist elsewhere in the world too.--ЗAНИA talk 12:34, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Hm. Is the word "bug" itself still mainly US dialect?  The OED (the real one :-) says it's chiefly US, but that was written a century ago; en.wikt and en.wp don't seem to remark thereon (yes, that could be US bias on their part).  One can see how this book's authors would have hoped for an informal term to appeal to kids and, at the same time, a term with wide scope.  I'm not sure what alternative title to suggest; it doesn't seem appealing to call a kids' book "Arthropods" (and anyway, it excludes trilobites and crustaceans).  "Insects and spiders" is closer, though not precise and perhaps a bit bland.

 * Do you have suggestions for an alternative title?

 * Bias in specific article titles and article contents, presumably has to be dealt with on a per-article basis. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 16:45, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
