Abstract:
With the development of the Internet economy, computer games have developed rapidly in recent years. At the same time, with the increasing prosperity of computer games, many infringement problems have also arisen. The concept and classification of computer games and computer game live broadcasts, as well as computer game screens and computer game live broadcasts need to be distinguished. The article lists common problems in the computer game live broadcast industry, which are mainly manifested in the unclear copyright identification and attribution of computer game live broadcasts, and the unclear legal status of the relevant subjects in the computer game live broadcast. It is concluded that whether the computer game live broadcast is a work needs to be specifically defined in conjunction with the live broadcast content. And further put forward suggestions to improve my country’s related protection system of computer game copyright, and promote the development of computer game live broadcast industry.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the images of game and gamers. In the space of literary work, they are arrayed in metaphorical and often demonic raiment, receiving moral-ethical interpretation in one or another way. The problem of game and gamer in criticism was regarded by Y. Mann (“On the Concept of Game as a Literary Image”), V. V. Vinogradov (“Style of the Queen of Spades”), E. Dobin (“Ace and Queen”, A. Pushkin’s “The Queen of Spades”), R. Caillois (“Games and People”), British writer and researcher of online games R, Bartle, American scientist Nick Yee, and many others. However, juxtaposition of literature sources on the topic to the research in the field of computer games is conducted for the first time. The scientific novelty consists in the comprehensive examination of the psychological game of the gamer based on the material of Russian literature (A. S. Pushkin “The Queen of Spades”, V. V. Nabokov The Luzhin Defense”) , as well as the modern computer games practice, in which psychological type of the gamer found its realization and development in accordance with genre diversity. Even the Russian classical literature depict game as an autonomous space that encompasses the gamer, and often has devastating effect on their personality. The author also observes an important characterological trait of the gamer: the conceptual, “literal” perception of the world, which is based on the reception of visual images of the world against verbal. Therefore, the Russian literature alongside the research practice of modern videogames from different angles approach examination of the images of “game and gamer”, cognize the factors and consequences of the problems that emerge in this object field, as well as seek for their solution. The data acquired in the course of the conducted comparative analysis is mutually enriching.

Abstract:
The ruins are a well-studied object in the history of culture. The article examines the ruins not only in terms of established approaches, but also from the perspective of media theory, visual ecology and game studies, new humanities oriented on exploring digital experience. Ruins in computer games, continuing the tradition of artificial ruins in European history, load the digital space with meaning, metaphysics, memory, stitch game and non-game contexts together and become a medium in its purest form — an intermediary that leads the gamer to the fragments of his identity, to the ruins of his inner experience. Digital ruins, fragmentary and partial in nature, reveal to us the pleasure of fragmentation and deconstruction that precede the new assemblage of reality. The article deals in addition with digital catastrophism, eschatology and ruinization in 11 bit studios games — This War of Mine (2014) and Frostpunk (2018).

Abstract:
The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine whether specific attitudes and beliefs among pre-service teachers about the use of computer games in mathematics teaching and learning predict their intention to integrate computer games in future mathematics teaching. Data were collected via a questionnaire from 119 teacher education students in a mathematics methods class at a midwestern USA university. Findings indicate that previous experience of computer gaming, gamer identity, self-efficacy for computer game-based teaching, perceived educational benefits of computer games, and gender stereotypes about computer gaming were significantly related to intention to integrate computer games in future teaching. Multi-level linear regression analysis indicates that self-efficacy, perceived benefits and gender stereotypes did not explain significantly more variance in intention for game integration above and beyond that explained by previous experience of computer gaming and gamer identity. Gender and specialization of the preservice teachers were related to previous experience of computer gaming and gamer identity. The results and educational implications of the study for teacher education and policy making are discussed and limitations of the study are addressed.

Abstract:
Visionaries offer strong claims for the educational benefits of computer games, but there is a need to test those claims with rigorous scientific research and ground them in evidence-based theories of how people learn. Three genres of game research are ( a) value-added research, which compares the learning outcomes of groups that learn academic material from playing a base version of a game to the outcomes of those playing the same game with one feature added; ( b) cognitive consequences research, which compares improvements in cognitive skills of groups that play an off-the-shelf game to the skill improvements of those who engage in a control activity; and ( c) media comparison research, which compares the learning outcomes of groups that learn academic material in a game to the outcomes of those who learn with conventional media. Value-added research suggests five promising features to include in educational computer games: modality, personalization, pretraining, coaching, and self-explanation. Cognitive consequences research suggests two promising approaches to cognitive training with computer games: using first-person shooter games to train perceptual attention skills and using spatial puzzle games to train two-dimensional mental rotation skills. Media comparison research suggests three promising areas where games may be more effective than conventional media: science, mathematics, and second-language learning. Future research is needed to pinpoint the cognitive, motivational, affective, and social processes that underlie learning with educational computer games.

Abstract:
Competitive computer games are challenging domains for artificial intelligence techniques. In such games, human players often resort to strategies, or game-playing policies, to guide their low-level actions. In this research, we propose a computational version of this behavior, by modeling game playing as an algorithm selection problem: agents must map game states to algorithms to maximize their performance. By reasoning over algorithms instead of low-level actions, we reduce the complexity of decision making in computer games. With further simplifications on the state space of a game, we were able to discuss game-theoretic concepts over aspects of real-time strategy games, as well as generating a game-playing agent that successfully learns how to select algorithms in AI tournaments. We plan to further extend the approach to handle incomplete-information settings, where we do not know the possible behaviors of the opponent.

Abstract:
Research on the effects of playing video games has been limited by a preoccupation with possible negative repercussions. Nevertheless, research has shown that video games can have positive effects on young players’ social lives. The existing body of research, however, has largely ignored the more computer-related aspects of video game play and its effects. This study provides empirical evidence to support theoretical arguments about the relationship between playing video games and computers. The type of scientific thinking encouraged by video games and the technological abilities needed to play video games is suggested to result in an increase in players’ confidence with computers and interest in computer science. These potential relationships are examined using data from over 1,000 undergraduate students to empirically assess the relationship between video game play and: 1) confidence with computers, and 2) interest in computer science. The results indicate that game play is statistically significant as a predictor of confidence and interest. In comparison to the other predictors in the model, the strength of the effect from playing video games is relatively very strong. The findings suggest that exposure to video games as a recreational technology help inform players’ abilities with non-recreational technology and build an interest in technology in general.

Abstract:
Design patterns are widely used in game design, especially in action games. Design patterns can be seen as a group of concluded gameplay. A stealth game is a video game genre that rewards the player for using stealth (conceal avatar of player in order to avoid enemies) to overcome antagonists. In some cases there is a conflict between difficulty and game experience in stealth game. In order to solve this problem, we researched design patterns in stealth games. We observed a set of stealth game design patterns from three different stealth games. The collection used a different template of game design pattern.Then we created a questionnaire to collect opinions from designers that have experience in stealth game area. Based on such data, we designed and created a prototype of application. Unlike other websites or books, the application shown game design pattern for a single type of game(stealth game). From the application designers can check stealth game design patterns based on design document. The application can introduce stealth game design patterns to designers, and show how to use them in stealth game design.

Abstract:

This thesis presents an analysis of 184 of the best selling PC games from 1985 to 2009. Results show that 92% of the analyzed games support singleplayer game mode, and roughly 7% are massive multiplayer online games (MMOGs). The latter game type is represented by 100% role-playing games. The action and strategy genres are each represented as the primary game genre in around 1/3 of the games. Results indicate that the popularity of game genres vary with game platform (PC vs. consoles). Moreover, franchises, games with expansion(s) or in series, dominate the compiled best seller list. Furthermore, this thesis contributes with case studies explaining the business models of three different games (World of Warcraft, Anarchy Online and FarmVille), created by three distinct game companies (Blizzard, Funcom and Zynga). The three business models are presented using the business model ontology defined by Osterwalder in his PhD dissertation. The product, customer relationship, infrastructure, and the various revenue models available to game publishers, are among the elements explained and studied in detail.

Abstract:
The term "serious games" became popularized in 2002 as a result of an initiative to promote the use of games for education, training, and other purposes. Today, many companies are using games for training and development, often with hefty price tags. For example, the development budget for the U.S. Army recruiting game, "America's Army" was estimated at $7 million. Given their increasing use and high costs, it is important to understand whether game-based learning systems perform as billed. Research suggests that games do not always increase learning outcomes over conventional instruction. However, certain game features (e.g., rules/goals, fantasy, challenge) might be more beneficial for increasing learner motivation and learning outcomes than other game features. This study manipulated two specific game features: multimedia-based fantasy (vs. text-based fantasy) and reward (vs. no reward) in a computer-based training program on employment law. Participants (N=169) were randomly assigned to one of the four experimental conditions or to a traditional computer-based training condition. Contrary to hypotheses, the traditional PowerPoint-like version was found to lead to better declarative knowledge outcomes on the learning test than the most game-like version, although no differences were found between conditions on any of the other dependent variables. Participants in all conditions were equally motivated to learn, were equally satisfied with the learning experience, completed an equal number of practice exercises, performed equally well on the declarative knowledge and skill-based practice, and performed equally well on the skill-based learning test. This suggests that adding the "bells and whistles" of game features to a training program won't necessarily improve learner motivation and training outcomes.

Abstract:

This report is the result of a computer architecture simulation game development project. The goals of the project were to develop conceptual ideas for a game that could be used in teaching computer architecture at a university level and develop a prototype of game. The game should be based on simulation and the BSPlab simulator. Two types of simulation games were identified; observer and participant. The observer type puts the player outside the simulation and the participant type puts the player inside the simulation. The observer type of simulation game was selected as best suited for a game about computer architecture and simulation. Three conceptual ideas for types of observer simulation games were developed; Computer Tycoon, which puts the player in charge of a company. Computer Manager, which puts the player in the role of manager of a computer team and Computer Builder, which lets the player construct a computer city. The Computer Manager idea was developed further. The player is put in the role of the manager of a computer team. The team competes in a league against other teams, playing a series of matches against each other. A ranking system shows how well the teams have done and in the end of the series a winner will be declared. This is similar to a football-league. A simple prototype of the Computer Manager idea was designed and implemented in Java for use in evaluation of the idea.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the use of machine learning techniques in computer games to create a computer player that adapts to its opponent's game-play. This includes first confirming that machine learning algorithms can be integrated into a modern computer game without have a detrimental effect on game performance, then experimenting with different machine learning techniques to maximize the computer player's performance. Experiments use three machine learning techniques; static prediction models, continuous learning, and reinforcement learning. Static models show the highest initial performance but are not able to beat a simple opponent. Continuous learning is able to improve the performance achieved with static models but the rate of improvement drops over time and the computer player is still unable to beat the opponent. Reinforcement learning methods have the highest rate of improvement but the lowest initial performance. This limits the effectiveness of reinforcement learning because a large number of episodes are required before performance becomes sufficient to match the opponent.

Abstract:
Kunskapen om TV- och datorspelmissbruk bland ungdomar är idag väldigt begränsad. Stillasittande/fysisk inaktivitet, som TV- och datorspel ofta innebär och som kan innebära negativa konsekvenser, blir allt vanligare. En semistrukturerad intervjustudie har genomförts på sju män i åldersgruppen 17-29 år i syfte att undersöka drivkrafterna bakom mäns spelbeteende i tonåren. Dessutom har information om spelmissbruk bland ungdomar inhämtats av fyra yrkesverksamma inom spelområdet. Detta samt kopplingar mellan TV- och datorspel och spel om pengar har gjorts p g a bristen på forskning om TV- och datorspel. De före detta spelmissbrukarna har kategoriserats som fritidsspelare och spelproblematiker (som lyckats sluta missbruka spel på egen hand), samt spelberoende, som fått avstå helt från spel för att få ett slut på sitt missbruk, medan övriga än idag kan spela i måttlig och ytterst liten mängd. Verklig och upplevd kontroll över sig själva och omgivningen har varit viktiga determinanter för informanternas spelmissbruk. Anledningarna till att de slutade/minskade på spelandet är att de i huvudsak tappade intresset för spel (dock inte helt), fick andra prioriteringar och/eller inte ville få återfall där de återgår till sitt gamla missbruksbeteende. Spelandet har haft en funktion som flykt från en problematisk livssituation, vilken med tiden endast förvärrats för de spelberoende parallellt med missbruket. Även upplevelsen av direkt, tillfällig tillfredsställelse har varit en stor drivkraft samtidigt som det har lett till spelmissbruket. Det tidsödande fritidsintresset fick konsekvenser på den psykiska och fysiska hälsan och beteendet, utvecklingen, relationer till närstående, familjesituationen, skolgången, den sociala etableringen samt den socioekonomiska situationen, vilket sammanfattningsvis ledde till att informanterna utvecklade en ohälsosam och ofta destruktiv livsstil.
The knowledge of computer- and video game abuse and addiction among young people is very limited today. The sedentary lifestyle and physical inactivity that computer- and video games often involve can have negative consequences, and are becoming more common. A semi-structured interview was conducted on seven men between the ages of 17-29 in order to examine the driving forces behind men’s gaming behavior in their adolescence. In addition, information about game abuse among young people was gathered from professionals in the area of computer- and video games. This and links between computer- and video games and gambling have been made due to the lack of research on video and computer games. The former video game addicts have been categorized as recreational players, game problematics (who by themselves managed to stop abusing games) and game addicts, who have completely abstained from gaming to put an end to their addiction, while the others still play moderately and very little today. Actual and perceived control over themselves and their environment has been important determinants for the player’s former addiction. The reason why they stopped/decreased the gaming is essentially because they lost interest in games (not completely though), got other priorities and/or did not want to relapse and return to old problematic behavior. Gaming as an escape from a problematic life situation was a common feature among the addicts. The situation for the game addicts only worsened with time along with their game abuse. Although the experience of direct, incidental satisfaction has been a major driving force, it simultaneously led to game abuse. The time-consuming leisure activity had consequences on the mental and physical health, behavior and social development, as well as on the relationships to relatives, family situation, school attendance, social establishment and socioeconomic situation. To sum up, the informants developed an unhealthy and often destructive lifestyle because of the game habits.

Abstract:
In modern computer games, `bots' - Intelligent realistic agents play a prominent role in success of a game in the market. Typically, bots are modeled using finite-state machine and then programmed via simple conditional statements which are hard-coded in bots logic. Since these bots have become quite predictable to an experienced games' player, a player might lose interest in the game. We propose the use of a game theoretic based learning rule called Fictitious Play for improving behavior of these computer game bots which will make them less predictable and hence, more enjoyable to a game player.

Full text
Abstract:
This doctoral research aimed to investigate how subject matter experts (SMEs) and game experts can collaborate to design and develop games for use in formal educational contexts. The research began with a literature review of key concepts and issues associated with game-based learning (GBL), which led to the process of defining and redefining the overarching research question, along with its scope and position in academia. A three-phase strategy was adopted to segregate the research into exploratory, confirmative and explanatory phases, wherein each phase comprised interrelated studies. These studies were integrated through the Spiral Research model to enable temporal focus shift, cross-case analyses and cross-case syntheses. In the exploratory studies, the perceived potentials of games and GBL in the formal educational context were examined revealing the differing views between SMEs and game experts. This in turn guided the conduct of the confirmative studies which compared the attitude of SMEs and game experts in both the 'usual' and the 'ideal' conditions towards GBL practice and collaboration that involves teachers, SMEs and educational game experts. Two questionnaire surveys were carried out, and the findings revealed that, under ideal conditions, both SMEs and game experts held positive attitudes to GBL—the games used, the teachers who use games in teaching, the studios that develop educational games, and the collaboration between SMEs and game experts. However, the respondents were uncertain whether the perceived 'ideal' GBL conditions were usually the case or not. Follow-up interviews were conducted in the explanatory phase in order to uncover the reasons behind these changes in attitudes. While a variety of reasons were found and presented as parts of the findings of the research, particularly the challenges faced in GBL practice and the problems encountered in GBL collaboration, this thesis asserts that effective communication between SMEs and game experts is the key success factor in resolving issues associated with GBL. Besides, there was a pressing need for models of GBL collaboration; hence the integrated GBL model was also developed. The model not only incorporates GBL practice into GBL collaboration, but also highlights the importance of effective communication in those processes. Despite being limited by methodological constraints and available resources, both the Spiral Research model and the integrated GBL collaboration model have made substantial contributions to the research into GBL, particularly for formal educational contexts.

Abstract:
AbstractWe present a causality-based algorithm for solving two-player reachability games represented by logical constraints. These games are a useful formalism to model a wide array of problems arising, e.g., in program synthesis. Our technique for solving these games is based on the notion of subgoals, which are slices of the game that the reachability player necessarily needs to pass through in order to reach the goal. We use Craig interpolation to identify these necessary sets of moves and recursively slice the game along these subgoals. Our approach allows us to infer winning strategies that are structured along the subgoals. If the game is won by the reachability player, this is a strategy that progresses through the subgoals towards the final goal; if the game is won by the safety player, it is a permissive strategy that completely avoids a single subgoal. We evaluate our prototype implementation on a range of different games. On multiple benchmark families, our prototype scales dramatically better than previously available tools.

Abstract:
Today, mass media constitute the widespread sharing, transmission and transmission channels of societies, and games played on the computer, which is a mass communication tool, are also accepted as an important media tool. These games are an activity tool where individuals of all ages, especially the young generation, evaluate their spare time, relieve stress and participate to have fun. Since computer games have become widespread, they have gained popularity day by day as they have the opportunity to convey personal ideas and ideologies of individuals. In this context, the national feelings of individuals also manifest themselves in games. The nationalistic attitudes and behaviors of individuals, which are revealed by computer games, which are one of the most popular technological developments of the 21st century, constitute the subject of the research. In this context, Mobile Legends, one of the most played games in the world, was selected and the user dialogues with the winners of the game in Turkey gave direction to the research. The fact that the communities in the game are divided according to nationalities and compete with the flags of their own country has been important for the selection of the game. The relationship of the individual with the flag has been revealed by the analyzes taken from the Turkey Values Research.

Abstract:
Today’s youth has become accustomed to and skilled in computer gaming. The potential use of multi-player computer games as an educational tool has drawn significant attention. Computer games exhibit several features that could provide the students with an effective learning experience. This paper introduces different methodologies for adopting computer game technologies such as the “Source” game engine (used in “Half-Life 2”) and “Second Life” to develop game-based interactive student laboratory environments. A number of predefined scenarios can be scripted which exercise the students’ problem solving skills by mimicking typical problems that might occur when carrying out actual hands-on experiments in a traditional student laboratory. The suitability of several gaming platforms for implementing such laboratory environments is discussed. The article concludes with some observations on the most relevant aspects of game platforms that can help to create engaging and effective digital learning environments to support engineering laboratories.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTPrevious research shows that the involvement of games as an educationalresource can generate good results, and some studiesdemonstrate the use of games as an auxiliary tool in learning respectfor rules, tasks, and values. However, the ethical-moral valuesapproach in learning is not a simple task, but some works demonstratethat games embody human values. In the literature, there aretheoretical studies on the use of games in education, but there is aneed for more practical assessments to verify the validity of existingconcepts. This research aims to propose recommendations for developingan educational game for children aged 10 to 12 years withcontent that encourages ethical-moral values and the developmentand evaluation of a game prototype for the target audience. First,we conducted a semi-structured interview with elementary educationteachers. Later, these teachers also answered a questionnaireafter interacting with the first version of the game prototype. Fromthe results found, it was possible to draw up recommendationsfor a game that meets the specific research audience, such as: thegame should have different avatars for the player to choose from,the game should be collaborative, the game should address currentissues. The recommendations can help develop digital games thatencourage elementary education students to become interested ineducational games with a focus on ethical-moral values.

Abstract:
Games have been part of people's lives as something common since early childhood, being used for entertaining and diverse content. In areas that have curricular components in basic education, games can be used as a complementary object to the teaching, bringing a new perspective on the understanding of certain concepts to the regular education. The Computer Science, as it does not have a curricular component in regular education, has its teaching with trend to occur only in technical or undergraduate degree. In this sense, university project initiatives for the community can collaborate with teaching, or at least, with the popularization of the area. Thus, this work proposes to present a board game that has the objective of teaching Computer Science concepts, more specifically on the functioning of physical components of computers - hardware of computer machines -, for students at elementary school. The board game, the planning for its use, a questionnaire to verify the perception and previous knowledge of participating students are presented, in addition to the results of a pedagogical intervention carried out with 26 students of basic education. As preliminary results, it was found that the game promotes engagement, stimulates curiosity and motivation, increasing interest in computational content, even though these are abstract concepts for school-age children. The game will be made available in an online repository, seeking its greater use, as well as its application for more students of basic education.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe growing market for electronic games reaches millions of peopleevery day. Although women represent approximately half ofusers in this sector, the gaming world is still seen predominantlyas male. This situation happens both in digital game design and incareers concerning game development. The gaming market slowlytakes women into account but still has a game design grounded onstereotyped gender characteristics. This work describes a SystematicLiterature Review (SLR) to identify characteristics of digitalgames suitable for female audiences, seek motivations for the girls´involvement in the field of Computing through digital games, andresearch information about games used for motivating women tobecome interested in Computing. We selected twenty-one relevantstudies related to the objective of thiswork. The results obtained canbe helpful for the development of new games focused on women,indirectly contributing to the increased interest of the female publicin the field of Computing.

Abstract:
This paper reveals the process of creating a career guidance 3D quest game for applicants who aim to apply for IT departments. The game bases on 3D model of computer science and information technologies department in the National Aerospace University “Kharkiv Aviation Institute”. The quest challenges aim to assess the digital competency level of the applicants and first- year students. The paper features leveraged software tools, development stages, implementation challenges, and the gaming application scenario. The game scenario provides for a virtual tour around a department of the 3D university. As far as the game replicates the real-life objects, applicants can see the department's equipment and class-rooms. For the gaming application development team utilized С# and C++, Unity 3D, and Source Engine. For object modeling, we leveraged Hammer Editor, Agisoft PhotoScan Pro, and the photogrammetry technology, that allowed for realistic gameplay. Players are offered various formats of assessment of digital competencies: test task, puzzle, assembling a computer and setting up an IT-specialist workplace. The experiment conducted at the open house day proved the 3D quest game efficiency. The results of digital competence evaluation do not depend on the testing format. The applicants mostly preferred to take a 3D quest, as more up-to-date and attractive engagement.
