Optimization of Platform Game Levels for Player Experience
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate an approach to modelling the effects of certain parameters of platform game levels on the players’ experience of the game. A version of Super Mario Bros has been adapted for generation of parameterized levels, and experiments are conducted over the web to collect data on the relationship between level design parameters and aspects of player experience. These relationships have been learned using preference learning of neural networks. The acquired models will form the basis for artificial evolution of game levels that elicit desired player emotions.

Multi Responses Optimization Through Game Theory Approach
In this paper, a new approach based on game theory has been proposed to multi responses problem optimization. Game theory is a useful tool for decision making in the conflict of interests between intelligent players in order to select the best joint strategy for them through selecting the best joint desirability. Present research uses the game theory approach via definition of each response as ...

A recent trend within computational intelligence and games research is to investigate how to affect video game players’ in-game experience by designing and/or modifying aspects of game content. Analysing the relationship between game content, player behaviour and self-reported affective states constitutes an important step towards understanding game experience and constructing effective game ad...

Level design is one of the hardest and most time-consuming tasks during the development of a game. It is hard because the designer has to create a gaming experience with a balanced difficulty. Therefore, it requires to find a level such that all the audience of the game will have an engaging experience. Typically designers work using level editors in which they can only place game objects in a ...
متن کاملDesign Space Sampling for the Optimization of Online Educational Games
Video game levels are configurations of a set of game parameters; the possible options represented by these game parameters constitute the total design space of a video game. By manipulating game parameters, level designers are able to craft and optimize player experiences. Our research involves the systematic exploration of the design space of an educational game in order to understand how dif...

This paper, presents an adapted serious game for rating social ability in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The required measurements are obtained by challenges of the proposed serious game. The proposed serious game uses reinforcement learning concepts for being adaptive. It is based on fuzzy logic to evaluate the social ability level of the children with ASD. The game adapts itsel...
