Abstract:

Pythia is a programming game that allows the player to change pieces of theirenvironment through use of the programming language Python. The idea is that thegame could be used as a part of teaching simple programming to &#64257;rst year universitystudents. The game should be fun enough for the students to keep playing, teachenough for it to earn a place as a teaching tool, and it should be usable by allstudents. It should also be possible for a teacher to create their own content for thegame.Pythia was implemented by extending the Python-interpreter Jython and building a game around it. Th

Abstract:

There is a high demand for program developers, but the dropouts from computer science courses are also high and course enrolments keep decreasing. In order to overcome that situation, several studies have found serious games as good tools for education in programming learning. As an outcome from such research, several game solutions for programming learning have appeared, each of them using a different approach. Some of these games are only used in the research field where others are published in commercial stores. The problem with commercial games is that they do not offer a clear map of the

The scrolling shooter was to be like the scrolling shooter from the tutorial GM Tutorial Scrolling Shooter[1]. The strategy game was to be like an existing game called Ancient War[2]. There were some additional requirements that the games had to fulfill. The games were created using

In this work we present Casanova, a programming language. Its novelty lies in the fact that it was designed with an exclusive focus on making games. The goal of Casanova is to change the landscape of game development, by show-ing how programming languages, and not game engines and game development sys-tems, are the real frontier to explore in order to make game development truly easier. In this work we do not just show Casanova. We also present an extensive eval-uation of our own experience in using the current implementation of Casanova in order to build games and simulations.

Abstract:

Introductory, first-year programming classes are challenging for many students. Unlike other first year science courses, computer science is not required for entry to most first-year science programs, and students struggle with bug hunting and code planning, especially if they have never programmed before. This thesis introduces the development of a web-based educational game, called Code Age, as a tool for supporting the learning of basic programming concepts. Code Age is a mini-game style game designed to be used at the students convenience, and currently consists of three minigames related

The system includes predefined programming constructs in order to make game development faster and easier.The conclusion of this thesis work is that the presented problem, while theoretically possible to solve, would introduce too many practical problems during the game development.

Abstract:

We analyse the semantics of aspect-oriented extensions to functional languages by presenting compositional translations of these primitives into languages with traditional notions of state and control. As a first step, we examine an existing semantic description of aspects which allows the labelling of program points. We show that a restriction of these semantics to aspects which do not preempt the execution of code can be fully abstractly translated into a functional calculus with higher order references, but that removing this restriction requires a notion of exception handling to be added t

Cancer is one of the biggest challenges in healthcare. Fast diagnosis and personalized pharmacological therapies are essential for lowering the mortality rate. In this thesis, we propose a general-purpose model for cancer and an optimal control strategy to minimize its volume. Firstly, we analyze the literature about cancer in the System and Control community and produce a taxonomy of cancer typologies. We identify four main behaviors arising in these models: growth, mutation, migration, and drug response. After this preliminary analysis, we propose a cancer treatment model based on Ordinary D

However, when all of them have such thoughts, conflicts (dilemmas) are embedded in their interactions, leading to unexpected consequences for the whole traffic.

Abstract:

This thesis is aimed at the optimum design of uncertain mechanical components and systems involving multiple objectives and constraints. There are various mechanical and design problems that are encountered every now and then which require the output that equalize several conflicting objectives. In recent years several methods have been developed to find a solution to multiobjective problems. The most efficient method for obtaining a compromise solution is the game theory method, which is based on the Pareto minimum or optimum solution. A thorough methodology is developed, and subsequently app

Abstract:

In this dissertation, I study two topics in the context of revenue management. The First topic involves building a mathematical model to analyze the competition between many retailers who can change the price of their respective products in real time. I develop a game-theoretic model for the dynamic price competition where each retailer's objective is to maximize its own expected total revenue. I use the Nash equilibrium to predict market equilibrium and provide managerial insights into how each retailer should take into account its competitors' behavior when setting the price. The second top

Abstract:

Neste documento foi feita a apresentação do conceito de Programação Visual, estudados alguns exemplos de Linguagens de Programação Visual e investigado vantagens e desvantagens sobre o seu uso comparativamente à programação tradicional (por texto) e, adicionalmente, foram estudados três jogos para aprender a programar com fortes características visuais. A partir desta investigação, foi criada uma nova Linguagem de Programação Visual(LPV) sendo a base de um prototipo de um jogo para aprender a programar. Este jogo é representado pela deslocação e execução de tarefas feitas por um robô dentro de

Abstract:

Given mobile devices’ weak computational power, game programmers must learn to create games with simple graphics that are engaging and easy to play. Though seldom created for phones and tablets, puzzle games are a perfect fit. In recent years, the genre has gained a following and even won some acclaim. Games like Myst, The Seventh Guest and Portal all engage gamers with challenging puzzles and then reward them with story components upon task fulfillment. Few such games have been created for mobile devices, in part due to the difficulty of developing for devices with different operating systems
