On a mobile multi-touch platform, there are constraints of limited visual real estate, which is actually shared with the touch command interface. Though work has been done to port real-time strategy games to the mobile platform, to date, there has not been a significant effort to enhance the usability of these interfaces by removing redundancies and tailoring the game commands to these multi-touch devices.\u0000 The touch interface presents unique challenges as there are touches and gestures rather than buttons and key combinations. In this paper, we present a rapidly-prototyped user-centered design in a ten-week project of a real-time strategy user interface native for the iPad. As the user's experience is key in creating a robust and intuitive interface, we incorporate the user's feedback in several stages of the design and prototyping of the project. We show changes to the design of the user interface over several iterations and, finally, show a prototype of the user interface system using a game of our own design as a test platform. The contributions of this project are the interface designed for a new mode of interaction (i.e., the iPad platform), the bubble menu, and the ability to cancel orders.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

In this paper, we present a series of algorithms to replace the traditional tree-based spatial data structures with the graph-based navigation-mesh. The advantages of using a single data structure for both agent navigation and collision detection acceleration are two-fold. First, the costs of constructing and maintaining two unique data structures are cut in half if a single data structure provides both spatial groupings for rapid collision detection and search space reduction for path planning. Second, using one spatial structure, development time can be shorter and, at runtime, there is generally less memory overhead. We present the results of an experiment that compares a navigation mesh as a collision detection accelerator to two popular and commonly used forms of spatial data structures, the k-d tree and the spatial hash map. We also compare its performance to a world without any spatial data structures to provide a baseline of performance. Our results show a fifty percent decrease in collision detection time between dynamic objects in comparison to k-d trees. In addition, until the number of objects present in the world exceeds three thousand the navigation mesh accelerated collision detection outperforms spatial hashing accelerated collision detection across all tests.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

In this paper we describe how the Modular Interactive Tiles System (MITS) can be a valuable tool for introducing students to interactive parallel and distributed processing programming for physical games development. This is done by providing an educational tool that allows a change of representation of the problems related to game designing from a virtual to a physical representation. Indeed, MITS seems to be a valuable system for bringing into education a vast number of issues (such as parallel programming, distribution, communication protocols, master dependency, connectivity, topology, island modeling software behavioral models, adaptive interactivity, feedback, user and multi-user game interaction, etc.). This can both improve the education-related issues in computer science classes, and enhance the younger and older gamers with a highly interactive and physical experience. We illustrate how the MITS system can be considered a tool for easy, fast, and flexible hands-on exploration of these issues, and through examples show how to implement interactive parallel and distributed processing in games with different software game models such as open loop, randomness based, rule based, user interaction based, AI and ALife based games, morphology based games, and physical teleplay games.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

Minimalist games have small rulesets, narrow decision spaces, and abstract audiovisual representations, yet they do not compromise on depth of play or possibility space. We begin with a motivation for and definition of minimalist games, including terms such as \"rules,\" \"mechanics,\" \"control,\" and \"interface,\" and illustrate the importance of artificial design constraints. Using a number of examples, we show the strengths of minimalist game elements in systems, controls, visuals, and audio. Adhering to these constraints, these games feature a small set of mechanics and one core mechanic, while still being sufficiently deep and allowing for player exploration and performance. This depth comes from procedural methods, combinatorial complexity, probability, obfuscation, challenge, or any combination thereof. Our methodology embraces principles of holistic design, where there is no \"filler,\" and where every element of the game contributes to the play experience in some meaningful, deliberate way.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

However, to achieve these goals, game elements must not be too screen-oriented, because staring at the device screen degrades one's skill and safety in running, jumping, and climbing. We should instead design game elements in ways that allow them to be experienced with minimal or no screen reading. On the other hand, matching outcomes with user expectations is a major challenge, due to the inaccuracy of device sensors and the realities of communications in outdoor field conditions. This paper describes a design for point-and-shoot weapons that allows the player simply to point the smartphone and tap to shoot. The design includes a computational procedure for engineering implementations to a given accuracy standard and has three variants supporting different types of game experience. We evaluate the design using both Monte Carlo simulations and data gathered from an implemented instance within the iTESS Geocast Game.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.
