Recent research has demonstrated that a number of factors change the behavior of evolved agents in a manner not consistent with controlled studies. This study extends a preliminary exploration of the impact of changing the level of computational or informational resources available to game playing agents on their ensemble behavior. Both these categories of information are shown to have an impact on agent behavior. Four representations are studied: lookup tables, Markov chains, finite-state machines, and feed-forward neural nets. An assessment tool called the play profile is used to demonstrate that both the cooperativeness and the change in cooperativeness over evolutionary time are substantially different for different resource levels within a representational type. Lookup tables and neural nets are found to change the least when the resource levels they are presented with are varied, while Markov chains vary the most. Available internal resources are also found to change the competitive ability of agents as well as the rate at which they become cooperative as evolution proceeds.","PeriodicalId":49192,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/TCIAIG.2016.2565558","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44585904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When someone meets an unknown individual, the question is “Can I trust him/her or not?” This requires the user to have access to a representation of trust about others, as well as a set of operators to undertake inference about the trustability of other users/players. In this paper, we employ a trust representation generated from in-world data in order to feed individual trust decisions. To achieve that purpose, we assume that such a representation of trust already exists; in fact, it was proposed in another paper of ours. Thus, the focus here is on the trust mechanisms required to infer trustability of other users/players. More specifically, we use an individual trust representation deployed as a trust network as base to the inference mechanism that employs two subjective logic operators (consensus and discount) to automatically derive trust decisions. The proposed trust inference system has been validated through OpenSimulator scenarios, which has led to a 5% increase on trustability of avatars in relation to the reference scenario (without trust).","PeriodicalId":49192,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/TCIAIG.2016.2593000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43128409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Powerful high-performance processors working without energy restrictions successfully deal with the exploration of large game trees, delivering strong play to satisfy demanding users. However, nowadays, more and more game players are running these games on smartphones and tablets, where the lower computational power and limited power budget yield a much weaker play. Recent systems-on-a-chip include programmable logic tightly coupled with general-purpose processors enabling the inclusion of custom accelerators for any application to improve both performance and energy efficiency. In this paper, we analyze the benefits of partitioning the artificial intelligence of board games into software and hardware. We have chosen as case studies three popular and complex board games, Reversi, Blokus, and Connect6. The designs analyzed include hardware accelerators for board processing, which improve performance and energy efficiency by an order of magnitude leading to much stronger and battery-aware applications. The results demonstrate that the use of hardware/software codesign to develop board games allows sustaining or even improving the user experience across platforms while keeping power and energy low.","PeriodicalId":49192,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/TCIAIG.2016.2604923","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43517142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the focus is usually on how gender is portrayed within games. In this paper, we examine the effects of players' gender on the perception of virtual character behavior and emotion based on the results of two user studies involving story-based games. The first study compared players' perception of virtual character behaviors. We analyzed perceived differences both by gender and by gaming experience. In this study, we found that female gamers were more appreciative of complex behaviors than male gamers. In the second study, we examined the influence of gender on player' ability to identify the emotion being displayed by a virtual character. We found that most emotions were identified comparably, with the exception of anger. Female players were significantly better at identifying angry characters compared to male players. We also investigated any perception differences between emotions expressed by male and female virtual characters, but we did not identify any statistically significant differences. Overall, the studies suggest that there are differences in how male and female players perceive virtual characters, and if game designers want players to perceive these characters in a certain way, they should consider the gender of targeted players.","PeriodicalId":49192,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/TCIAIG.2016.2570006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46781353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Players often obtain a sense of satisfaction and develop companionship with their pets. However, the question pertinent to why people continue playing with online pets is still unclear. The answer of this question can help developers improve game designs. The flow experience is a factor contributing to players’ willingness to engage in a gaming activity. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to adopt the concept of flow to help understand why people enjoy playing online pet games. In this study, the authors analyzed flow factors and identified crucial game elements that might elicit a flow experience by means of a questionnaire survey. A total of 180 valid questionnaires were collected, and the results demonstrated that role playing is an important flow factor for online pet games. In addition, social interaction, personality design, and creativity behavior are crucial game elements contributing to players’ willingness to continue playing with online pets.","PeriodicalId":49192,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/TCIAIG.2016.2556281","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45790323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
