All the used materials, references to the literature and the work of others have been referred to. This thesis has not been presented for examination anywhere else. Author: Sander Aasaväli 22.05.2017 3 Abstract Main subject for this thesis is choosing a scripting engine for TTÜ (Tallinna Tehnikaülikool) nanosatellite. The scripting engine must provide functionality, like logging, system debugging, determination, and perform certain tasks, like communicating with the bus, file writing and reading. The engine’s language must be powerful enough to fill our needs, yet small and simple enough to have as small flash and RAM (Random Access Memory) footprint as possible. The scripting engine should also be implemented on an external board (STM32f3discovery). This way the engine’s flash footprint, RAM footprint and performance can be tested in our conditions. The outcome was that, both Pawn and My-Basic were implemented on the external board. The flash and RAM footprint tests along with performance tests were executed and results were analysed. This thesis is written in English and is 38 pages long, including 5 chapters, 6 figures and 2 tables.

  • Emergent Gameplay: the Limits of Ludology and Narratology in Analyzing Video Game
    1 Emergent Gameplay: The Limits of Ludology and Narratology in Analyzing Video Game Narrative A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with distinction in English in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Benjamin Nanamaker The Ohio State University December 2005 Project Advisers: Professors Jared Gardner and David Herman, Department of English 2 Introduction Ever since the 1976 release of Death Race, an arcade game that let gamers run over stick people, there have been plenty of politicians, media outlets and watchdog groups monitoring video games for inappropriate content (Kent 90). Controversy has never been too far behind the video game industry as it has grown over the last 30 years from its small-scale roots into a $10 billion a year industry that rivals Hollywood (Riley). The industry has managed to overcome a 1993 Senate meeting about violent video games as well as a rash of school shootings in the late 90s that some attributed to the shooters’ obsession with first-person shooter games like Doom (Kent 467, 545). The latest video game series to receive attention from politicians and watchdog groups is the Grand Theft Auto series. Although the first game was released in 1997 on the Playstation home system, it wasn’t until the gameplay and graphics were refined in the 2001 release of Grand Theft Auto III that the game drew serious criticism. Its “go anywhere, do anything” aesthetic allowed gamers to engage in morally questionable acts like car jacking, arson, prostitution and murder. In June, the controversy came to a head when one gamer discovered a sex-based mini-game hidden deep in the code of the latest version of the game, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Lohr).

  • Extending a Closed-Source Game with Multiplayer Functionality
    University of Nevada, Reno Extending a Closed-Source Game with Multiplayer Functionality A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science with a major in Computer Science. by Mark Harmer Dr. Bobby D. Bryant, Thesis Advisor December 2010 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by MARK HARMER entitled Extending A Closed-Source Game With Multiplayer Functionality be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Bobby D. Bryant, Ph. D., Advisor Sushil J. Louis, Ph. D., Committee Member Jennifer Mahon, Ph. D., Graduate School Representative Marsha H. Read, Ph. D., Associate Dean, Graduate School December, 2010 i Abstract The process of adding additional functionality to closed-source applications is gener- ally not well known. This thesis covers the motivation, tools and design for extending a game with multiplayer functionality. The purpose of this thesis is to introduce the back- ground concepts and methods needed towards implementing functionality changes within any application. Since games attract a variety of fields relating to graphics, user interfaces, storage, artificial intelligence, networking, audio, etc. they are best suited to display the ability to add additional functionality. Games are also a great motivational tool towards developing extended functionality because the results can easily be shown to people that are not experts on the application. The game of Torchlight is chosen as a real-world target application for added function- ality. Multiplayer functionality is added to the otherwise single-player, closed-source game. Multiplayer on the game of Torchlight is shown to be working.

This paper examines what is known so far about the role of open source software development within the world of game mods and modding practices. Game modding has become a leading method for developing games by customizing or creating OSS extensions to game software in general, and to proprietary closed source software games in particular. What, why, and how OSS and CSS come together within an application system is the subject for this study.
