Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms— children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. ESRB Game Ratings The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the age- appropriateness and content of computer and video games. This information can help consumers make informed purchase decisions about which games they deem suitable for their children and families. ESRB ratings have two equal parts: • Rating Symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game. These symbols appear on the front of virtually every game box available for retail sale or rental in the United States and Canada. • Content Descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern. The descriptors appear on the back of the box next to the rating symbol. For Dolby Digital Surround Sound This game is presented in Dolby® Digital surround sound. Connect your PC with Dolby ON FRONT ON BACK Digital Live technology to a sound system with Dolby Digital decoding using a S/PDIF VIDEO digital audio cable.

  • Foundations for Music-Based Games
    Die approbierte Originalversion dieser Diplom-/Masterarbeit ist an der Hauptbibliothek der Technischen Universität Wien aufgestellt (http://www.ub.tuwien.ac.at). The approved original version of this diploma or master thesis is available at the main library of the Vienna University of Technology (http://www.ub.tuwien.ac.at/englweb/). MASTERARBEIT Foundations for Music-Based Games Ausgeführt am Institut für Gestaltungs- und Wirkungsforschung der Technischen Universität Wien unter der Anleitung von Ao.Univ.Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Peter Purgathofer und Univ.Ass. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Martin Pichlmair durch Marc-Oliver Marschner Arndtstrasse 60/5a, A-1120 WIEN 01.02.2008 Abstract The goal of this document is to establish a foundation for the creation of music-based computer and video games. The first part is intended to give an overview of sound in video and computer games. It starts with a summary of the history of game sound, beginning with the arguably first documented game, Tennis for Two, and leading up to current developments in the field. Next I present a short introduction to audio, including descriptions of the basic properties of sound waves, as well as of the special characteristics of digital audio. I continue with a presentation of the possibilities of storing digital audio and a summary of the methods used to play back sound with an emphasis on the recreation of realistic environments and the positioning of sound sources in three dimensional space. The chapter is concluded with an overview of possible categorizations of game audio including a method to differentiate between music-based games.

  • A Standard Audio API for C++: Motivation, Scope, and Basic Design
    A Standard Audio API for C++: Motivation, Scope, and Basic Design Guy Somberg ([email protected]) ​ Guy Davidson ([email protected]) ​ Timur Doumler ([email protected]) ​ Document #: P1386R2 Date: 2019-06-17 Project: Programming Language C++ Audience: SG13, LEWG “C++ is there to deal with hardware at a low level, and to abstract away from it with zero overhead.” – Bjarne Stroustrup, Cpp.chat Episode #441 Abstract This paper proposes to add a low-level audio API to the C++ standard library. It allows a C++ program to interact with the machine’s sound card, and provides basic data structures for processing audio data. We argue why such an API is important to have in the standard, why existing solutions are insufficient, and the scope and target audience we envision for it. We provide a brief introduction into the basics of digitally representing and processing audio data, and introduce essential concepts such as audio devices, channels, frames, buffers, and samples. We then describe our proposed design for such an API, as well as examples how to use it. An implementation of the API is available online. Finally, we mention some open questions that will need to be resolved, and discuss additional features that are not yet part of the API as presented but will be added in future papers. 1 See [CppChat]. The relevant quote is at approximately 55:20 in the video. 1 Contents 1 Motivation 3 1.1 Why Does C++ Need Audio? 3 1.2 Audio as a Part of Human Computer Interaction 4 1.3 Why What We Have Today is Insufficient 5 1.4 Why not Boost.Audio?

  • Game Engine Anatomy 101, Part I April 12, 2002 By: Jake Simpson
    ExtremeTech - Print Article 10/21/02 12:07 PM Game Engine Anatomy 101, Part I April 12, 2002 By: Jake Simpson We've come a very long way since the days of Doom. But that groundbreaking title wasn't just a great game, it also brought forth and popularized a new game-programming model: the game "engine." This modular, extensible and oh-so-tweakable design concept allowed gamers and programmers alike to hack into the game's core to create new games with new models, scenery, and sounds, or put a different twist on the existing game material. CounterStrike, Team Fortress, TacOps, Strike Force, and the wonderfully macabre Quake Soccer are among numerous new games created from existing game engines, with most using one of iD's Quake engines as their basis. click on image for full view TacOps and Strike Force both use the Unreal Tournament engine. In fact, the term "game engine" has come to be standard verbiage in gamers' conversations, but where does the engine end, and the game begin? And what exactly is going on behind the scenes to push all those pixels, play sounds, make monsters think and trigger game events? If you've ever pondered any of these questions, and want to know more about what makes games go, then you've come to the right place. What's in store is a deep, multi-part guided tour of the guts of game engines, with a particular focus on the Quake engines, since Raven Software (the company where I worked recently) has built several titles, Soldier of Fortune most notably, based on the Quake engine.
