Have you ever wanted to make a video game, but didn't know where to start? 2D Unity is an approachable guide to making your own games using Unity, the powerful, free-to-use development platform."2D Unity" contains hands-on projects that get you started making games from the ground-up. Unity's complex interface can be intimidating at first, but each chapter includes patient, step-by-step instructions that walk you through its core functionality like importing images, organizing project files, and using its visual Scene editor to set up all the parts of your game. Along the way, you'll draw pixel art, design tile-based levels, and learn introductory game programming in C#. You'll also learn how to: Animate sprites for player characters, enemies, and obstaclesSpawn objects and use Unity's physics engine to drop themShow particle effects when parts of your game environment get destroyedProgram a level builder that turns a block of text into a complete 2D levelDesign graphical user interfaces, including your game's main menuCreate autonomous enemies like evil shopping carts of doomYou'll start out making short arcade-like games like a colorful brick buster and a top-down tile-based game to learn the basics, and you'll build your way up to making a classic 2D platforming game, a la Donkey Kong. By the end, you'll have the skills you need in order to make the 2D games you've always wanted to play.

Health & Happiness for the Western World outlines a down-to-earth unified field theory through which we can attain and maintain our physical and mental health. From the food we eat to the stars of the galaxy, and from everyday consumer products to the lifestyle choices our hunter-gatherer ancestors made, the author takes an in-depth look at all aspects of our every-day lives and how they affect our health. While exploring the negative things we do to ourselves, the author also describes the naturally inherent positive and healing aspects of the human condition that are capable of keeping us perfectly healthy if we simply pay attention. Equal parts informative, uplifting, and disturbing, Health & Happiness is a field guide that can help the reader recognize and negotiate the modern Western culture's debilitating demands on our physiological condition in a healthy and sane way.
