  • Implementation of 2D Turn-Based Strategy Game with Artificial Intelligence
    ASSIGNMENT OF BACHELOR’S THESIS Title: Implementation of 2D turn-based strategy game with AI Student: Ivan Štěpánek Supervisor: Ing. Eliška Šestáková Study Programme: Informatics Study Branch: Web and Software Engineering Department: Department of Software Engineering Validity: Until the end of summer semester 2019/20 Instructions The goal of this bachelor thesis is to create a prototype of 2D turn-based strategy game that is inspired by the game Advance Wars. In single-player mode, the strategy of the computer will be an AI that was trained to play through self-play, using a minimum of human input. Requirements: - It should be implemented as a desktop application using the C++ language. - The play must support a mode for several players and playing against artificial intelligence (AI). - Provide at least 4 various pre-created game levels. Research part: - The AI component in the requirements above constitutes the research part. - Evaluate different algorithms for developing the AI strategy. - Design a strategy that relies mostly on self-play and uses a minimum of human input. - Implement the strategy within the game. - Evaluate the quality of the game played by the AI by evaluating its success rate against players of varying skills.

IMPORTING THE AMERICAN DREAM: JAPANESE HARDWARE AND SOFT POWER By Kenneth S. Klein The deep and penetrating impact of Japanese products, whether economic or cultural, challenges America-centric assumptions about globalization. While most people think of globalization as something America did to the world, globalization can also be defined as what Japan did to America.1 The value of studying Japanese imports can also be seen in their continued and ubiquitous presence in American life: from Nintendo Games; to Honda Civics; to character goods such as Pokemon and Hello Kitty; as well as the rising interest and respect enjoyed by Japanese animation. In fact, the purchase and use of Japanese goods in recent American history became so common that when public awareness spiked in the early 1990s, it created a widespread sense of anxiety now known as the “Japan Panic.” For over three decades, consumers had failed to notice, or chose not to care about, just how many of their goods came from Japan.

  • The Naturalization of “Good” Violence in Recent Films
    THE NATURALIZATION OF “GOOD” VIOLENCE IN RECENT FILMS ABOUT THE WAR ON TERROR by Alejandro Botia A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Media and Communication Middle Tennessee State University May 2017 Dr. Jane Marcellus, Chair Dr. Sanjay Asthana Dr. Robert Kalwinsky To my sons Martin, Simon and my beloved wife Carolina ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I would like to thank Middle Tennessee State University for giving me the opportunity of pursuing my postgraduate studies and experiencing again the fresh air of the academic environment. I would also like particularly to express my gratitude to Dr. Jane Marcellus, my thesis advisor and Committee Chair, whose guidance, support and encouragement were a constant source of motivation and an invaluable input for the achievement of this research. Special thanks to Dr. Sanjay Asthana and Dr. Robert Kalwinsky, the other two committee members, for their suggestions, ideas and materials that enriched the scope of this study. Last, but not least, my gratitude to the Writing Center at MTSU and all the editors (Jamie, Austin, Jane, Ellie, Stacey, Erica, Jency) who correct my grammar and made these pages more readable. iii ABSTRACT This thesis undertakes a narrative analysis of three recent films about the war on terror: Olympus Has Fallen (2013), American Sniper (2014) and London Has Fallen (2016) to study how these movies produce meaning with regard to the worldwide fight against terrorism and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Drawing on Barthes´ theory of semiotics and Foucault´s notion of Subjectification and Knowledge/power, this research explores the construction of the terrorist character and the Arab enemy in fictional narratives and how those meanings produce a body of knowledge which defines the imaginary space to think and talk about such phenomena.
