Train, a board game designed and produced by Brenda Brathwaite (2009), is an unusual game in many regards. It is a game that reliably elicits feelings of complicity in its players with a tragic human event from history. It does this by using the technique of taking advantage of players and audience members expectations about the meta-rules around games and conflating them with the meta-rules of...

We examine the problem of self-adaptation in game-playing agents as the game requirements evolve incrementally. The goal of our current work is to develop an interactive environment in which the game designer generates requirements for a new version of a game, and the legacy software agents from previous versions of the game adapt themselves to the new game requirements. We are developing and t...

Engagement​ ​in​ ​educational​ ​games,​ ​a​ ​recently​ ​popular​ ​academic​ ​topic,​ ​has​ ​been​ ​shown​ ​to increase​ ​learning​ ​performance,​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​a​ ​number​ ​of​ ​attitudinal​ ​factors,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​intrinsic​ ​interest and​ ​motivation.​ ​However,​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​lack​ ​of​ ​research​ ​on​ ​how​ ​games​ ​can​ ​be​ ​designed​ ​to​ ​promote engagement.​ ​This​ ​mixed​ ​met...

The game graphics can give significant impact via visual information and interaction to immature child. Game graphic using color psychology and color therapy technique make children stable, positive and have healthy ego. Th...

In original minority game, each agent at every time step chooses the highest-score strategy from its limited number of strategies given arbitrarily in the beginning of the game. In this paper, agents of the minority game are equipped to a multi-layer perceptron neural network that at every time step learns by back propagation error. Simulation results and the comparison of them with the results...

A study was conducted to compare the excision sampling technique used by the export market and the sampling technique preferred by European countries, namely the biotrace cattle and swine test. The measuring unit for the excision sampling was grams (g) and square centimetres (cm2) for the swabbing technique. The two techniques were compared after a pilot test was conducted on spiked approved be...
