Since educational and fun elements coexist in an educational game, it is important to come up with standards that can elicit fun with the game as well as educational standards. Many of the existing developed educational games have received low marks in the characteristics of entertainment and game design. Thus, how to make up for their entertainment characteristics is important. This paper analyzes gaming elements of puzzle games that were released for smart phones and gained massive popularity from their users and will apply them to educational games. Such games that have gained popularity and won a commercial success include Anipang, Anipang 2, Candy Crush Saga, Farm Heroes Saga and Pokopang. This study will analyze gaming elements of these games. By analyzing the educational games, it is applied to the game elements of casual games. In addition, we have proposed a element that can enhance the immersive. Game design elements that can improve entertainment characteristics include game rules, stages and missions. Elements that can increase immersion include items, background maps and new learning environments. This paper has significance in that it analyzes entertainment characteristics, which mean the fun of games through those that have been a commercial success and applies them to educational games.

플레이어의 상대 역할을 수행하는 NPC(Non-Player Character)의 구현은 게임에서 재미요소를 좌우하는 중요한 부분이다. 일반적인 NPC는 설정된 값에 따라, 동일한 조건에 대해 동일하게 반응하므로 플레이어로 하여금 예측 가능하게 하여 게임의 재미를 저하시키는 요인이 된다. 따라서 플레이어의 행동과 수준에 대하여 지능적으로 적절히 반응하는 NPC 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문은 퍼지 플러스터링을 이용한 플레이어의 게임 성향을 기반으로 NPC의 행동 반응을 조절함으로써 게임에 동적인 반응을 보이며 플레이어의 수준에 적절히 반응하도록 하는 NPC 기법을 제안한다.

게임에서 AI(Artificial Intelligence)는 게임의 재미요소와 가장 밀접한 부분이며, 대부분의 게임에 포함되어 있다. 그러나 단순한 AI패턴은 게임플레이에 지속성을 저하시키며 게임의 재미요소 하락시키는 원인이 되기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해, 2D 횡 스크롤 액션 게임으로 "아트록스"를 개발하여 게임의 흥미를 높일 수 있는 AI패턴을 연구하였다.

본 논문에서는 게임 사용자들이 요구하는 게임 경험치에 대하여 제안한다. 게임 경험치는 사용자들이 게임을 처음 접하는 단계에서 게임을 즐기는 동기 부여적인 측면과 게임을 진행함에 따라 게임 내 밸런스를 유지하기 위한 매우 중요한 요소이다. 게임을 즐기는 요소로서 게임의 재미요소에 대한 연구는 다양한 방면으로 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 게임 경험치 획득에 대한 구체적인 연구는 없었다. 게임 사용자들이 요구하는 게임 내 경험치 획득에 관하여 연구하기 위하여 사용자 그룹을 선정하여 사용자들이 각자 자기경험을 바탕으로 캐릭터의 레벨이 상승함에 따라 요구하는 경험치를 시각적으로 확인하면서 구체적인 값을 제시하도록 하였다. 이러한 결과는 향후 게임을 개발하는데 있어 사용자 요구를 반영하여 보다 일반적인 게임 경험치를 부여하는 기준으로 사용될 수 있다.

Energy saving is becoming more and more important issue due to lack of resources and limited nature. However, There is a lack of learning status on energy saving in the school field. In particular, in elementary education on energy saving was not linked to practice, and the educational effect was insufficient. Although various kinds of learning tools are utilized, many successful cases of energy saving game strategy are introduced in overseas industry field, and game design is proposed so that energy related education can be played through games. Because energy conservation can not be effective without practice, learning using games as a tool is expected to be more effective than learning based on knowledge transfer in the classroom. We propose a defense game for energy conservation education by using the mission elements, score acquisition element, time limit element, and character element which are the interesting elements of the game designed in the previous research.
