Procedural content generation holds many promises for the design, art, and production of video games. It also poses a number of challenges. This paper concentrates on the procedural generation of game spaces. We specifically argue for a connection of a player’s agency with the procedural world generation. First, space generation in games is broken down into four main approaches: designercreated...
متن کاملDragonfly: strengthening programming skills by building a game engine from scratch
Computer game development has been shown to be an effective hook for motivating students to learn both introductory and advanced computer science topics. While games can be made from scratch, to simplify the programming required game development often uses game engines that handle complicated or frequently used components of the game. These game engines present the opportunity to strengthen pro...
متن کاملFeasibility and acceptability of direct observation of procedural skills to improve procedural skills.
Procedural skill learning is usually unobserved during post graduate training. This study is an attempt to evaluate feasibility and acceptability of direct observation of procedural skills in a medical school in Northern India for postgraduates in Pediatrics. Eighty procedures performed by 15 trainees were observed by 9 faculty members. Seven of nine assessors considered direct observation to b...
متن کاملDesigning a Game for Teaching Argumentation Skills
This paper describes the design of a game which is aimed at teaching argumentation skills to college students. Ability to understand and generate arguments is critical for STEM and a broad range of other fields, but it is sorely lacking in students today. Building on our prior experience creating intelligent tutoring systems for teaching argumentation skills, we have designed a game so that we ...
