  • A Basic Overview of Esports and the EIU Esports Club What Is Esports?
    A basic overview of eSports and the EIU eSports Club What is eSports? Multiplayer video games played at a competitive level. How is eSports different from traditional sports? The difference between the two is significant. While both are competitions that require strategy, teamwork, and fast reflexes, eSports is less reliant on physical ability and the risk of injury is nearly non-existent. eSports also allows teams to compete against each other without travel. What is the EIU eSports Club? We are a club with the goal of creating, organizing and training teams that will play video games competitively against other schools’ clubs and at various events. Which video games are played in eSports? The specific games are various and constantly changing. Typically, they are all games that are played against another player or a team of players. As new games are created and old games become less popular, the list of games with an active eSports community will change. What are the genres of video games typically played in eSports? First-person shooters, fighting, battle royale, MOBA and sports. What is a first-person shooter? A game viewed through the eyes of the character. Typically, two teams of players of several players attempt to eliminate the other team, complete a specific task and/or stop your opponent from completing a specific task. The games often resemble soldiers fighting other soldiers in war. What are some examples of a first-person-shooter played in eSports? Counter-Strike, Overwatch, and Call of Duty. What is a fighting game? A game in which a single player combats another with the goal of eliminating them.

  • Parallel Functional Programming Tetris Position Solver Introduction
    Derek Zhang (dhz2104) Trey Gilliland (jlg2266) Parallel Functional Programming Tetris Position Solver Introduction + Search Space: Tetris is a classic tile-based puzzle game in which the goal is to insert tetrominos into an existing matrix of blocks without making the highest row go over the top of the screen. A standard Tetris board is 10 blocks wide and 20 blocks tall. There are 7 possible tetris pieces, as shown below: The I, S, and Z blocks can be flipped horizontally and vertically. The L and J blocks can be flipped so that the long side is either on top, to the side, or on the bottom. The T block can be flipped four ways: the protruding square can either be on the top, bottom, left, or right. Only the O block cannot be flipped at all. When the squares that consist of a tetris tetromino fill an entire row, the row is cleared, giving the user points and causing the number of rows to decrease. In more modern Tetris games like Tetris Battle and Tetris 99, you are aware of the current piece and the next 5-6 pieces, so you can plan out moves ahead accordingly. Algorithm: The goal of our algorithm would be given a Tetris board configuration and the next N randomly generated pieces, determine the most optimal placement of these N pieces that will lead to the highest heuristic score and allow the player to continue playing. Some example heuristics for determining the optimality of a solution: ● Holes - Does this placement leave holes in the board? Holes are defined as enclosed gaps between pieces that would require the top line to be cleared to fill in.

  • Tetris Is NP-Hard Even with O(1) Rows Or Columns
    Journal of Information Processing Vol.0 1–19 (??? 1992) [DOI: 10.2197/ipsjjip.0.1] Regular Paper Tetris is NP-hard even with O(1) rows or columns Sualeh Asif1,a) Michael Coulombe1,b) Erik D. Demaine1,c) Martin L. Demaine1,d) Adam Hesterberg1,e) Jayson Lynch1,f) Mihir Singhal1,g) Received: xx xx, xxxx, Accepted: xx xx, xxxx Abstract: We prove that the classic falling-block video game Tetris (both survival and board clearing) remains NP-complete even when restricted to 8 columns, or to 4 rows, settling open problems posed over 15 years ago [2]. Our reduction is from 3-Partition, similar to the previous reduction for unrestricted board sizes, but with a better packing of buckets. On the positive side, we prove that 2-column Tetris (and 1-row Tetris) is polynomial. We also prove that the generalization of Tetris to larger k-omino pieces is NP-complete even when the board starts empty, and even when restricted to 3 columns or 2 rows or constant-size pieces. Finally, we present an animated Tetris font. Keywords: complexity, hardness, video games, font pieces can be played in sequence to either survive (not go 1. Introduction above the top row) or clear the entire board. (See Section 2 Tetris is among the best-selling [9], and perhaps best- for precise game rules.) This problem was proved NP-hard known, video games ever. Since its invention by Alexey for arbitrary board sizes in 2002 [2], and more recently for Pajitnov 35 years ago in 1984, over 80 versions have been the generalization to k-omino pieces for various k [3].

  • Therapeutic Video Game Recommendations How to Use This Guide
    Therapeutic Video Game Recommendations How to Use This Guide The purpose of this guide is to recommend therapeutic video games for children based on their symptoms. The games recommended in this guide were curated by researchers at EEDAR, a market-leading video game research firm, in collaboration with mental health researchers at UCSD. This guide was designed as a quick reference to help caretakers quickly select games for their patients. Caretakers can reference the category that best fits the symptoms of the patient and select one of the games listed. When selecting an appropriate game, the user should first select the appropriate symptom and age category of the child, and then select a title based on the available gaming platforms at the facility. Note: Virtual Reality Games are currently not recommended by the manufacturer for children under the age of 12. Methodology EEDAR operates the largest video game attribute database in the world containing over 170 million game facts. To create the recommendations in this guide, EEDAR collaborated with mental health researchers to create a hierarchy of over one hundred game features related to positive health. EEDAR then classified thousands of video games based on these features. EEDAR then collaborated with mental health researchers to determine which features should correspond to which symptom groups. EEDAR’s proprietary recommendation technology was used to select the titles recommended in this guide. Honorable Mention Good games specifically designed for a therapeutic purpose. › I, Hope (General Action) A beautiful coming of age adventure story about a young girl named Hope, whose town has been taken over by Cancer.
