Infos

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The Simulation Argument states that if video game technology continues its rapid pace of improvement, we will be able to create hyper-realistic simulations that are indistinguishable from physical reality. This would be the point in a technological civilization's development when it possesses the ability to create hyper-realistic simulations.#2 In this part of the book, we will examine whether and how it would be technologically possible for us to construct a simulation that is as all-encompassing as the one in The Matrix. We ll start with the history of video game technology from the first video games of the 1960s and 1970s to today s more sophisticated MMORPGs.#3 The development of video game technology can be broken down into four stages: Stage 0 through Stage 3, from the days of single-player video games to today s highly sophisticated multiplayer 3D games rendered online.#4 The first text adventure game was Colossal Cave Adventure, built by Will Crowther in 1976 on a PDP-10 mainframe computer. It was based on the Mammoth Caves in Kentucky, where Crowther had spent a lot of time.
