My presentation from KSF 2009 - Korea Serious Games Festival in Seoul, South Korea. September 25, 2009.
Video Games: Advantages and Disadvantages
This document discusses video games and gaming consoles. It notes that while games can provide social, intellectual, and educational benefits like improved coordination, reaction time, and problem solving skills, they also have disadvantages like potential isolation, overuse leading to physical problems, and being an expensive hobby. The document also lists the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as commonly used consoles and acknowledges that new motion-sensing games require more physical activity.

This presentation discusses the pros and cons of video games. It outlines several pros, such as how video games can improve coordination, problem-solving skills, memory, attention, concentration and provide a source of learning. However, it also discusses some cons, such as the potential for increased aggression and violence, addiction, negative impacts on health, and the risk of replacing social interaction with game playing. The presentation concludes by providing some solutions to minimize the negative impacts, such as limiting screen time, taking breaks, staying hydrated, and balancing game play with outdoor physical activities.

This document presents information on enhancing interaction for serious games. It discusses existing console and PC gaming and their health cons, as well as the future of interactive gaming using motion sensors and voice recognition. The proposed method of interactive gaming is said to have pros like providing physical exercise, reducing obesity, and being more fun and interesting through increased interactivity. However, cons of the proposed method include increased cost and difficulty for developers, testers, and players. In conclusion, the presentation compares existing gaming systems to the proposed interactive gaming approach.
The advantage and disadvantage of playing video game
Playing video games can have both advantages and disadvantages. While video games may improve problem solving and dexterity skills, excessive unrestricted use can be harmful, especially for children. Prolonged exposure to violent video games has been linked to increased aggression in some adolescents. Video games can also isolate children from the real world and negatively impact social skills and school performance if not limited. However, in moderation video games may offer cognitive benefits like enhanced strategic thinking and quick decision making. It is important for parents to monitor children's video game use and restrict access to inappropriate content.
Android game -english13
This document provides summaries for multiple mobile games. It describes English Challenge as an English vocabulary test in a multiple choice format that is a good way to learn English. It describes Feminine as a game that analyzes the player's degree of femininity by answering questions. It describes Guess Number as a game where the player guesses numbers chosen by the android and receives feedback on their guesses.
Android game -english01
This document provides summaries of several mobile games. They include casual games involving controlling a character through gravity or reflexes, puzzle games about connecting or finding differences in pictures, and a game combining classic board and card games. Most emphasize visually pleasing graphics and requiring logical thinking or observation skills.
Team e
This game involves rolling two dice, adding the totals, and getting that amount of money back except for rolling a 7. The expected value is $7 and standard deviation is $2.42. An experiment simulating 50 plays found a profit of $115 for the house, meaning a loss of $2.30 per roll for the player. Lowering the cost to $6 per roll would reduce the loss to $1.30 per roll and potentially attract more players.

advantage and disadvantage of gaming
Gaming can have both positive and negative effects. Positively, video games have been shown to increase memory capacity, provide pain relief, improve reading skills in dyslexic children, limit trauma, increase brain matter in areas linked to spatial skills, and foster quick thinking. However, gaming has also been linked to increased aggression and violence, addiction, negative impacts on brain health and social life. Ultimately, moderation is key, as gaming allows one to "live many different lives at once" if balanced with real world responsibilities and relationships.
Computer & its video games
The document discusses the pros and cons of computer and video games. It begins by introducing the topic and noting that both useful and harmful effects on the human body, especially children, will be examined. Examples are then provided of recent developments in computer games and their effects. The main differences between computer and video games are defined, with computer games generally played on PCs and video games on game consoles. Both types of games are then discussed in more detail, including their pros and cons. Steps to avoid negative effects like addiction are suggested, such as monitoring time spent playing, identifying impacts, and engaging in physical activities instead. The conclusion reiterates the balance of gaining knowledge from games but also risks of addiction.

Chapter 2 structure of games tsppt 1
This document discusses the key elements that define games and engage players. It identifies that all games require players, objectives, procedures/rules, resources, and outcomes/boundaries. These formal elements work together in a system to create challenges and allow for play within a structured experience. Engaging players comes through balancing challenges, allowing for fantasy and imagination within the rules, and leveraging premises, characters, and stories to create emotional investment in the game. Ultimately, games are complex systems where the whole experience is greater than the sum of its individual parts.
Video Game Powerpoint
The document discusses the history and evolution of video games from the earliest arcade games in the 1970s to modern consoles. It describes key events like the release of Pong, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and the video game crash of 1983. It then summarizes the rise of Nintendo and the revival of the video game industry in the 1980s through popular games like Super Mario Bros.
PS3 Supporting Cancer Cure
The PS3 can help support cancer research through Stanford University's Folding@Home project. Folding@Home uses distributed computing to simulate protein folding, which could help develop new drugs to cure cancer. The PS3 has high computational power and can contribute to this research by modeling protein folding when idle. Gamers running Folding@Home on their PS3s can help medical researchers better understand proteins and diseases like cancer.
Games transform their players
This document discusses the potential positive and negative outcomes of playing games. On the negative side, it addresses common fears about games causing increased violence or addiction. However, it notes that well-adjusted adult players can discern fantasy from reality, and developmentally appropriate games can be good for young players. Positively, games can benefit emotional health by relieving stress, build confidence, and connect players. Games may also encourage exercise, education, problem-solving skills, and learning about complex systems of relationships. The document advocates considering how games can transform players for the better when designing experiences using a "Lens of Transformation."
Game j
This document describes a dice game where rolling a 2 or 12 wins $10, sums closer to 7 win less, and rolling a 7 wins $0. The objective is to roll a 2 or 12. A simulation was run to calculate the mean and standard deviation of winnings. The video at the given link shows an example. Suggested improvements include using standard dice and running more than 50 trials for the simulation.
Android game -english10
This document provides game summaries and key selling points for several mobile games. The games cover a variety of genres including puzzles, casual games, and learning games.

Rescue. Adopt. Restore.
As a part of OJC, I was assigned to spend a week meditating on passages regarding the fatherless in Scripture and to hear the Lord's heart concerning this current crisis. The more I asked Father God for revelation about His heart toward the fatherless, the more He kept speaking to me about justice...not just good deeds, but the true justice of Jesus. This is the revelation I received and the presentation I later gave (slightly altered for my wordpress friends!) The sections I spoke are italicized between slides. I ask that the Lord would increase revelation of His heart towards you who were once orphaned and now have been restored...

Game Studies Download 3.0
The Game Studies Download is compiled annually by Jane McGonigal, Ian Bogost, and Mia Consalvo for the Game Developers Conference.
It's a summary of the top ten research findings from academic game studies from the previous calendar year.
Our main criteria for selecting studies is simple: the direct relevance of the researchers' insights to the future innovation of game design and development.
Video Games and Your Brain
1) The document discusses how video games can positively impact brain function and development when used strategically. It explores how games designed to train timing and rhythm through neurofeedback can physically change the brain and lead to broad improvements beyond just the game.
2) Interactive Metronome training is highlighted as uniquely targeting domain-general timing mechanisms, shown to improve conditions like ADHD and autism by synchronizing the brain's internal clock. Precise feedback helps transfer gains to daily life.
3) Research finds video games can enhance therapy outcomes, managing pain and more when combined with neurofeedback targeting underlying brain mechanisms rather than single tasks. Interactive Metronome is positioned as going beyond brain training games to provide real physiological brain change
Learning through Play
The document discusses games and serious games. It begins with definitions of play and games, and notes that while reality is broken, games can make the world better. It discusses how games are designed with elements like aesthetics, mechanics, story and technology. Game design considers the player experience and principles of learning. Serious games can teach in an engaging way by empowering learners and integrating learning into the gameplay.

Video games and simulations with statistics, visual examples and research by Colorado Technical University doctoral students on game design hosted by Dr. Cynthia Calongne.
Features highlights from Jane McGonigal's Spring 2014 CTU Keynote Address and research, her ISTE EPIC Leadership game with Peggy Sheehy. Dr. Andrew Stricker's games at Air University, Dr. Fil Arenas and Dr. Tony Cook, the Mars Expedition Strategy Challenge with Mike McCrocklin and Jeanne Holm, and Will Wright's Bar Karma.
L21 Gamification
The document discusses the concept of gamification and how game mechanics and thinking can be applied to engage audiences and solve problems. It provides examples of how game play has become a significant part of people's lives and explores research showing cognitive benefits of game playing, such as improved problem solving abilities and enhanced capacity for processing visual information. The document suggests gamification could be a way to motivate behavior change and addresses arguments that game playing is a waste of time by highlighting the potential impacts on jobs, society, and other areas.
Ted talks
The document summarizes a TED talk about how games reward the brain and ways that gaming principles can be applied elsewhere. It discusses how games use rewards, feedback, and uncertainty to keep players engaged. It argues that the same psychological lessons from gaming could be used to motivate people to spend more time solving real-world problems if the real world was more like an online game.
3 .research video games
This document discusses several mobile games including Flow, Jetpack Joyride, and Candy Crush Saga. It provides details on the gameplay, objectives, and reasons for the popularity and addictiveness of each game. Interviews were also conducted with potential target audiences to understand their game preferences. The interviews found that audiences prefer simple, colorful games with theme music over complicated layouts and constant sound effects. They also differed on whether they preferred a point score or level-based structure.

This study examined the effects of playing Candy Crush on heart rate over two weeks. The researcher divided each day into periods of no Candy Crush exposure, low exposure (45 minutes of play), and intended high exposure (unlimited play time). Heart rate was recorded after each period. Contrary to predictions, heart rate was highest during no exposure periods, likely due to withdrawal symptoms from restricting Candy Crush play. Though Candy Crush lowered heart rate during play, its addictive nature created stress and increased heart rate when unavailable. The study design could be improved by alternating days of exposure and non-exposure.

Play and Design Process - SXSW 2010 by Sara Summers
This document discusses how play and collaboration can improve the design process. It notes that play fosters qualities like empathy, trust, health and joy. It also cites research showing that play is critical to our ability to adapt and handle stress. The document recommends incorporating more play into work by getting people out of their comfort zones, dedicating time for individual and group idea generation, and embracing prototyping as a way to play with ideas. It argues this can help people and industries reinvent themselves as things change rapidly.
2. research
The document summarizes research conducted to inform the development of a new video game. Product research focused on the anime Attack on Titan to inspire art style and characters. An online survey distributed to classmates and through Twitter gathered information on demographics, game preferences, and design choices. Interviews with two gamers provided insight into what interests and motivates players. The research uncovered both consistent trends, like a preference for bright colors, and varying opinions on genres and difficulty levels. This research will help make design decisions to broadly appeal to different player types.
Gaming Addiction
Video game addiction is defined as playing video games excessively to an unhealthy degree, most commonly among those aged 10-18. Games are designed to be addictive by fulfilling human psychological needs easily and providing escapism. Consequences of addiction include chronic back pain, neglecting family and friends, migraines, and long term sleeping problems. While 12% of gamers showed signs of addiction in 2009, addiction can be avoided by moderating play time and prioritizing school and family over games.
L22 Gamification
Games are powerful. People can spend a lot of time playing games. Games are also great motivators. People do things that don´t even like, if they feel like they are playing game. Gamififcation is the use of game mechanics to motivate people to do stuff they generally would not do.
Playing can also be very good of your brain and give you useful skills. In this lecture we explore some of the elements of gamification and why you should don´t worry about playing computer games.
Balancing Fruit - IAPA presentation 26/11/15
When we first saw the analytics around the behaviour of players playing the mini games in the 5th anniversary update for Fruit Ninja we were very surprised: They weren't playing them as we had designed them to be played.
When we looked further into the numbers we saw that players had found new, un-fun ways to interact with the mini games that we hadn't anticipated. We acted fast and pushed an update to save our players' fun.
This is an expanded version of the presentation deck I presented at a recent IAPA meeting.
Excerpt from the IAPA website:

THEMATIC APPERCEPTION TEST(TAT) cognitive abilities, creativity, and critic...Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan,kP,Pakistan
hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skillsDeep Software Variability and Frictionless Reproducibility
Deep Software Variability and Frictionless ReproducibilityUniversity of Rennes, INSA Rennes, Inria/IRISA, CNRS
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
