Simulations and games

Evolutionary games and computer simulations.

The Prisoner's Dilemma has long been considered the paradigm for studying the emergence of cooperation among selfish individuals. Because of its importance, it has been studied through computer experiments as well as in the laboratory and by analytical means. However, there are important differences between the way a system composed of many interacting elements is simulated by a digital machine...

Games and Simulations and Theirrelationships to Learning

Educational games and simulations are experiential exercises that transport learners to another world. There they apply their knowledge, skills, and strategies in the execution of their assigned roles. For example, children may search for vocabulary cues to capture a wicked wizard (game), or engineers may diagnose the problems in a malfunctioning steam plant (simulation). The use of games and s...

Synchronous games, simulations and lambda-calculus

We refine a model for linear logic based on two well-known ingredients: games and simulations. We have already shown that usual simulation relations form a sound notion of morphism between games; and that we can interpret all linear logic in this way. One particularly interesting point is that we interpret multiplicative connectives by synchronous operations on games. We refine this work by giv...

Head Tracking System for Games and Simulations

A system is presented which provides head tracking services that can be implemented into 3D games and simulations. This creates an enhanced illusion of depth based on the real world position of the user and gives the ability to look around the virtual world by physically turning your head. A webcam is used to capture images of a layout of three red dots attached to a hat worn by the user. These...
