  • List of Possible Games
    Part 4 Game Selection CS212 GBA April 9, 2008 Below is a list of game suggestions for Part 4 of CS212G, separated into categories of difficulty. If you don't know what a game is, simply Google for: \game title" flash. One of the first few links will be a playable flash version of the game. Note that the versions you implement do not have to have all of the features of the flash versions. 1 Easy • Space Invaders • Lunar Lander • Centipede 2 Intermediate We heavily suggest that these games be implemented as a group. They all involve alot more work, how much more depends on what the scope of features you wish to implement are. • Pacman • Donkey Kong • Frogger • Bomberman 3 Difficult We require these be implemented as a group. They all would be best to use the GBA in ways not explicitly covered in this class (although TAs will be available to guide you in extra topics). • Tetris 1 • Missile Defender • Asteroids 4 1337 Both of these make heavy and complicated use of the affine transformation matricies of sprites and backgrounds to produce psuedo-3D effects. Very cool, not for the faint of heart. • Mario Kart • Antartic Adventure 5 Your Own Idea! If you have an idea for a game you'd like to implement for this part of CS212, that's great! It can be either a game that exists already or an original idea. If this is what you'd like to do, then please type up a short document (about 1/2 page) about the game you'd like to implement, and most importantly, what features you will implement, and how long you believe it will take you (and your group) to implement all these features.

  • Exploration in a Reverse-RPG
    Exploration in a Reverse-RPG Robogeddon, a Casual Real-Time Strategy Game A Major Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Bachelor of Science On April 28th, 2010 Submitted By: Riley Brown, Sean Crepeau, Karl Gibson, Adam Pastorello, Philip Tang, and Ian Williams Advised By: Professor Joseph Farbrook, Professor Jennifer deWinter and Professor Joseph Beck Exploration in a Reverse RPG – Robogeddon, a Casual Real-Time Strategy Game Abstract This report discusses the design, implementation, and analysis of Robogeddon, a casual real-time- strategy game for the PC, and was created as a WPI MQP for the computer science, interactive media and game development, and professional writing majors. Players in Robogeddon have the unique experience of taking on the role of an overwhelming agent of destruction, in contrast to the typical heroic archetype of many role-playing-games. Robogeddon incorporates “tried and true” elements from classic RTS games, as well as unique new features to attract more casual gamers. This report details the designers’ vision, in terms of artistic style and theme, as well as gameplay and the player experience. Additionally, the report will describe the approach to implementation and the challenges therein. Finally, the creators of Robogeddon describe the lessons learned from the process, and advice to future teams at WPI and beyond. 2 Exploration in a Reverse RPG – Robogeddon, a Casual Real-Time Strategy Game Acknowledgements We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Professors Farbrook, deWinter, and Beck for their continual guidance in bringing our vision to life.

  • Navigating the Videogame
    From above, from below: navigating the videogame A thesis presented by Daniel Golding 228306 to The School of Culture and Communication in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in the field of Cultural Studies in the School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne Supervisor: Dr. Fran Martin October 2008 ABSTRACT The study of videogames is still evolving. While many theorists have accurately described aspects of the medium, this thesis seeks to move the study of videogames away from previously formal approaches and towards a holistic method of engagement with the experience of playing videogames. Therefore, I propose that videogames are best conceptualised as navigable, spatial texts. This approach, based on Michel de Certeau’s concept of strategies and tactics, illuminates both the textual structure of videogames and the immediate experience of playing them. I also regard videogame space as paramount. My close analysis of Portal (Valve Corporation, 2007) demonstrates that a designer can choose to communicate rules and fiction, and attempt to influence the behaviour of players through strategies of space. Therefore, I aim to plot the relationship between designer and player through the power structures of the videogame, as conceived through this new lens. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iv CHAPTER ONE: Introduction 1 AN EVOLVING FIELD 2 LUDOLOGY AND NARRATOLOGY 3 DEFINITIONS, AND THE NAVIGABLE TEXT 6 PLAYER EXPERIENCE AND VIDEOGAME SPACE 11 MARGINS OF DISCUSSION 13 CHAPTER TWO: The videogame from above: the designer as strategist 18 PSYCHOGEOGRAPHY 18 PORTAL AND THE STRATEGIES OF DESIGN 20 STRUCTURES OF POWER 27 RAILS 29 CHAPTER THREE: The videogame from below: the player as tactician 34 THE PLAYER AS NAVIGATOR 36 THE PLAYER AS SUBJECT 38 THE PLAYER AS BRICOLEUR 40 THE PLAYER AS GUERRILLA 43 CHAPTER FOUR: Conclusion 48 BIBLIOGRAPHY 50 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr.
