A growing body of research has focused on the negative effects of Internet gaming. This issue has become an increased public health concern in Korea. However, little is known regarding the positive effect of Internet gaming and its etiology. This study examined the effects of gaming motivations on gaming behaviors based on self-determination theory. Specifically, we investigated the associations of intrinsic and extrinsic gaming motivations with adaptive and maladaptive game uses. A cross-sectional data collected from a sample of 3,000 young adults using 2016 Korean Video Gaming Survey was analyzed. Measurement model analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted as primary analyses. The findings highlight the different effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations on gaming behaviors, such as adaptive and maladaptive game uses. Intrinsic motivations, such as experience-seeking and achievement-seeking, were associated with adaptive game use. Meanwhile, extrinsic motivations, such as sensation-seeking and monetary reward-seeking, were associated with maladaptive game use. The findings provide a better understanding of video gaming in light of both adaptive and maladaptive game uses. The implications for practice and policy were discussed.

The game was mainly developed using the C/C++ language and DirectX in the current computer and mobile field. But, if we use these limited language, we can suppress a diversity of game engine when we design various game engines. In this paper, we wanted to develop the game us ing the Java to use the limited game development language with some variety and designed and developed the airplane combat game, the metaverse game engine as the game for the reuse and the extensibility of the code in the game engine us ing the re-use of the code of the features in the Java.

This paper mainly focused on research developing online game characteristic evaluation system based on game characteristic evaluation model design. Online game characteristic evaluation system is a system that evaluates game online in real-time using evaluation elements defined by model design. Game characteristic evaluation system uses heuristic evaluation method, which is used to execute evaluation in four parts, technical element, manage element, social element, and competitive element. To verify objectivity and validity of game characteristic evaluation, assessment was performed by three groups of beginners, intermediates, and professionals to increase the trust. And game characteristic evaluation forum was hosted to collect opinion from diverse classes.

최근 과학기술의 발달에 따른 컴퓨터 산업의 대중화로 각 가정마다 컴퓨터 1대씩은 필수로 보유하고 있다. 이러한 추세에 따라 초등학교 교육과정에도 재량활동으로 ICT 교육을 체계 있게 실시할 수 있도록 하고 있다. 하지만 컴퓨터를 가지고 정보를 활용하는 순기능을 잃어버리고 역기능이 학습지도와 생활지도의 문제로 등장했으며 컴퓨터 게임으로 인해 수많은 부정적인 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 전국 여러 곳에서 초등학교의 고학년 학생들의 자료를 수집한 다음 이것을 특별시 광역시지역, 중 소도시지역, 읍 면지역으로 구분한 후 학생들의 컴퓨터 게임 사용 실태를 알아보고, 컴퓨터 게임 중독 측정도구를 사용하여 컴퓨터 게임 중독의 유무를 파악하며, 컴퓨터 게임 중독에 영향을 미치는 여러 요인들을 찾아보았다. 중독이 되는 요인으로는 남학생일수록, 학교 성적이 낮을수록, 게임 사용 경력이 오랠수록, 게임 사용 빈도가 높을수록, 게임 사용 시간이 많을수록, 공격성과 충동성이 높을수록, 자기통제가 안 될수록, 부모로부터 존중을 받지 못할수록, 공부스트레스가 많을수록, 대인불안이 높을수록, 친구 따라서 게임할수록 중독이 잘되는 것으로 나타났다. 소속감과 재미와 성취감이 관련이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 중독의 실태 및 요인을 알아 본 바에 따르면, 컴퓨터 중독을 비방하는 가장 큰 방법은 가정에서 부모가 자녀를 존중해주고, 바른 인성을 길러 공격성과 충동성이 높지 않고, 게임을 많이 좋아하지 않는 친구를 사귀는 것이 중요하다고 하겠다. 그리하여 가정과 학교와 사회가 올바로 역할을 수행한다면 정보화의 역기능인 컴퓨터 중독을 예방하고 정보 활용의 본래의 기능을 되살릴 수 있으리라 본다.

This study is analytical prototype and usability studies centering on game development for game major in university curriculum by the collaboration of professor and students. The study set up the assumption of successful game development throughout the school curriculum initialized by fifteen weeks of time period. In the previous study, we defined the responsibility of positional personnel, and possibilities of current game majored school from both USA and Korea. The study aimed to analyze the productional guideline for the game development courses by conducting a usability survey from the groups of potential participants.

This paper is designed to propose the contents necessary for updating and developing future mobile RPG game developers through a usability evaluation of Users using In-App Payment Services at Lineage M. This paper conducted a usability assessment for quantitative assessment of users who use in-app payment services for mobile game 'Lineage M'. The tool for usability assessment was surveyed in a questionnaire designed based on 'The User Experience Honeycomb' defined by Peter Morville. These statistical results were then divided into lateral analyses. Through this, it is expected that game developers and planners will be able to find data to help develop new mobile RPG games.

This study aims to identify the relationship between ADHD trait and game addiction among high school students, and to examine the double mediating model of hardiness and emotional use of music on that relationship. Participants were 254 male and female high school students. World Health Organization ADHD Self-Report Scale, Short Form of Hardiness Questionnaire, Use of Music Inventory, and Internet Gaming Use-Elicited Symptom Screen were used for this study. PROCESS Macro 3.5 Model 6 was used to analyse a double mediating effect. Results revealed that ADHD trait was negatively correlated with hardiness of high school students, and positively correlated with emotional use of music and game addiction. And, hardiness of high school students was positively correlated with emotional use of music and negatively correlated with game addiction, whereas emotional use of music was negatively correlated with game addiction. It was found that hardiness and emotional use of music were sequentially mediating ADHD trait and game addiction among high school students. These findings suggest that hardiness and emotional use of music play some special roles in the path in which adolescents' ADHD trait affects game addiction.

This study aimed to explore the trajectories of computer game use of school age children and to identify the related predictors. The data for this study used Korean Children and Youth Panel data covering from the second year to the sixth year of elementary school. A total of 1,959 participants were analyzed. Latent class growth model was employed to explore the trajectories of computer game use and multinomial logistic regression was conducted to identify the significant predictors. Main results indicated that three types of trajectories were identified: low game using group, high initial using-fluctuating group, and high increasing game using group. Each group was found to be associated deferentially with sex, aggression, attention deficit, main caregiver's education, siblings, parent absence after-school, neglecting, family income, family trip, school grades, and peer relationship. Based on these findings, this study emphasized the importance of predictive intervention for the game user among early school age children and suggested useful practical strategies.

New game softwares usually have much similarities with old one in the sense of properties and procedures. But nevertheless, the development could be duplicated several times without referencing or reusing of others. In addition, because there is no standardized process about the game engine, the products generated by other software development processes are difficult to understand and to reuse. Therefore, the enterprise developing new game software newly analyze and design although it is same process as the old one. This paper proposes the improved process of the game engine, analysis of structures and relations, classification of the class and the module and their combination methods, implementation of storage, and processor model to apply the component based development method to the game engine.

This paper researched the possibility of applying FMEA that estimates and eliminates the failure modes into the measurement of tangible game's safety. Tangible game with actuation makes unexpected accidents for the game users. And this article tried to give risk priority number to 2 categories, game device and physical injuries using FMEA method. The result showed that TV and Hand laceration and/or bruise were revealed as the most risky factors among the others. In conclusion, it is suggested that FMEA can present integrated, quantitative and coherent measurement for the safety of tangible game.
