Endless Web is an example of a PCG-based game: it uses procedural content generation (PCG) as a mechanic, and its PCG system, Launchpad, greatly influenced the aesthetics of the game. All of the player's strategies for the game revolve around the use of procedural content generation. Many design challenges were encountered in the design and creation of Endless Web, for both the game and modifications that had to be made to Launchpad. These challenges arise largely from a loss of fine-grained control over the player's experience; instead of being able to carefully craft each element the player can interact with, the designer must instead craft algorithms to produce a range of content the player might experience. In this paper we provide a definition of PCG-based game design and describe the challenges faced in creating a PCG-based game. We offer our solutions, which impacted both the game and the underlying level generator, and identify issues which may be particularly important as this area matures.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

However, few studies have explored the benefits of playing these games on cognition. The aim of my dissertation research is to investigate how cognitive engagement and physical activity in active versus inactive video game play influences short-term effects on executive functioning (EF) skills for children ages 6 to 11. Research has found that certain activities temporarily boost executive functioning skills. Studies with adults and undergraduates have found that video game play increases selective attention and inhibition. In addition, empirical research has demonstrated that aerobic activity can enhance executive functioning after a 30-minute bout of exercise. Therefore, exergames, physically active video games, may have the most potential to impact executive functioning skills based on the combination of exercise and cognitively engaging video game play. The research will examine differences in executive functioning immediately after game play. There will be four conditions: a non-playing control, an exercise condition, an exergame condition, and sedentary video game condition. One hundred forty participants ages 6 to 11 years old will be tested in pre- and posttest on three different executive functioning tasks. An ANOVA with repeated planned contrasts will examine the hypothesis that the children in the exergame condition will have significantly greater improvement in EF than children in the non-playing control, exercise or sedentary video game conditions.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

Using the PlayStation 3 game console coupled with the PlayStation Move Controller, we explored five different games that combine 3D stereo and 3D spatial interaction. For each game, quantitative and qualitative measures were taken to determine if users performed better and learned faster in the experimental group (3D stereo display) than in the control group (2D display). A game expertise pre-questionnaire was used to classify participants into beginners and expert game player categories to analyze a possible impact on performance differences. The results show two cases where the 3D stereo display did help participants perform significantly better than with a 2D display. For the first time, we can report a positive effect on gaming performance based on stereoscopic vision, although reserved to isolated tasks and depending on game expertise. We discuss the reasons behind these findings and provide recommendations for game designers who want to make use of 3D stereoscopic vision and 3D motion control to enhance game experiences.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

By using the wealth of 3D interaction research, we can use these low cost commercial systems to bring not only richer interaction to gaming but also commodity trackers to Virtual Reality research. One of the first steps in understanding how these devices can be used is to determine their limitations and strengths compared to traditional 3D tracking systems.\u0000 Based on this motivation we chose to implement three well-known interaction techniques---ray casting, HOMER and World-In-Miniature---using the Kinect, Move and Intersense IS-900 (a high-end 3D tracking system). We outline the design challenges of developing for each system. Based on these design issues, we expect to see users having similar results when using the Move and IS-900 systems while having a slight decrease in performance using the Kinect. If our assertions are correct, we will look at how we can design new interactions with these systems that allow for precise and accurate selection and manipulation.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

Lab based studies have indicated that AVGs can increase the amount and intensity of physical activity compared to non-active games and TV, however, the long-term effectiveness of AVGs has yet been established. In fact, most of the existing studies show a reduction of interest and participation over time. This paper presents our findings from a long-term, multi-site deployment of a pervasive health game, the American Horsepower Challenge (AHPC). Similar to previous studies, our findings also show reduced effectiveness of the game, but on a much larger scale. Moreover, we analyze reasons for this and report what kind of game related online and offline activities happened during the deployment. We argue that a shift of evaluation metrics and design goals is required to make real-world sustainable behavior changes. Based on empirical data, we propose three goals for AVGs---sustainability, adaptability and sociability. Behavior-changing games can learn how to achieve these goals from existing game genres, such as alternate reality games, location-based games, family games, and multiplayer online games etc.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.
