It generates a set of static html and image files and uses Leaflet to display a nice interactive map. The Overviewer has been in active development for several years and has many features, including day and night lighting, cave rendering, mineral overlays, and many plugins for even more features! It is written mostly in Python with critical sections in C as an extension module. For a simple example of what your renders will look like, head over to The “Exmaple” Map.

  • Playing, Mapping, and Power a Critical Analysis of Using Minecraft in Spatial Design • Hamza Bashandy
    Playing, Mapping, and Power A Critical Analysis of Using Minecraft in Spatial Design • Hamza Bashandy Investigating the potential of video games as an aid to community mapping and participatory architectural design, the author discusses the use of the sandbox game Minecraft by the Block by Block Foundation in collaboration with Mojang Studios, Microsoft, and UN-Habitat for three projects—Model Street (Dandora Phase 2, in Nairobi, Kenya), Mind the Step (Jardim Naka- mura, in São Paulo, Brazil) and Former Marketplace (in Pristina, Kosovo). The author offers different perspectives or “lens” from which to view the projects, including as an architect (which he calls a spatial lens) and as a community member (which he dubs a player lens). Favoring agency over participant choices, he claims, the institutional forces at work can prevent true access to space making by either the foundation or the game, each of which suffers from accessibility problems for both players and the communi- ties. He argues for a need to look more closely into the politics of the Block by Block Foundation and Minecraft and seeks to make readers explicitly aware of the systemic mechanisms of exclusion. Key words: democracy and public space; marginalized communities; Minecraft; participatory design; power hierarchies; video games People around the world use digital media to aid civic participation and promote social justice. Many governmental and community organizations have changed their mission and functions as they adopt new digital tools and practices (Gordon and Mihailidis 2016). Similarly, digital games have been seen as a very potent vehicle adopted by many large-scale institutions such as the United Nations Human Settlement Program (UN-Habitat).

  • Studying the Distribution Platforms for Game Mods
    STUDYING THE DISTRIBUTION PLATFORMS FOR GAME MODS TO CREATE ACTIVE MODDING COMMUNITIES. by DANIEL LEE A thesis submitted to the School of Computing in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September 2019 Copyright © Daniel Lee, 2019 Abstract AMER loyalty is important for the sales of a game. However, the gaming in- dustry and the needs of gamers are rapidly increasing, making it difficult G for game developers to address these needs. Game mods are modifications of an original game, which can help game developers save cost and time. Hence, it is crucial for game developers to build and maintain an active modding community. In this thesis, we study mods to provide insights to game and mod developers on building an active modding community. An active modding community consists of two dimensions: (1) continuous growth of mods from mod developers, and (2) contin- uous adoption of mods from gamers. We investigated these two dimensions respec- tively: To help game developers understand how to help mod developers continuously deliver high quality mods, we investigate the release schedule and post-release sup- port of highly endorsed mods from the top 20 games on the Nexus Mods distribution platform. We observe that supporting the same modding tool within a game franchise i is associated with faster release of mods. We also observe that bug reports (i.e., post- release support) of mods is poor in quality, making it difficult to address many of them. However, solved bug reports are often resolved within one day.

This paper contains a collection of written experiences with this competition, by participants, judges, or- ganizers and advisors. We asked people to reflect both on the artifacts themselves, and on the competition in general. The aim of this paper is to offer a shareable and edited collection of arXiv:2108.02955v1 [cs.OH] 6 Aug 2021 experiences and qualitative feedback - which seem to contain a lot of insights on PCG and com- putational creativity, but would otherwise be lost once the output of the competition is reduced to scalar performance values. We reflect upon some organizational issues for AI competitions, and discuss the future of the GDMC competition. ∗Corresponding author, [email protected]. All other authors in alphabetical order.

It’s often compared to LEGO®​, and if you play Minecraft, ​ you’ll see why. Players can truly build anything that’s in their heads. The open-endedness of the game has created a culture of makers who dream up new things to make and then persevere to bring them to life. What is Modding? Modding is just jargon for modifying or altering the game in some way.
