초록

컴퓨터게임은 재미를 위해 지속적으로 유저의 몰입상태를 유지시켜야 한다. 몰입이론에 따르면 몰입상태의 유지는 유저의 게임숙련도와 게임 난이도의 계속적인 균형을 요구한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 제로섬 게임을 가정할 수 있는 캐주얼 액션게임에 적용할 수 있는 9등급 수준의 게임숙련도 평가방법을 제안하였고 부가적으로 유저가 경험한 9등급 수준의 게임난이도 추측방법을 제안하였다. 제안하는 방법은 조건별 수학식에 의한 판정방법이기 때문에 신속하고 쉽게 구현이 가능하다. 커스터마이징한 팩맨게임에 대해 제안하는 방법의 정확성을 실험해본 결과 숙련도의 정확성은 평균적으로 1.2등급의 차이가 나타났고 난이도의 정확성은 평균적으로 1.81등급 차이가 나타났다. 실험결과를 통해 제안하는 방법을 제로섬 조건을 만족하는 캐주얼 액션 게임에 적용할 수 있는 정확성을 갖고 있음을 확인하였다.

Computer games must keep the user immersed for fun. According to the immersion theory, maintaining the user's immersive state requires a continuous balance of game skill level and game difficulty level This study proposes a game skill estimation method of 9th grade that can be applied to a casual action game that can assume a zero-sum game, and additionally proposed a difficulty guessing method. The proposed methods can be implemented quickly and easily because it is a method determining by conditional mathematical expressions. Experiments on the accuracy of the proposed methods for the customized Pac-Man game show that the accuracy of the skill level was 1.2 grade as the difference on the average and the accuracy of the game difficulty level was 1.81 grade the difference on the average. The results show that the proposed methods are accurate enough to be applied to casual action games satisfying the zero-sum condition.
