  • Game Level Layout from Design Specification
    EUROGRAPHICS 2014 / B. Lévy and J. Kautz Volume 33 (2014), Number 2 (Guest Editors) Game Level Layout from Design Specification Chongyang Ma∗z Nicholas Vining∗ Sylvain Lefebvrey Alla Sheffer∗ ∗ University of British Columbia y ALICE/INRIA z University of Southern California Abstract The design of video game environments, or levels, aims to control gameplay by steering the player through a sequence of designer-controlled steps, while simultaneously providing a visually engaging experience. Traditionally these levels are painstakingly designed by hand, often from pre-existing building blocks, or space templates. In this paper, we propose an algorithmic approach for automatically laying out game levels from user-specified blocks. Our method allows designers to retain control of the gameplay flow via user-specified level connectivity graphs, while relieving them from the tedious task of manually assembling the building blocks into a valid, plausible layout. Our method produces sequences of diverse layouts for the same input connectivity, allowing for repeated replay of a given level within a visually different, new environment. We support complex graph connectivities and various building block shapes, and are able to compute complex layouts in seconds. The two key components of our algorithm are the use of configuration spaces defining feasible relative positions of building blocks within a layout and a graph-decomposition based layout strategy that leverages graph connectivity to speed up convergence and avoid local minima. Together these two tools quickly steer the solution toward feasible layouts. We demonstrate our method on a variety of real-life inputs, and generate appealing layouts conforming to user specifications.

  • Practical Impacts of Design-Build on the Design Engineer
    Practical Impacts of Design-Build on the Design Engineer Presented by: Joseph C. Staak, Esq. Smith, Currie & Hancock LLP 2700 Marquis One Tower 245 Peachtree Center Avenue, NE Atlanta, GA 30303-1227 Tel: 404.582.8026 [email protected] www.smithcurrie.com November 2012 NOTES Practical Impacts of Design-Build on the Design Engineer I. INTRODUCTION Project delivery using Design-build has become increasingly popular over the last thirty years. Owners have recognized the advantages of using a single source of responsibility for a project’s design and construction. Many contractors have recognized the popularity of design-build and have made adjustments to their business model allowing them to offer this one-stop system for project delivery. Architects and engineers also recognize that, unless they want to avoid this ever growing segment of the project design market, they too must adapt to working directly with the contractor. Nearly half of all commercial construction in the United States is being awarded using design-build as the project delivery vehicle, and the reasons are obvious. Owners perceive multiple advantages in using design-build. These advantages include, but are not limited to, a single source of responsibility for design and construction, the increased risk design-build transfers to the design- builder, the opportunity to fast track design and construction to reduce the time from concept to completion, and the owner’s ability to take advantage of the design-builder’s expertise in identifying design solutions. Changes in public procurement during the last 20 years have precipitated an explosion in the use of design-build by government agencies.

  • Designer 2025 Summary
    AIGA DESIGNER 2025: WHY DESIGN EDUCATION SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO TRENDS ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Draft 8/21/17 Twentieth-century principles of design Most college-level design programs in the United States trace their curricular heritage and pedagogical practices to the Bauhaus and other modernist efforts to improve the function and appearance of messages, products, and environments. The typical location of design study in departments or colleges of art emphasized the visual qualities of objects, mastery of craft, and individual authorship as core values. And the trade-based history of design encouraged resistance to the development of theory and substantive study across disciplines for much of the twentieth century. The principles guiding design practice in the decades following World War II were those of an industrial economy. Design was improved through a linear, causal process of incremental change that identified root causes of friction and eliminated problems one at a time. Constraints defining the scope of design work were known, mostly limited to physical objects and their production, and perceived to be consistent in their influence over time. A primary role for design was to reduce the number of interacting variables in the problem context; to simplify complexity, not only in form, but also among competing priorities that required resolution. The stopping point of the design process was “almost perfect.” The design of new editions or related objects repeated the development process for each variation. Strategically, design was at the cosmetic end of top-down decision-making and appearance differentiated companies in the marketplace. Communication strategists viewed people in broad demographic terms, targeting them as passive consumers of segmented marketing, not through substantive differences in the qualities of their experiences.
