Abstract-The traditional target of computer game security is mainly copy protection. The emergence of online games fundamentally changes the security requirements for computer games. Although computer game development often utilizes the cutting edge technology in computer graphics, artificial intelligence, human computer interaction and programming, game providers (developers or operators) do n...

There are roughly three stages in a Go game: the beginning game, the middle game, and the end game. This paper describes a computer Go beginning game system which includes occupying corners, joseki, extending edges, and dealing with Moyo. This beginning game system has been used in a computer Go program named Jimmy 4.0. Having been tested by professional Go players, this system is estimated at ...

This paper reports on the development of an instrument designed to measure the enjoyment of computer game play. Despite the enormous technological progress in the field of computer games, enjoyment of computer game play is still not a welldefined construct. Based on Nabi and Krcmar’s (2004) tripartite model of media enjoyment, a survey questionnaire was developed to measure computer game player...

My research focuses on the intersection of computer systems, algorithmic game theory, and economic mechanism design. My interdisciplinary work has introduced computer architects to a rich body of knowledge in economics and game theory. My dissertation marks the beginning of a paradigm shift in computer architecture toward more robust, game-theoretic analysis of shared systems. As a result, my w...

Since decades developing programs for board games has been part of AI research and this field has attracted computer developers and researchers world-wide. Board games have a novel feature of simple, precise, easily formalized rules which makes them perfect launch vehicle to make computer game playing in a suitable development environment. The paper focuses on the two players, full knowledge, a...

Computer Game Architecture: A large computer game is a significant technical undertaking, involving a large number of interacting components. Of course, not all computer games require the same level of complexity. Different genres of games require different capabilities. The combination of components used for a simple casual 2-dimensional game like Tetris) is very different from a high-end 3-di...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Advances in technology are providing new forms of human-computer interaction. The current study examined one form of human-computer interaction, augmented reality (AR), whereby subjects train in the real-world workspace with virtual objects projected by the computer. Motor performances were compared with those obtained while subjects used a traditional human-computer in...

Narratives are the first means for categorizing experience, whether the experience is real, represented or simulated. As in many textual forms, even in computer games the narrative level is the textual level players are most aware of. Experiencing a computer game is not only a matter of playing and interacting but means being part of a narrative universe. Computer game theory cannot fail to ack...

A great potential of educational computer games in learning process has prepared a good opportunity for teachers to apply “playful elements” in learning environments. As a result educational computer games are widely used as tools to entertain, instruct, motivate and develop skills. The effectiveness of a computer game in sense of help players to learn has been matter of game education industry...
