Moreover, an analysis of certain game engines is also presented. First of all, a bibliographic review takes place, according to the appropriate characteristics that should be studied for each game engine. These characteristics are confirmed by a case study, which concludes the two most developed game engines, from those discussed in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to inform users about the features that various game development tools support, and to help users choose the most suitable for them. The case study focuses on issues like the way to develop a game for mobile devices using the Unity game engine and Unreal Engine 4, by following the steps that are indicated when handling the game engines. In conclusion, it was noted that there is not one game engine that is better than the others, but a game engine that can be more suitable for a person than the others.

Wielowątkowość jest postrzegana jako trudne zadanie do wdrożenia i nie jest w pełni rozwinięta. Programiści często unikają jej, ponieważ do prawidłowego wdrożenia wymaga wiele pracy. Według mnie wynikający z tego wzrost wydajności jest warty tych kosztów. Ponieważ nie ma wielu silników gier, które w pełni wykorzystują wielowątkowość, celem tej pracy jest zaprojektowanie i zaproponowanie wielowątkowej architektury silnika gry 3D, a także przedstawienie głównych systemów używanych do stworzenia takiego silnika gry 3D. Praca skupia się na technologii i architekturze silnika gry i jego podsystemach wraz ze strukturami danych i algorytmami wykorzystywanymi do ich stworzenia.

Tutkimuksen toimeksiantajana toimi Linna Games Oy, joka toivoi selvitettäväksi pelimoottorin kehityksen aika-arvion ja kustannukset. Linna Games Oy:n työ- harjoittelussa kehitettyyn prototyyppi 2D-pelimoottoriin ja sen kehityskokemuksiin viitattiin tutkimuk- sessa. Tutkimuksessa myös hyödynnettiin neljän eri pelialan ammattilaisten mielipiteitä ja kokemuksia pelimoottorikehityksen suhteen. Ensin kaupallisia pelimoottoreita vertailtiin toisiinsa erityisesti niiden lisenssimaksujen suhteen. Seuraa- vaksi käsiteltiin pelimoottorin kehityksen menetelmät, hyödyt ja haitat. Tämän jälkeen omakehitteisen pelimoottorin kehityksen kustannuksia vertailtiin kaupallisten pelimoottoreiden lisenssimaksuihin. Lisens- simaksujen laskelmissa käytettiin kahta kuvitteellista peliä, joiden menestystason perusteella laskettiin käy- tettyjen pelimoottorien osuus esimerkkiyrityksen kokonaiskustannuksista. Vaikka oman pelimoottorin kehityksen voisi nähdä eduksi sen rajattomien kehitysmahdollisuuksien nimissä, tämän suuret kustannukset ja aika-arviot eivät puoltaneet tätä kannattavampana

    Mestrado em Multimédia Implementação de Exposições Virtuais em Ambiente Tridimensional em Museus de Ciência e Técnica João Carlos Carvalho Aires de Sousa (070549009) Licenciado (Pré-Bolonha) em Engenharia Eletrotécnica e de Computadores pela Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto Dissertação submetida para satisfação parcial dos requisitos de grau de Mestre em Multimédia Dissertação realizada sob a orientação do Professor Doutor António Augusto Sousa, do Departamento de Engenharia Informática da Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto e sob a coorientação da Mestre Susana Maria Moreira de Figueiredo Medina Vieira, docente convidada do Departamento de Ciências e Técnicas do Património da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto Porto, setembro de 2011 II Resumo O estudo realizado na presente dissertação surge da necessidade de agilização do processo de criação de exposições virtuais em museus de ciência e técnica. O principal objetivo deste trabalho consiste em desenvolver um método tecnológico que permita a profissionais de museu a criação, de uma forma fácil e acessível, exposições em ambiente tridimensional. As tecnologias 3D adaptam-se à natureza interativa associada a objetos museológicos de ciência e técnica, e constituem um fator de preferência para a representação das suas exposições em contexto digital, permitindo o acesso aos acervos museológicos sem restrições temporais e de manipulação. A análise teórica da presente investigação revelou que muitos museus de ciência e técnica não apresentam os seus conteúdos digitais numa dinâmica 3D interativa. Por outro lado, constatou-se a grande complexidade e diminuta flexibilidade dos atuais sistemas de criação de exposições e de museus virtuais em contexto tridimensional. A simplicidade, flexibilidade e qualidade gráfica dos atuais motores de criação de jogos de vídeo em ambiente tridimensional, apresentam a capacidade necessária para a sua personalização e reconfiguração num sistema de suporte tecnológico para a criação de exposições virtuais.

  • The Architecture and Evolution of Computer Game Engines
    The architecture and evolution of computer game engines University of Oulu Department of Information Processing Sciences B.Sc thesis Rainer Koirikivi 12.3.2015 2 Abstract In this study, the architecture and evolution of computer game engines are analyzed by means of a literature review on the academic research body on the subject. The history of computer games, from early 1960s to modern day is presented, with a focus on the architectures behind the games. In the process, this study will answer a selection of research questions. The topics of the questions include identifying the common parts of a game engine, identifying the architectural trends in the evolution from early to present-day games and engines, identifying ways the process of evolution has affected the present state of the engines, and presenting some possible future trends for the evolution. As findings of the study, common parts of a game engine were identified as the parts that are specific to every game, with the suggestion that more detailed analyses could be made by concentrating on different genres. Increase in the size, modularity and portability of game engines, and improved tooling associated with them were identified as general trends in the evolution from first games to today. Various successful design decisions behind certain influential games were identified, and the way they affect the present state of the engines were discussed. Finally, increased utilization of parallelism, and the move of game engines from genre-specific towards genre-neutral were identified as possible future trends in the evolution. Keywords computer game, video game, game engine, game, software architecture, architecture, evolution 3 Foreword I'd like to thank my thesis supervisor Jouni Lappalainen for his continued support on what turned to be an epic journey into the fields of game engines and academic writing.

  • Orchestrating the In-Game Agency. Towards the Inaesthetics of the Code in Doom 3
    The Philosophy of Computer Games Conference, Kraków 2017 Orchestrating the in-game agency. Towards the inaesthetics of the code in Doom 3 Mateusz Felczak Jagiellonian University, Kraków Introduction This paper examines how the process of assigning playful space within the video game engine prepares it for players’ actions. The method will be demonstrated with the case study of Doom 3 (id Software 2004), which source code has already been the subject of aesthetic evaluation (see McGrath 2016). Research will be presented in two intertwined parts: the first one will focus on the theoretical and methodological background, while the second will examine the selected properties of Doom 3 code and its practical implementations in organizing the game space in relation to players’ actions and their status within the game world. I propose to use two of the works by French philosopher Alain Badiou as a methodological scaffolding for my analysis: Logics of Worlds (2009) and Handbook of Inaesthetics (2005a). The first one will provide the necessary definitions of object and space, and their relation to the work of art. The second of my sources, Handbook of Inaesthetics, will introduce the titular concept, which purpose is to shrink the gap between the art and philosophy, but with “maintaining that art is itself a producer of truths” (Badiou 2005a, p. 2). Among the inaesthetic toolkit, I will undertake a closer look into the practice of translation, and work with this concept to establish a link between the source code, game play elements it evokes, and the possible actions of the player who wishes to engage in a dialogue with the game rules.
