FINITENESS PROPERTIES FOR RELATIVES OF BRAIDED HIGMAN–THOMPSON GROUPS RACHEL SKIPPER AND XIAOLEI WU Abstract. We study the finiteness properties of the braided Higman–Thompson group bVd,r(H) with labels in H ≤ Bd, and bFd,r(H) and bTd,r(H) with labels in H ≤ P Bd where Bd is the braid group with d strings and P Bd is its pure braid subgroup. We show that for all d ≥ 2 and r ≥ 1, the group bVd,r(H) (resp. bTd,r(H) or bFd,r(H)) is of type Fn if and only if H is. Our result in particular confirms a recent conjecture of Aroca and Cumplido. Introduction The family of Thompson’s groups and the many groups in the extended Thompson family have long been studied for their many interesting properties. Thompson’s group F is the first example of a type F∞, torsion-free group with infinite cohomological dimension [BG84] while Thompson’s groups T and V provided the first examples of finitely presented simple groups. More recently the braided and labeled braided Higman–Thompson groups have garnered attention in part due their connections with big mapping class groups. The braided version of Thompson’s group V , which we refer to here as bV , was first intro- duced independently by Brin and Dehornoy [Bri07], [Deh06]. Brady, Burillo, Cleary, and Stein introduced braided F , or bF . The groups bV and bF were shown to be finitely presented in [Bro06] and [BBCS08], respectively, and this was extended to show that both of these groups + + are of type F∞ in [BFM 16]. -

The games have been developed for various purposes including entertainment, informational purposes, marketing, and advertising purposes. Game developers are continually developing multi- platform games that can be played on computers, mobile devices like iPads and smartphones and other video game devices. Today, mobile games consume a huge market share within the games industry. Considering that nearly two billion mobile devices are running a Unity-made game, it is probable that quite a large majority of these new companies will be using Unity to develop mobile games. Mobile games are becoming more and more popular and well-received by different types of users around the world. A lot of frameworks that allow developers to create the games in a faster and easier way. The Unity 3D engine is employed by an outsized majority of developers to make games. It owns a forty-five percent market share and is considered one of the biggest development tools today This project involves the approach of creating a 2D mobile game using Unity. -

The Thirty-Fifth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-21) The Undergraduate Games Corpus: A Dataset for Machine Perception of Interactive Media Barrett R. Anderson, Adam M. Smith Design Reasoning Lab, University of California Santa Cruz [email protected], [email protected] Abstract of machine perception techniques that directly address the unique features of interactive media. Machine perception research primarily focuses on process- ing static inputs (e.g. images and texts). We are interested This paper contributes a new, annotated corpus of 755 in machine perception of interactive media (such as games, games. We provide full game source code and assets, in apps, and complex web applications) where interactive au- many cases licensed for reuse, that were collected with in- dience choices have long-term implications for the audience formed consent for their use in AI research. In comparison experience. While there is ample research on AI methods for to lab-created game clones intended as AI testbeds, these the task of playing games (often just one game at a time), this games are complete works intended as human experiences, work is difficult to apply to new and in-development games and they represent a range of design polish rather than being or to use for non-playing tasks such as similarity-based re- filtered to only commercially successful games. By offering trieval or authoring assistance. In response, we contribute a games for a variety of platforms (from micro-games in Bitsy corpus of 755 games and structured metadata, spread across and text-oriented stories in Twine to the heavyweight games several platforms (Twine, Bitsy, Construct, and Godot), with full source and assets available and appropriately licensed built in the Godot Engine), we set up future research with a for use and redistribution in research. -

Much of the plastic waste is a result of wrongful disposal or improper recycling category placement. Improperly recycled plastics can occur anywhere from the household, where it is stated that only 9% of plastic is correctly recycled, to universities [1]. Besides more education on proper recycling practices, higher education systems need to investigate potential areas of instruction that would allow for plastic reuse. One area includes courses dealing with 3D printing; 3D printing filament's yearly consumption is estimated at around 30 million pounds worldwide. -

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. This paper addresses localization from a game development perspective by studying the state of tool support for a localization work in general purpose game engines. Using a systematic mapping study, the most commonly used game engines and their official tool libraries are studied. The results indicate that even though localization tools exists for the game engines included in the study, the visibility, availability, and functionality differ. Localization tools that are user facing, i.e., used to create localization, are scarce while many are tool facing, i.e., used to import localization kits made outside the production pipeline. 1.

Getting Started with Torque
1 Getting Started with Torque (Based on Kevin Harris’ Weapons tutorial: http://www.codesampler.com/torque. htm) Objectives Upon finishing this exercise you should be able to: 1. Clone an existing game directory to start your own game. 2. Create a short-cut to run your game. 3. Use the in-game console to run arbitrary script commands. 4. Get a feel for the overall structure of Torque game assets. 5. Add models, textures, and scripts to a game. Resources 1. Rocket Launcher mesh, scripts, etc.: http://cs.potsdam.edu/ faculty/laddbc/workshop34/RocketLauncher.zip 1. Clone tutorial.base to rocket.launcher Open the Windows Explorer. Navigate to the directory where you installed the Torque Game Engine (C:\Torque\TGE_1_5_2 by default). Navigate down to example. Take note of the folders starter.fps, starter.racing, and tutorial.base. These three folders are the roots of sample games provided by GarageGames as part of the TGE. They are, unsurprisingly, a first-person shooter, a racer, and a simple tutorial. One of the easiest ways to start a new game is to base it off of an existing game; these three games are yours to modify as you see fit so any one of them is a good place to start. We will start with tutorial.base because it is the simplest of the three folders. Copy the tutorial.base folder in example and rename the copy to rocket.launcher. 2. Create a short-cut to run rocket.launcher. All of the TGE demonstration games use the same executable program, torqueDemo.exe in the example folder where we copied the script folder.
