Short Sims: A Game Changer explores the design concepts, dialogue,
and formatting of interactive simulations. Interactivity is the key
to effective educational media in schools, corporations, the
military, and government. However, challenges like ineffective
linear content or expenses can derail the product. This book
provides a proven methodology to guide anyone through the steps of
quickly creating highly engaging and responsive content. The
process combines decades of research and implementations with
leading organizations (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Harvard
Business School Publishing, Visa, State Department) with new tools
that have just emerged. Key Features This book provides numerous
code examples to illustrate how to put the techniques into
practice. It includes expanded introductions to mathematics
fundamental to computer graphics and game development. Graphics and
physics are covered in introductory overviews. Author Bio Clark
