Jan 25, 2023 · We present a proof-of-concept for using evolutionary algorithms to craft targeted complexity graphs to model GEs. In a technical evaluation, we tested our first working …

Abstract: Game development-based learning and creative coding activities are seen as an opportunity for young people to acquire programming skills and overall, Computational …

Combinatorial game theory measures game complexity in several ways: State-space complexity (the number of legal game positions from the initial position) Game tree size (total number of …

Sep 16, 2020 · In this article, I offer my own fleshed out definitions of these two ideas, in effort to help crystallize them for those of you who don't already have solid interpretations—in effect …

Graph theory comes up all the time in games. In state machines, the states and their transitions are a graph. The entire game is essentially a giant state machine. Pathfinding also requires …

Feb 24, 2004 · PROJECT SIZE AND COMPLEXITY. To illustrate the growth of games over the past decade, I’ve chosen four examples of games and drawn graphs of them. Each node in a …

Almost any game or puzzle played on a board involves one or more abstract combinatorial graphs. This column introduces some basic terminology and intuition from graph theory, and …

Sep 16, 2014 · Graph theory can be used in a lot of places in game development, the biggest of which is probably pathfinding. I cover a lot of algorithms in this series, for example depth first …

Apr 13, 2023 · Have you ever heard "easy to learn, hard to master"? This is the exact definition of a deep, complex game. As designers, we should aim to produce stuff, that fits under this …

This thesis presents a hypothetical Model design for comparing and correlating player motivations with player preferences in computer games. In building this Model, multiple variables were …
