Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore four general design features of King Digital Entertainment’s game “Candy Crush Saga” – structural, social, cognitive, and emotional – that reflect the principles of Universal Design for Learning and discusses how these features can be applied to course design in order to motivate learner persistence and increase student success. Design/methodology/approach – Both authors are casual Candy Crush game players intrigued by how the game motivates users to continue. The methodology began with participant observation and expanded to “deconstruction” of game features and application of research findings in multiple disciplines to build the argument that game design strategies can be applied to course design to enhance learning outcomes. Findings – Many factors influence game play, but it is crucial for each level to provide increasing challenges that motivate increased mastery but do not frustrate a player to the point of quitting. Similarly, course design that provides the opportunity for learners to achieve a sense of “flow” through the opportunity to identify goals, meet challenges, and receive feedback may encourage them to persist even when they are working autonomously as in some online environments. Research limitations/implications – This paper is based on an analysis of the design of a single game and has not been formally tested on course design. Some suggestions may be easier to implement in courses than others. Practical implications – The paper offers 14 structural, three social, four cognitive, and six social design strategies that can be implemented in course design as a way to potentially enhance learner engagement and learning outcomes. Originality/value – No published research exists that connects game design and course design in this fashion.

Abstract:
Este artigo investiga questões relativas às implicações da representatividadede gênero na interface visual do jogo Candy Crush Saga, a partir de um estudo de caso. Embora de aparência associada ao gênero feminino, o jogo sugere o rompimento de estereótipos, ao passo em que engaja jogadores de diferentes gêneros e subjuga a perspectiva de estereotipias fixas. Neste horizonte, uma pesquisa com 20 indivíduos foi realizada com o uso de questionário online, a fim de identificar preferências no que toca a interface visual e as mecânicas de jogo – a maneira como é jogado. O que destaca as relações entre a identidade visual do jogo, sua mecânica e o engajamento dos jogadores quanto aos possíveis estereótipos de gênero. Os resultados evidenciaram que o jogo promove a aderência de diferentes gêneros, corroborando que a categoria “gênero” é um construto social efêmero, constatação que pode orientar as práticas pedagógicas quanto da utilização de jogos em sala de aula.

Abstract:
Dark game design patterns are features used by game creators to manipulate the player to make certain choices. These patterns can lead to unintentional player actions causing negative experiences. In this descriptive user experience study, focused on the mobile game Candy Crush Saga, the dark patterns’ effect on desirability (whether something is fun and engaging) and the players’ decision to quit or continue to be a player due to the patterns were investigated. An online survey, where the participants were asked about their feelings towards five different dark patterns identified within Candy Crush Saga, was conducted and distributed by using Google Forms and Facebook. The survey received 60 responses from current and previous players of the game. The sample was not controlled and rather homogeneous, therefore it was not necessarily representative of the entire Candy Crush Saga audience. The analysis of the gathered data indicated correlation between the use of certain types of dark patterns and decreased desirability. Some variation could be detected between the effects of different dark patterns. Similarly, certain patterns had a stronger impact on the players’ decision to quit being a player and other patterns on the choice to continue. Four out of the five patterns studied were indicated as both a reason to quit for some and a reason to continue for others.  The results offer insight to game developers and businesses about the previously insufficiently studied connection between the dark game design patterns and their direct effects to the users’ perceived experience. It is apparent that a decrease in the use of certain dark patterns would contribute to  a more positive playing experience.

Abstract:
This degree project presents a reinforcement learning (RL) approach called deep Q-network (DQN) for learning how to play the game Candy Crush Friends Saga (CCFS). The DQN algorithm is implemented together with three extensions, which in 2015 resulted in a new state-of-the-art on the Atari 2600 domain. This thesis shows that DQN in combination with the three extensions is an appropriate method for learning how to play CCFS. The influence that each of the extensions has on the performance is investigated separately, and reasoning for why or why not these extensions make sense in this environment is provided. CCFS is a stochastic game environment with many new features per level. This leads to a challenge when designing the reward function. This thesis investigates the impact of three different reward functions and reflects over why a certain type of design is more relevant. The results presented show that the DQN approach is able to learn a policy that increases its performance compared to that of random game-play. However, at this stage the performance is not yet reaching that of human game-play, but with further research we believe that it is possible.
Det här examensarbetet introducerar djupt Q-nätverk (DQN), ett tillvägagångssätt med förstärkande inlärning (RL), för att lära sig att spela spelet Candy Crush Friends Saga (CCFS). DQN implementeras tillsammans med tre tillägg, som 2015 resulterade i ett nytt toppresultat på Atari 2600-domänen. Detta examensarbete visar att DQN i kombination med de tre tilläggen är en lämplig metod för att lära sig att spela CCFS. Inverkan varje tillägg har på prestationen analyseras separat, och argument för och emot varför dessa tillägg är bra alternativ presenteras. CCFS är ett stokastiskt spel med flera nya element per nivå. Detta inför svårigheter i modelleringen av belöningsfunktionen. Detta examensarbete undersöker tre olika belöningsfunktioner och reflekterar över varför en viss typ av design är mer lämplig. Resultaten visar att DQN kan lära sig beslutstaganden som ökar dess prestation i jämförelse med slumpmässigt spel. Resultaten når i nuläget inte upp till mänsklig prestanda, men medytterligare forskning så tror vi att detta går att uppnå.

There are millions of social network games. It is extremely important that the game developers design their distinct strategies and let their users use their games continually to keep sustainable. There were only a few researches about the social network games so far. This thesis research is to investigate the factors affecting the continuance intention of social network games via perceived playfulness, flow theory, game design attraction and satisfaction with the case of Candy Crush Saga. This study used an online questionnaire to conduct a survey to the Candy Crush Saga users in Taiwan. We collected 357 valid questionnaires and analyzed the collected data by partial least square approach, including descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, validity analysis and path analysis via SPSS 18.0 and Smart PLS 2.0. The results obtained from this study show that Candy Crush Saga users’ perceived playfulness and game design attraction would let users generate immersion; Candy Crush Saga users’ perceived playfulness, immersion and game design attraction have significant effect on their satisfaction and continuance intention. Therefore, the users’ continuance intention would be higher when they have higher perceived playfulness, immersion, game design attraction and satisfaction. Perceived playfulness has the largest positive effect on continuance intention among the antecedent variables. Consequently, if social network games developers increase playfulness of the games could extend users’ continuance intention and the life of the games.
