Is it possible to think of games as moral objects? Or, more precisely: is the design of computer games morally accountable? Computer game design is the craft of gameplay, the challenge of creating a balanced and enjoyable g...

The paper describes the most significant design issues concerning the development of game-oriented undergraduate degree programs. These issues fall into two broad categories, those that concern the organization of the degree, including its framing and naming, as well as issues concerning the degree’s content. Content issues include the amount of computer science content, use of digital media co...

Computer game worlds are dynamic and operate in realtime. Any agent in such a world must utilize techniques that can deal with these environmental factors. Additionally, to advance past the current state-of-the-art, computer game agents must display intelligent goalorientated behaviour. Traditional planners, whilst ful lling the need to generate intelligent, goal-orientated behaviour, fail dram...

This paper proposes a new approach to conceptualizing digital and media art forms. This theoretical approach will be explored through issues raised in the process of creating a formal declarative model for digital and media art. This methodology of implementing theory as a way of exploring and testing it is intended to mirror the practices of both art making and computer processing. In these pr...

This paper explores multiple approaches to building an art game project created from a feminist perspective. Funded by a research grant, this can be seen as an experimental praxis that plays with connecting metaphors invoked in feminist theory to playable media. This connection is figurative not literal and manifests throughout the development process: in conception (artistic intent), productio...
