Voyagez à travers de merveilleuses collines alpines, des bois anciens et des ruines abandonnées. En chemin, vous devrez secourir des lamas en fuite, réduire en miettes des toits, sauter par-dessus des gouffres terrifiants et vous montrer plus malin que les anciens de la montagne – le tout en bravant les éléments changeant sans cesse et le passage du temps sur la montagne. (App Store). 4 Blek L’originalité de ce titre réside dans un principe de jeu très simple, dans un gra- phisme épuré. Résumé : Sur l’écran se côtoient des taches d’encres noires et colorées. L’action est simple : il faut dessi- ner un trait et lui impulser un mouvement qui sera répété en boucle, avec pour but de toucher les ronds de couleurs pour les faire disparaître, sans jamais entrer en contact avec les ronds noirs qui absorbent le trait. Une fois les règles assimilées et maîtrisées, les premiers niveaux seront rapidement franchis, cepen- dant on se creuse rapidement les méninges avec la difficulté croissante. A la fois jeu graphique, jeu d’ima- gination et jeu de réflexion (calcul de la répétition du mouvement et de son déplacement), Blek pourra être proposé à un large public, les plus jeunes seront ravis d’être à plusieurs pour résoudre chacun des tableaux.

(App Store). Résumé : Initialement paru sur PC / Mac / Linux, le titre est à présent disponible sur iPad. Dans un dé- cor doux et chatoyant, on guide cinq petits êtres – mélange d’insectes et de végétaux – luttant pour sauver leur arbre d’une araignée noire qui aspire toute forme de vie. La petite bande va cheminer pour lutter contre le vil prédateur, en résolvant des énigmes, ponctuées d’animations délicieusement drôles et tendres. Une ambiance onirique, tant par l’environnement visuel somptueux que par la bande-son particulièrement soignée, qui invite à la rêverie. L’adaptation sur iPad est d’autant plus réussie que les manipulations tactiles renforcent l’émotion, développant l’attachement avec les héros que l’on guide par le toucher. Et le format tablette se prêtera particulièrement bien à une découverte à plusieurs mains, pour partager cette quête que l’on pourra recommencer un grand nombre de fois, avec tou- jours autant de plaisir.

Voulez-vous maîtriser le jeu le plus prestigieux tout en vous amusant? Cette app est facile, les progrès sont garantis, et vous n'aurez aucune leçon ennuyeuse à lire ! Résumé : Comment ça marche ? C'est vraiment simple : vous jouez, c'est tout ! Le coach vous montre les coups que choisirait un Grand-Maître. Pas juste un coup, mais les 4 meilleurs coups. Dans 2 minutes vous allez commencer à apprendre sans effort. Vous commencez à vous amuser immé- diatement, et vous remarquez après quelques parties que les bons coups vous viennent à l'esprit naturel- lement, comme s'ils étaient évidents ! (App Store). 7 Framed Changez l’ordre, changer la fin ! Le jeu ayant obtenu plus de 25 récompenses et prix ! Résumé : Cette drôle d’aventure est un mélange de bande dessinée interactive et de casse-tête. Dans une ambiance de polar, on agence les différentes cases d’une planche de bande dessinée pour permettre le cheminement du héros. Bien plus qu’un simple puzzle, grâce à un système narratif mettant l’intrigue au premier plan, c’est une riche aventure dont on prend plaisir à résoudre les énigmes pour découvrir la suite de l’histoire.

  • Telemetry and Machine Learning to Speed-Up the Measure of Intelligence Through Video Games
    Telemetry and machine learning to speed-up the measure of intelligence through video games Mingxiao Guo[0000−0003−3627−5981], Pablo Guti´errez-S´anchez[0000−0002−6702−5726], Alejandro Ortega-Alvarez´ [0000−0000−0000−0000], Pedro A.

G´omez-Mart´ın[0000−0002−3855−7344] Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain fmingxguo,pabgut02,alejor01,pagoncal,maquirog,[email protected] Abstract. Recent research has shown a high correlation between the g factor (or general intelligence factor) and overall performance in video games. This relationship is held not only when playing brain games but also other generalist commercial titles. Unfortunately, these off-the-shelf games do not allow automatic extraction of in-game behavior data. As a result, researchers are often forced to manually register the game sessions metrics, reducing the gathered information and, as a consequence, the results. The aim of our work is to help to improve the data collection process used in those studies by: (1) reimplementing a small subset consisting of three of the games used in these former studies; (2) developing a telemetry system to automate and enhance the recording of in-game user events and variables; and (3) deploying a web platform to conduct an online experiment to collect such data. With the obtained data, we attempt to predict a player's final score in a given game from truncated play logs (up to a certain point in time) using neural networks and random forest. This later analysis could potentially allow future studies to shorten experiment times, thus increasing the viability of game-based intelligence assessment.

    nrik v He d a apa l sk Ma WHAT ARE THE GRAPHICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ASIAN AND WESTERN PLAYBALE FEMALE GAME CHARACTERS? And what do people with different ethnic backgrounds prefer? Bachelor Degree Project in Media Arts, Aesthetics and Narration 30 ECTS Spring term 2017 Lolo Lin Supervisor: Helena Granström Examiner: Lissa Holloway-Attaway Abstract This research aimed to investigate game developers' preferences and graphical differences between Chinese and Western female game characters. Parts of the survey were conducted in China and in cooperation with Game Hub Scandinavia (2015). For this research, an image analysis and two models were made. The image analysis analyzed common elements that exist between different female characters from Chinese and Western game toplists. One model was based on a Chinese game toplist and the other model was based on a Western game toplist. The survey was conducted through Internet surveys and interviews. Results showed that there were graphical differences between games from Chinese and Western game lists, but there is not a significant difference between game developers' preferences.
