  • It is necessary for humans who have been facing environmental problems to build a sustainable society in which economic activities coexist with nature. To realize such goals, it is essential to promote and enhance environmental education, and to raise global awareness of environmental issues. As a preceding study, a board game "Ecopoly" based on the Kyoto protocol and the estate dealings game, was developed and the validity of environmental education was verified. This study further aims to develop a computer game "Ecopoly", based on the board game which enables us to learn the relationship between environmental problems and economic activities, and to learn more about environmental problems. This computer game enables to concentrate on it by automatic complicated calculations, and to get a higher visual effect compared with the board game. Experimental testing of the game was conducted with 13 college student subjects, and the validity of the game was verified.

  • Many studies have focused on the influences and outcomes of online game addiction. However, few studies have investigated how the online game addiction prevention behavior differs depending on online game user. In order to fill this gap, this study attempts to classify online game users based on risk perception attitude (RPA) framework. More specifically, this research tries to show online game user can be classified into four groups based on perceived risk of online game addiction and efficacy beliefs of online game addiction protection, and to identify how the groups differ in terms of motivation, information seeking, and behaviors for online game addiction prevention. For this purpose, analysis on survey data from 240 Korean college students who use online game reveals that the users can be classified into responsive, avoidance, proactive, indifference groups. Furthermore, there are differences between groups in terms of motivation, information seeking, and behaviors for online game addiction prevention. This study contributes to expand existing literature by providing tailored guidelines for implementation of online game addiction prevention strategies and policy.

  • 'Jump' control is one of several game controls using mainly in 2D game, and 'Jump' control is also very important in 3D game that has been developed steadily due to the advance of programing technology. 3D MMORPG among some kinds of 3D games is the most popular as on-line game in domestic game market these days. This study will give domestic game developers ideas and solutions through analyzing and testing problems caused by applying 'Jump' control technique as control interface of 3D MMORPG game.

  • Flash is the most popular 2D animation and game development software, supporting vector and media technology at the core, which enables the development of small and pithy games. It is widely used in Web animation, courseware, TV commercials, game development, and other works of design. In this paper, we propose a control movement function and auxiliary functions for an alpine skiing game based on ActionScript 3.0. The control movement function is designed with moving phases (i.e., free fall, sliding, projectile, and landing). The auxiliary functions include drawing path, start/restart movement, and saving the highest score. In addition, for the visual design of our game, we designed animations in connection with a character and background. In order to facilitate testing the friction, users can input a chosen friction value. Without user input, the friction default is set at 0.97.

  • Recently, research has been actively conducted to create artificial intelligence agents that learn games through reinforcement learning. There are several factors that determine performance when the agent learns a game, but using any of the activation functions is also an important factor. This paper compares and evaluates which activation function gets the best results if the agent learns the game through reinforcement learning in the 2D racing game environment. We built the agent using a reinforcement learning algorithm and a neural network. We evaluated the activation functions in the network by switching them together. We measured the reward, the output of the advantage function, and the output of the loss function while training and testing. As a result of performance evaluation, we found out the best activation function for the agent to learn the game. The difference between the best and the worst was 35.4%.

  • 소규모 인원으로 구성한 게임 개발 프로젝트에서 품질 관리를 수행할 때 폭포수 개발과 같은 전통적인 개발 방법론을 적용하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. 이에 대한 대안으로 상황에 따라 적용할 수 있도록 일부 과정을 수정하여 스크럼 방식의 애자일방법론을 제시한다. 본 논문에서는 소프트웨어 개발에 적용하는 애자일 기법을 게임 개발에 맞춘 테스팅 방식을 적용하여 실제 개발 과정에서 효과적으로 사용할 수 있는 방식인지를 검증하고 제안한다.

  • Model checking method is able to check all possible cases automatically and is applicable to specifications or design before actual implementation so that some critical systems have adopted this method actively. However, the current practice of software verification is largely dependant on basic methods such as manual testing because of lack of understanding about this rigorous method and high verification cost. In this paper we conducted an experimental research for the automated verification using the SPIN model checker on an online-game server to study the applicability of the technique in this domain. The results show that we could verify major features of the online-game server party system with 5~7 GB memory and within 10 minutes execution time, and also found a hidden system error that passed existing testing process. This result shows the possibility of rigorous and effective verification with reasonable cost in comparison to manual testing.
