  • Implementation of an Intelligent Force Feedback Multimedia Game
    Implementation of an Intelligent Force Feedback Multimedia Game Fei He§ Ernst & Young LLP, Kansas City, Missouri U.S.A. Arvin Agahf Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science The University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045 U.S.A. ABSTRACT This paper presents the design and programming of an intelligent multimedia computer game, enhanced with force feedback. The augmentation of game images and sounds with appropriate force feedback improves the quality of the game, making it more interesting and more interactive. We used the Immersion Corporation's force feedback joystick, the I-FORCE Studio computation engine, and the Microsoft DirectX Software Development Kit (SDK) to design the multimedia game, running in the Windows NT operating system. In this game, the world contains circles of different sizes and masses. When the circles hit each other, collisions take place, which are shown to, and felt by, the user. When the circles hit together, the overall score increases; the larger the size of the circle, the higher the score increase. The initial score is set to zero, and when the game ends, a lower score represents a better performance. This game was used to examine the behavior of the users under different environments through their respective scores and comments. The analysis of experimental results helps in the comparative study of different kinds of multimedia combinations. ^Work performed while Fei He was at the University of Kansas Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] tel: +1 (785) 864-7752; fax: +1 (785) 864-0387 75 Vol. 11, No. 2, 2001 Implementation of an Intelligent Force Feedback Multimedia Game KEYWORDS intelligent multimedia games, video game programming, force feedback 1.

The test tools in the CTK provide feedback on the functionality of your drivers, which can in turn be used to further enhance the reliability of a Windows Embedded Compact device platform. This paper describes how to use the Windows Embedded Compact Test Kit. ©2011 Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact Test Kit User Guide 2 Introduction to the Windows Embedded Compact Test Kit The Windows Embedded Compact Test Kit (CTK) provides significant improvements to the user interface and the overall feature set when compared to the previous release known as Windows Embedded CE Test Kit (CETK). The Windows Embedded CTK is a tool that you can use to test the functionality and performance of device drivers and related hardware for a Windows Embedded Compact device. The test tools in the CTK provide feedback on the functionality of your drivers, which can in turn be used to further enhance the reliability of your device. Additionally, more tests can be added to the CTK to test specific drivers. You can use the integrated Graph Tool to convert performance test results into graphical charts.

  • Implementation of a 2D Game Engine Using Directx 8.1
    Computer Science Daniel Linds¨ath and Martin Persson Implementation of a 2D Game Engine Using DirectX 8.1 Bachelor’s Project 2004:24 Implementation of a 2D Game Engine Using DirectX 8.1 Daniel Linds¨ath and Martin Persson c 2006 The author(s) and Karlstad University This report is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. All material in this report which is not our own work has been identified and no material is included for which a degree has previously been conferred. Daniel Linds¨ath Martin Persson Approved, 2004-06-03 Advisor: Hannes Persson Examiner: Donald F. Ross iii Abstract This paper describes our game engine written in C++, using the DirectX libraries for graphics, sound and input. Since the engine is written using DirectX, an introduction to this system is given. The report gives a description of the structure of the game and the game kernel. Following this is a description of the graphics engine and its core components. The main focus of the engine is on the physics and how it is used in the game to simulate reality. Input is discussed briefly, with examples to show how it relates to the physics engine. Implementation of audio in the game engine is not described, but a general description of how sound is used in games is given. A theory for the basics of how artificial intelligence can be used in the engine is presented. The system for the architecture of the levels is described as is its connection to the graphics engine.
