A smart robot game, which is one of the new type expanding the market through coding education classes recently, has a characteristic to manipulate digital games with a smart-phone while using a robot instead of existing games. Under the same rules, the virtual world's game is connected to real world's robot through a smart-phone, and the game is played while exchanging data. This study analyzes smart robot game by dividing them into media features, digital game features, and playful features. In addition, we developed the game based on the board game genre that has the general rules while using the derived development features. As a result, by presenting the case of development of smart robot board game, we would like to propose the points to be considered in the development of smart robot game.

Perceived game realism (PGR) has recently emerged as a key concept in explaining the mental processing of digital game playing and the societal impact of digital games. However, few studies have examined its conceptualization and educational effects from an empirical viewpoint, especially in educational games. This study's participants included 292 university students in South Korea. A total of 212 questionnaires were valid and used for the analyses. They learned English expressions using a computer-based educational game and then completed questionnaires on the research variables. We investigated six factors of PGR: simulational realism (SIR), freedom of choice (FRC), perceptual pervasiveness (PEP), social realism (SOR), authenticity (AUT), and character involvement (CAI). We expected the factors to have valid effects on the university students' flow and learning satisfaction after a game-based learning (GBL) experience. Our research results demonstrated a causal relationship between SIR, FRC, CAI, and learning satisfaction. Furthermore, the indirect effects of SIR and CAI on learning satisfaction through flow were statistically significant.

Currently, hardware companies such as Oculus, Samsung, and HTC are producing virtual reality devices, and game software development companies are developing or servicing VR games using these devices. Accordingly, the VR game market is expected to continue to grow in the future. However, in order for the VR game market to become active, various problems raised during game development and service must be resolved. This paper investigates solutions to problems raised during the development and service of VR games, such as cyber sickness, risk of injury due to environmental restrictions during play, and reconnection induction problems. Cybersickness can be alleviated by utilizing multiple GPUs for each display processing to achieve higher frame rates and optimizing play space design. Environmental constraints during play can be mitigated by optimizing space design, and the problem of inducing reconnection can be solved by continuously providing the motivation and purpose used in existing game methods. Through this, we were able to apply it to develop VR content that can be played continuously.

This paper made a comparative study on domestic and international game archives that preserve and study the history of games. Based on that, it suggests the structure to classify and build a database to establish a history museum of games. The objective to gather and preserve history of games is mainly in order to build a baseline for ludology studies, but not solely for that reason. This study proposes the series of procedures of gathering, preserving, classifying, displaying and referencing digital games according to the academic field of Media Archaeology.

The interests of education methods using Serious games have been increasing recently. But resu,lt-oriented game design framework have not been reflected intrinsic motivation. To increase usage of educational serious game as resource, it is needed game design framework for providing the immersion and collaborative active learning that cognitive Psychologic theories recommend. By outlining the background of the serious game design framework and exemplifying its use, a constructive structure to examine purposed based games is introduced.

Network Intrusion Detection (NID), an important topic in the field of information security, can be viewed as a pattern recognition problem. The existing pattern recognition methods can achieve a good performance when the number of training samples is large enough. However, modern network attacks are diverse and constantly updated, and the training samples have much smaller size. Furthermore, to improve the learning ability of SVM, the research of kernel functions mainly focus on the selection, construction and improvement of kernel functions. Nonetheless, in practice, there are no theories to solve the problem of the construction of kernel functions perfectly. In this paper, we effectively integrate the advantages of the radial basis function kernel and the polynomial kernel on the notion of the game theory and propose a novel kernel SVM algorithm with game theory for NID, called GTNID-SVM. The basic idea is to exploit the game theory in NID to get a SVM classifier with better learning ability and generalization performance. To the best of our knowledge, GTNID-SVM is the first algorithm that studies ensemble kernel function with game theory in NID. We conduct empirical studies on the DARPA dataset, and the results demonstrate that the proposed approach is feasible and more effective.

In this study, we develop a teaching and learning model for elementary students on game programming using KODU. The developed model consists of four steps: introducing the game programming, making the game, playing the game, and modifying the game. After teaching the students, we conduct a survey to gather their opinions on the game making tool and activities. The results show that the students are satisfied with KODU and prefer make a game to play a game. Game programming educating with KODU can keep elementary students from game addiction while increasing confidence in their studies.

The format of game play varies depending on the priority of game design components by genre. In this study, in order to quantitatively derive the priority of game design components by genre, 6 game design components and 6 genres were extracted through prior research on game design components and genres, and then the research model was designed, and priorities were derived through AHP. Feedback system in action games, story in adventure games, mechanics in role-playing games, mechanics in simulation games, feedback system in table games, and mechanics in puzzle games were highly prioritized.

This study examined the influence of university students' stress in their daily lives on game addiction, and investigated whether the human relation skills has a moderating effect on their daily life stress. For this study, surveys of 222 university students were collected and analyzed with SPSS 18.0 program. The results of this study are as follows: First, the participants displayed lower human relation skills as the level of stress from the studies increased. In contrast, the participants displayed higher human relation skills as the level of stress from future plans and family relations increased. Second, as the level of game addiction increased, human relation skills were found to be lower. Third, the university students' stress from daily lives had a static effect on game addiction. The participants displayed tendency of game addiction as they had high levels of stress from their studies, financial issues, future plans, values, family relations, and human relations with people apart from their family. Among the listed factors of stress, the stress from the studies most strongly influenced the participants to be addicted to games. Fourth, among the sub-factors of stress in the university students, issues in future plans and family relations significantly control the game addiction. Studies on this area has been insufficient. From the study, it is found that in order to prevent university students to be addicted to games, they must cope well with their stress. Furthermore, this study carries its significance in finding the results that human relation skills contribute as a part of dealing with stress.

Game studies of theatrical approach explained interactive property of game in humanistic background. Those studies analyze the game, and based on Aristoteles Poetic Attribute. But theatrical approach has a problem by user's unpredictable intervention in narrative (Active narrative). This paper intended to see in the glance of any impact on the Aristotelian model by active narrative. As a result of the active narrative remake the causality between materials of drama. Also, it can be seen to define a kind of the "Improvisation" in theatrical view. But it exposed a essential difference in the form an expression by substance and material of media. It was defined forms of improvisation in the gaming environment which are 'Self-generated Individuality', 'Self-definition Faction', 'Eccentric Behavior Contending', 'Trolling' and 'Bug Play'. Finally this paper proposes the characteristics of the improvisation of the game and the direction to be improved game analysis model in humanities through forms of improvisation in game environment.
