Abstract:

Video games are popular leisure and social activities; however, they often present accessibility issues for the community of gamers who are blind. While gaming technology has evolved, people who are blind still have limited access to commercially available accessible video games. Current accessible games tend to focus on auditory information to play, and none are available in virtual reality (VR). Accessible, fast-paced games have the development challenge of providing players useful information in time to make split-second decisions. We developed Racing in the Dark, a fast-paced, accessible VR racing game for the Oculus Quest, exploring commercial VR interfaces to provide this critical information. By leveraging the Quest’s built-in haptic, tracking, auditory, and voice systems, we provide players with a non-visual car racing experience. This work aims to offer insight into the process of developing accessible VR games for gamers who are blind through the implementation of Racing in the Dark.

Abstract:

We propose a set of path planning tools including path generator, cost map generator, and path editor for racing games. The user can define the race by providing a racetrack as a 3D model and weights of the devised turn and heuristic functions in our system. Then, the proposed cost map generator automatically generates necessary information of the racetrack including cost map and distance to finish of any position on the race track. Different from the traditional A* problem, in our research the obstacles are dynamic and there are multiple sources and destinations. Our approach generates the path of each racer on the basis of time slots to which the path finding method applies on the fly. To further guarantee the quality of the path, we implement path smoothing using a Gaussian filter and provide an off-line path editor that allows users to edit the path in time-space domain intuitively, flexibly, and effectively. Our tools have been verified in a horse racing game to generate natural racer behaviors, demonstrating realistic and exciting racing.

Abstract:

Motorsports games and simulated automobile racing occupy a dynamic genre of computer games for entertaining play, critical game studies and ‘auto-play’. This article utilizes the lens of speculative design to present six scenarios that seek to motivate the design of autonomous eMotorsports games and play experiences through alternative design fictions. These fictions serve to help identify and tease out how different socio-technical configurations emerging around autonomous vehicles, motorsports games, sim racing user interfaces and user experiences, embrace or exclude different stakeholders. These stakeholders can shape how autonomous eMotorsports games, game play and game viewing will emerge and prosper. These fictions also serve as a narrative web of possible socio-technical configurations open to critical review through: (1) transhumanist spectacle and spectating; (2) technofeminist and gendered framings of these configurations; and (3) whether digital artefacts configured to realize autonomous eMotorsports games have politics.

Abstract:

Dynamic difficulty adjustment (DDA) is a highly significant research direction in game AI. Rubber-banding is one of the DDA techniques extensively used in racing games. This paper improves the poor adaptability of the rubber-banding system combined with the game design and development techniques. An Adaptive Rubber-Banding System (ARBS) based on ARBS relationship curve, modular mechanism, as well as detail processing schemes, is implemented in Unreal Engine 4. The paper builds various test programs and compares each system in terms of the number of players, gameplay mode, and track distance. Experimental results demonstrate that ARBS is more adaptive and provides a better experience for players. Game designers and developers are thus able to employ ARBS to design and implement AI systems suitable for racing games effectively.

Abstract:

This paper presents a car racing simulator game calledRacer, in which the human player races a car against three game-controlled cars in a three-dimensional environment. The objective of the game is not to defeat the human player, but to provide the player with a challenging and enjoyable experience. To ensure that this objective can be accomplished, the game incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, which enable the cars to be controlled in a manner that mimics natural driving. The paper provides a brief history of AI techniques in games, presents the use of AI techniques in contemporary video games, and discusses the AI techniques that were implemented in the development ofRacer.A comparison of the AI techniques implemented in the Unity platform with traditional AI search techniques is also included in the discussion.

Abstract:

Among all the operating systems of the smart phone, iOS and Android launched by Apple Inc. and Google Inc. respectively are the most favored ones of the public. By virtue of its beautiful operation interface and good performance, iPhone, developed based oniOS, has an extensive popularity around the world and has accumulated masses of users at home and abroad. This paper is about the development of Flying Car, a racing game developed based on iPhone system. Flying Car applies the built-in gravity sensor of iPhone to controlling the movements of the racing car so as to avoid and overtake enemy racing cars in the game play. This game is designed to attract players by the fast moving speed of the racing car. Based on the settings of traditional racing games, Flying Car was added with some new functions which present great interestingness and entertainment to players. In practice, this racing game adopted cocos2d game engine to process sprite images, and particle effect was also applied to further rendering the picture. Proved by testing, Flying Car is applicable to both a simulator and a real iPhone.

Abstract:

This study investigated the impact of new motion-based video game control systems on spatial presence, perceived reality, and enjoyment of video games. In two experiments, university students played video games on either new motion-based (Sony's Move, Microsoft's Kinect, and Nintendo's Wii), or standard video game systems (PS3 and XBOX 360 with gamepads). The results indicate that, in the context of golf, racing, and boxing games, the higher technological interactivity of motion-based systems (particularly Kinect) increases feelings of spatial presence, perceived reality, and enjoyment. Perceived reality predicted spatial presence; and spatial presence, in turn, was a significant predictor of enjoyment. Moving toward a more natural user interface (NUI) between the player and the game world can create a more immersive, realistic, and fun experience for the player. A new model for enjoyment of motion-based video games is proposed.

Abstract:

Following the 200 metres final in the London Paralympics 2012, athlete Oscar Pistorius criticised the prosthetic leg (‘blade’) length of Alan Oliveira, a fellow athlete and eventual winner of the race, and accused the International Paralympic Committee of failing to implement fair stipulations. Pistorius’ contention directs attention toward an issue largely ignored in the sociological spectrum: the concept of fairness in the sporting arena. Drawing on the accounts of John Rawls (1971) and Amartya Sen (2009) , specifically in terms of considering justice as fairness, we deconstruct the principle of fairness in the Paralympics which is currently framed within scientific discourse determining the validity of both athletes and performance-enhancing technologies. By identifying how the Paralympics adopts a Rawlsian understanding of fairness, we explore the work of Sen to highlight its complexity in this context and the need to retreat from taken-for-granted assumptions informing current knowledge.

Abstract:

This paper discusses risky and uncertain decision-making in the framework of gambling. The well-known anomaly of favourite-longshot bias is considered. We argue that gambling behaviour can be seen as consumption. Thus, gambling behaviour is more than a risky choice. It is reasonable to assume that the price of gambling is the take-out rate or the expected loss. We illustrate, with some elementary gambling, that the gambling markets constitute an environment where risky choices can be measured only with probabilities. Typical gambling behaviour (e.g. horse betting) is modelled by an approach that includes the attractiveness of risk, subjective probability, and the utility of money. We tested the favourite-longshot bias with a large accumulated dataset from Finnish horse race tracks that monitored more than 27,000 races over a five-year period. The empirical results indicate that Finnish gamblers’ behaviour is biased: they gamble too little on favourites and too much on longshots. Our results confirm the universality of the favourite-longshot bias that can be found in Western Europe, Australia and the USA.

Abstract:

Abstract The purpose of this article is to investigate whether competition hypothesis (Anderson and Carnagey, 2009) contributes to the General Aggression Model when video game genre is entered into the relationship between video game use and self-reported physical aggression. A pre-test (n=93) taken randomly from the research sample employed categorized the game genres as violent and/or competitive. 1,170 adolescents (ages 12–18) completed the written survey. Online shooter games and fight’em up games, categorized as both violent and competitive, were positively related to self-reported physical aggression, while simulation games manifested a negative relationship. Video game genres such as strategy, sports, offline shooter, racing, adventure, puzzle, and platform games were not significantly related to physical aggression. The results support the hypothesis that the presence of both competition and violence in games increases the probability of physical aggression. This study shows that (1) video game genres can be used to predict physical aggression in a non-causal way and (2) that there is support for an interaction effect of the competition hypothesis and the violence hypothesis.

Abstract:

Establishing genres is the first step toward analyzing games and how the genre landscape evolves over the years. We use data-driven modeling that distils genres from textual descriptions of a large collection of games. We analyze the evolution of game genres from 1979 till 2010. Our results indicate that until 1990, there have been many genres competing for dominance, but thereafter sport-racing, strategy, and action have become the most prevalent genres. Moreover, we find that games vary to a great extent as to whether they belong mostly to one genre or to a combination of several genres. We also compare the results of our data-driven model with two product databases, Metacritic and Mobygames, and observe that the classifications of games to different genres are substantially different, even between product databases. We conclude with discussion on potential future applications and how they may further our understanding of video game genres.

Abstract:

This article aims to analyse the role of the Alsatian football club Racing Club de Strasbourg throughout the re-establishment process of the French-German football relations after the Second World War. Because of its geographical location between France and Germany and due to the double annexation of the Alsace by the German Reich the club held a special position in the French football landscape. To examine the difficulties and conflicts that came along with the attempt to restore international sport relations between West Germany and France, the paper focuses on three aspects: German prisoners of war in France, efforts to organise football games between French and German top-level-clubs, and the re-establishment of international matches between the two countries. As a result, Racing’s attitude can be situated in a field of tension between hurtful wartime experiences on the one hand and sporting as well as financial benefits on the other hand. While the former was an argument held against an over-hasty spirit of understanding between the French and the German teams especially by the Alsatian Football Association, the latter were a reason for Racing to intensify its pragmatical efforts to re-establish sport relations with West German clubs. This ambivalence is further exemplified by the dualism between Aimé Gissy, secretary general of the Alsatian Football Association (1935-1939, 1945-1974), and Willy Scheuer, president of Racing Club de Strasbourg (1952-1960).

Abstract:

This paper presents a study of the most successful games during the last 34 last years (1986 – 2019). We observed that the 100 most ranked games are represented by 16 genres (adventure, role-playing, shooter, platform, puzzle, strategy, hack and slash/beat 'em up, real time strategy, turn-based strategy, point-and-click, indie, racing, sport, fighting, arcade and simulator). These genres are then compares to show which genres are more attractive for players. As a result, we observed that 6 genres among the 16 represent the most ranked games (adventure, RPG, shooter, platform, puzzle, and strategy). They represent 0.83 of the successful games. This allowed us to recommend to combining the others genres with the 6 selected genres. Also, we analyzed the evolution of the 16 games genres during the last 34 years. We observed that some genres have a great success until the past decades, but they haven’t a success in this decade. Game designers and researchers in the field of games may rethink about how to add attractive elements in the genres non-successful in this decade. Also, we observed that some genres like the indie games haven’t a great success in the past decades, but they have an important increased success in this decade. This may encourage the decision makers and the game designer to invest on these genres.

Abstract:

In the last few years, esports have become popular among older individuals. Although participation in esports can become a novel activity for older adults, evidence on their effects is limited to young individuals. This study investigated the effects of esports participation on the emotional and physiological states of older adults. Twenty-five older men and women participating in health promotion activities in community centers (75 ± 8 years old) played a two-player racing game (Gran Turismo Sport, Sony) for 8–10 min. Their heart rates (HRs) were measured while the subjects played the games. The blood pressure (BP) and Profile of Mood States (POMS) were measured before and after gaming. The average HR during games (98 ± 17 bpm) was significantly higher than at pre-gaming (76 ± 11 bpm, p < 0.001). The BP before and after the games did not significantly change. Interestingly, the vigor scores (positive mood affect) in POMS increased after the games (p < 0.05) in females, but not in males. In summary, among older individuals, playing esports games showed a moderate increase in HR, no spike/drop of BP, and positive mood elevation. Our preliminary data suggest the feasibility of participating in esports in a community for older adults and that it could affect mood positively, especially among older women.

Abstract:

Some of the android-based mobile game genres that are currently very popular such as adventure, first-person shooter, fighting, racing, and others. This development should provide opportunities in the field of education to make games not only for fun but also for education. The purpose of this study was to produce educational games that were valid, practical, and had potential effects to improve the mathematical understanding of the relationship and function of junior high school students. The research method used is RD (research development) using the ADDIE model. The data collection techniques used were documentation, interviews, and tests of mathematical comprehension abilities. The results obtained from the game "The Incredible Boong Gi" are valid with an average of 96.70% of expert validators and media validators. The results of the practicality questionnaire from 9 students averaged 90.32%. The results of data analysis show that educational RPG games have valid, practical criteria and have potential effects. RPG games are valid in terms of relevance, systematics, student-centered compatibility, game design, and compatibility. RPG games get practical results from implementation in small groups. Furthermore, the educational RPG prototype has the potential effect of improving students' mathematical understanding abilities. RPG games provide a fun learning atmosphere, by playing students can also learn. Making RPG games is also not difficult, according to the competence of students to be achieved and challenges the creativity of the teacher.

Abstract:

Abstract The game theory was created on the basis of social as well as gambling games, such as chess, poker, baccarat, hex, or one-armed bandit. The aforementioned games lay solid foundations for analogous mathematical models (e.g., hex), artificial intelligence algorithms (hex), theoretical analysis of computational complexity attributable to various numerical problems (baccarat), as well as illustration of several economic dilemmas - particularly in the case where the winner takes everything (e.g., noughts and crosses). A certain gambling games, such as a horse racing, may be successfully applied to verify a wide spectrum of market mechanism, for example, market effectiveness or customer behavior in light of incoming information regarding a specific product. One of a lot applications of the slot machine (one-armed bandit) is asymptotically efficient allocation rule, which was assigned by T.L. Lai and H. Robbins (1985). In the next years, the rule was developed by another and was named a multi-armed. The aim of the paper is to discuss these social games along with their potential mathematical models, which are governed by the rules predominantly applicable to the social and natural sciences.

Abstract:

A main reason to play computer games is the pleasure of being immersed in a mediated world.Spatial presenceandfloware considered key concepts to explain such immersive experiences. However, little attention has been paid to the connection between the two concepts. Thus, we empirically examined the relationship between presence and flow in the context of a computer role-playing game (), a racing game (), and a jump and run game (). In all three studies, factor analysis revealed that presence and flow are distinct constructs, which do hardly share common variance. We conclude that presence refers to the sensation of being there in the mediated world, whereas flow rather refers to the sensation of being involved in the gaming action. Further analyses showed that flow and presence depend on motivation and immersive tendency. In addition, flow and presence enhanced performance as well as enjoyment.

Abstract:

Background: Nowadays the teens playing outdoor games are difficult to be seen and of course, they play all these games not in reality but in a screen using video games. The biggest revolution in electronic world has put our teens more addicted towards video games which not only affect their academic performance but also have impact on their behaviour and health. The objectives of the study were to assess the pattern of video game usage among the study population; to determine the influence of video game in behaviour of the study population.Methods: The study was conducted as a cross sectional study during January and February 2018, among medical students of tertiary care hospital, Chennai. The data was collected using preformed pretested questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.Results: Out of 211 study participants, majority 168 (80%) were males. Around, 97 (45.9%) participants, liked to play during night hours and most 114 (54.1%) of them preferred adventure and racing games. The change in behavioral patterns like, skipping sleep 20 (25.3%), using bad words 22 (27.8%), betting 40 (50.6%), risky stunts 38 (48.1%) were observed. Around half of the participants 97 (46%) were giving complaints of various health problems like finger pain, 72 (34.1%) wrist pain, 63 (29.8%) neck pain, and 54 (26%) eye pain due to usage of video games.Conclusions: The behavioral patterns explored in this study are alarming which suggest that this age group has to be sensitized on the self control to use the video games.

Abstract:

This article considers the part played by aquadynamics, or a concern for the technical properties of swimming costumes, in the career of Jennie Fletcher (1890–1968) who won Britain’s first individual Olympic female swimming medal (bronze) at the Stockholm Olympic Games in 1912 and contributed to the first women’s team gold in the 4×100 metre Freestyle Relay. Her light silk one-piece racing swimsuit represented a new kind of modernity: the revealed sporting body enabled competitive principles, rather than modesty, to define the appearance of the female swimmer. The article also examines the place of the working-class competitor in our understanding of the early Games, an ‘athletocracy’ where performance, not background, enabled individuals to compete. The work therefore also explores the relevance of Fletcher’s birthplace, Leicester, in the development of amateur and professional swimming and in the production of swmming costumes for both sport and leisure.

Abstract:

Abstract During the practice sessions for the 1932 Olympic bobsled events, Lake Placid’s Mt. Van Hoevenberg slide endured multiple crashes involving over a dozen athletes. An analysis of the slide from inception to construction to competition as well as the resulting management of the accidents produces significant historical insight into the administration of the winter Olympic games. Using David Welky’s paradigm suggesting that the analyses of ordinary Olympic happenings can be used to probe larger issues, this analysis uses the “seemingly mundane” happenings of facility construction and competition to provide historical insight into an attempt to use the Olympics as a promotional springboard to a host city’s future commercial success. As the first sliding facility built in North America dedicated to both an Olympic games and for future commercial programming, this analysis also provides significant historical insight into modern Olympic issues including the fiduciary conundrum of building Olympic facilities with potentially limited post-Olympic commercial possibilities, the sometimes contentious nature of a host city’s environmental stewardship and the final location of those facilities as it pertains to the facilities’ future commercial success, and the nationalistic-laden gamesmanship that often plays out on these facilities during the administration of practice sessions and Olympic competition that can result in decision-making that potentially jeopardizes the safety of the athlete.

Abstract:

We investigate the sources of betting constructions, and specifically their predicates. The notion of risking something of value on an outcome is a complex one. Culturally, some degree of disposability of property is required. The concept is nevertheless lexicalized in many parts of the world. Betting takes various forms, ranging from betting between individuals, which we contend is the basic case, to betting in the context of an institution such as horse racing, cockfighting, lotteries, or on games such as card games. Taking a similar approach to Zalizniak (2008), we use polysemy as a means of investigating etymology. A sample of 271 polysemous predicates from 177 languages are surveyed, where one sense is BET. Treating relevant other senses as earlier senses, we find that the most frequent source concepts are ones that profile (in Langacker’s 2008 sense) the relation between the bettor and the stake. The most frequent are SECURITY and PUT. Other important sources, profiling instead the relation between the bettors, are ARGUE, COMPETE and AGREE.

Abstract:

Aim: In this study, athletes' views on digital games during the pandemic process were examined. Methods: x The sample of the study consists of 1521 (927 Male, 594 Female) athletes who continue their activities in different branches. The research is a screening model and has a descriptive quality. As a data collection tool, an online questionnaire form which questioned the demographic information of the participants, their frequency of playing digital games and the types of games they played was used. The SPSS package program was used to analyze the data and significance was accepted as p <0.05. Results: According to the results of the research, 60.9% of the participants were male, 35.5% were between the ages of 21-30, 59.2% were students and 61.5% were undergraduate and postgraduate athletes. When looking at the frequency of playing the game, 32.5% of them played with medium frequency. It was determined that athletes played games via a mobile phone at a higher rate than a desktop computer. In the answers given to the playing times during the pandemic process, "yes" was determined as 50.2%. Those who played 3 hours or more in daily playing time in pandemic were determined as 21.6%. In the pandemic, it was determined that the athletes played strategy, war, sportive games, backgammon-rummikub-chess, car racing and fighting games, respectively. Horror and role playing games were played at low rates. Considering the relationship between the age level of the athletes participating in the study and the types of the games, the rate of playing strategy games increased as the age got older, and young people between the ages of 21-30 played war games at higher rates. Internet usage rate of undergraduate and postgraduates of the participants was determined as 61.5%. Considering the educational status and the types of the games they played, it was determined that they played games such as strategy, war, sportive games and backgammon-rummikub-chess at high rates. The higher the education level, the higher the rate of watching horror movies was. In addition, considering participants' sportive level and the types of games they played, it was determined that the trainers preferred sports and strategy games at higher rates. Considering the sportive level and the types of games played, it was determined that the athletes played games such as backgammon- rummikub -chess at lower rates. Conclusion: As a result; some changes were observed in athletes' lifestyles in the research group with the pandemic process, and the duration spent at home and playing games increased. In this context, it is considered that encouraging sports activities preventing inactivity at home during the pandemic process will positively affect the health of individuals.

Abstract:

Roman ludi circenses are well known, especially chariot-racing, which was extremely popular during the Roman Empire. In many aspects, this competition even foreshadows modern sport seen as show business (the Circus Maximus could accommodate about 150,000 spectators). One could not say the same thing about the athletic exercises of Roman citizens: the common view is that Romans had a negative attitude towards athletics, which were not regarded as useful and were sometimes considered as scandalous. But Roman citizens did, in fact, practise much sport, for instance in the Campus Martius in Rome, and in the palaestrae of public baths. They were particularly fond of ball-games and of swimming in very large cold pools.

Abstract:

Game is an entertainment facility that contains games using electronic devices which involve players who make decisions through control of game objects for certain purposes, known as users. The game growth industry has developed especially in a variety of types of games which include Maze Game, Board Game, Card Game, Battle Card Game, Quiz Game, Puzzle Game, Shooting Game, First Person Shooting (FPS), Side Scrolling Game, Fighting Game , Racing Game, Simulation, Strategy Game, Role Playing Game (RPG), Adventures Game, Sport Game, and Edutainment Game. In Indonesia itself, there are a variety of online games that have sprung up, among the many types of online games that are currently being talked about is the "Among Us" game. In the process of designing and developing the concept of a game, it is very important to get to know the user who is expected to be able to play the designed game. So that it can be seen the user's process in interpreting a game, this can be explored with various approaches, one of which is using reception analysis theory. Reception Study (study of acceptance) is one that develops in cultural studies, which focuses on messages or communication discourses and has implications for audiences. In this study, the game "Among Us" contained a narrative or storyline that was presented as well as a visualization of the character design of this game. The goal to be achieved in this research is to find out the meaning of players towards the Among Us game by using a Reception Study (acceptance study) which will focus on interpretive meanings and experiences of users or game users in interacting with game media.

Abstract:

The triathlon Mixed-Team-Relay (MTR) is a new race format present for the first time at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021. The results of the ITU Triathlon Mixed Relay World Championship from 2014 to 2019 were collected to provide practical suggestions for forming a successful MTR, such as the importance of each leg and discipline on MTR and Super-Sprint performance. The total relay time (Trelay), the time of each team member (leg-from 1 to 4) (Tleg), and the time of each single discipline (swim, T1, cycle, T2, run) were collected from the official website. Inferential analysis was performed to assess prediction and differences between variables. Leg 3 was shown to be the most important to predict Trelay (0.41), which is also the slower. For both Trelay and Tleg, cycling resulted as the most important (>0.60) and longer (~52%) portion, followed by running and swimming. However, higher importance in swimming was found in successful teams compared to running. For a successful MTR, we suggest: (a) use short-distance specialized triathletes; (b) strengthen cycling and swimming; (c) position in legs 1 and 2 athletes capable of racing in a group; in legs 3 and 4 athletes capable of racing in a non-drafting situation.

Abstract:

In everyday life, a human cannot be separated from playing games. Sack racing is a traditional game played by jumping and wearing a sack until reaching the finish line. In this study, we made a waist motion sensor device using the Kalman filter method, where the sensor will be attached to the waist and record the user's jump movement. This tool will be implemented in sack racing using Unity3d. The Kalman filter method reduces noise in the data to display the appropriate movement. We use NodeMCU ESP32 to transmit data wirelessly. All data are saved in the Antares web server. We made this game using Unity3d and TPP (Third Person Perspective) mode. After testing, it was found that the tool can work well to send 598 data in 5 minutes block. The average delay for sending and receiving data is 1 second. For the Arduino local delay and the Antares web server, it is 3.05 seconds. While the jump axis reference obtained the pitch axis with a percentage of 100% and the average upper limit deviation pitch of 5.3443 degrees, the result is used as a threshold on Unity3d. This threshold on upper limit deviation and the Kalman filter method effectively detect all jumps (100%) without any error.
