The document describes a study that used the Personal Construct Theory (PCT) to develop a methodology for evaluating player experience in video games. Researchers conducted interviews with 64 students to elicit constructs for describing video games without imposing predetermined categories. This resulted in 570 constructs which were grouped into 23 dimensions that capture how players perceive and evaluate games, such as in terms of ability, dynamism, engagement, and emotion. The dimensions included criteria from professional reviews and academic theories. Players were then asked to rate games based on the dimensions to analyze similarities between genres.

Ian Bogost’s concept of procedural rhetoric is a tantalising theory of the power and potential of computer games, especially serious games. Yet does this concept really distinguish games from other media? Can this concept be usefully applied to the design and critique of serious games? This paper explores the ramifications of games (particularly serious games) as procedural rhetoric and whether this concept is problematic, useful, inclusive, or better employed as a recalibrated meta-epistemic theory of serious games that persuade or suggest to the player that the game mechanics, game genre, or digitally simulated world-view is open to criticism and reflection.

An Expert Gamification System with Psychological Theories for Virtual and Cro...ijseajournal
Gamification is the concept of applying game elements in non-game context platforms to motivate people to
participate in planned activities to achieve goals.
Gamification has been applied to academic fields including software engineering (SE) in recent years.
Many gamification implementations in SE have been ad hoc and lacked standardized guidelines. This paper
introduces a new concept of building an expert gamification system (EGS) to provide guidelines for the
implementation of gamification for virtual and cross cultural software teams (VCCST). The system will
extend the core of a regular expert system to include gamification tools, a supplementary database, and an
expert knowledge source. The cross-cultural data for the EGS contains the Hofstede's cultural dimensions
(HCD). The expert knowledge source contains information from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (MHON),
flow theory and self-determination theory (SDT).
As more and more VCCST are formed in recent years, many issues have been raised in those teams
stemming from miscommunication and cultural conflicts. This paper uses the EGS to help resolve the
issues in VCCST. Also, this paper is an extension of a previous paper written by the same authors in this
similar topic.
Learning to Reason in Round-based Games: Multi-task Sequence Generation for P...Deren Lei
Sequential reasoning is a complex human ability, with extensive previous research focusing on gaming AI in a single continuous game, round-based decision makings extending to a sequence of games remain less explored. CounterStrike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), as a round-based game with abundant expert demonstrations, provides an excellent environment for multi-player round-based sequential reasoning. In this work, we propose a Sequence Reasoner with Round Attribute Encoder and Multi-Task Decoder to interpret the strategies behind the round-based purchasing decisions. We adopt few-shot learning to sample multiple rounds in a match, and modified model agnostic meta-learning algorithm Reptile for the meta-learning loop. We formulate each round as a multi-task sequence generation problem. Our state representations combine action encoder, team encoder, player features, round attribute encoder, and economy encoders to help our agent learn to reason under this specific multi-player round-based scenario. A complete ablation study and comparison with the greedy approach certify the effectiveness of our model. Our research will open doors for interpretable AI for understanding episodic and long-term purchasing strategies beyond the gaming community.
ANSWER SET PROGRAMMING (DLV – CLINGO):CONNECT 4 SOLVERijaia
Answer set programming is an approach that has recently gained a lot of popularity in solving complex
problems due to its efficient knowledge representation and reasoning. Knowledge is represented as answer
set programs, and reasoning is performed by answer set solvers. Answer set programming enables default
reasoning, which is required in commonsense reasoning. In this paper, we discuss the potential role of
answer set programming (ASP) in the context of approaches to the development of agents especially in the
realm of Computational Logic. So, we focus on the usage of DLV for solving problems in a declarative
manner particularly, in the solution of the game “connect four”. Additionally, we present the solution to
this same problem from Clingo's perspective. We address this challenge with the ASP system clingo and its
grounding and solving components by equipping them with well-defined generic interfaces facilitating the
manifold integration efforts.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
