The purpose of this study is to develope a criterion for evaluation on game-style courseware by the application of HCI theory. The HCI theory, which deals with principles or methods for developing systems people can use conveniently and pleasantly, has been applied to overall area of program development. And it also has been widely used to evaluate learning programs. However, there have been few studies on a game-style courseware evaluation on the basis of the HCI theory. Thus, it is necessary to apply the HCI theory to studies on the game-style courseware evaluation. This paper shows that evaluation criteria are developed on three viewpoint bases : usefulness, usability, and affect which are as elements in HCI. The evaluation criteria developed in this paper can be applied to a basis for evaluation on game-style coursewares.

Game engine, materialized by a library or a shape of the module, is providing many ability for developing game. Because of the high cost of developing game, game engine plays a big role on game developing urea by how it provide it's efficiency. In other words, the message scheme, which occur often while carrying out the game, highly affect on how fast it manage, its efficiency, and system's efficiency. Also, it is one of the important urea that needed to be considered while developing the game engine. In this paper, we suggest managing the message scheme technique by Lua script language, proving its suggested technique by developing $O_2$ engine itself, and analyzing it's capacity in order to show its efficiency.

Various types of games have been published in a smart phone game market. However, there are little serious simulation games among them. In this study, parking simulation game has been developed and published on the Apple app store and Android market, to analyze the usability and prospects of the smart phone based serious simulation game. Developed game was designed to give users realistic simulation experience with immersion in the smart phone environment. In case of Apple app store, more than 300 thousands download have been recorded. This means serious simulation games have much more potential for commercial value, even though there are constrains with small display and user interface.

The information represented by graphic is preferred more than by text to the game generation familiar to computer games in the cognitive style. The learning to solve the math problems represented by graphic is significantly effective to improve learner's problem-solving power in math education. In this paper, we proposed a method of graphic representation of mathematical sentences for effective learning of the game generation. The proposed method arranges the unit informations in the logical structure and represent the logical interrelation between the informations by symbols, line segments, or arrows using the graphic elements with good visibility for the game generation to recognize easily and to understand accurately the logical meaning. The proposed method is able to represent accurately the math sentences until the detail level that appears the tense and the voice of the sentences differently from the previous graphic representation method's ability. The proposed method could be used as learning tools and used widely to represent graphically mathematical informations for the instructional scaffolding of an educational game in oder that the game generation could learn effectively.

본 논문에서는 스마트폰 환경의 혼합현실 기반 인터페이스를 사용한 영어단어 학습 게임 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 영어단어 학습 콘텐츠를 저작할 수 있는 저작도구와, 게임을 진행할 수 있게 해주는 스마트폰 인터페이스, 저작된 학습 콘텐츠를 실행하는 카드 매칭 게임 어플리케이션으로 구성되어있다. 이 시스템은 텍스트, 이미지, 비디오, 3D애니메이션 형식의 단어 카드를 제공하여 단순 이미지 형식을 사용한 방법보다 좀 더 구체적으로 단어를 묘사할 수 있다. 그리고 부모가 원활히 게임을 진행할 수 있도록 혼합현실 기반 인터페이스를 제공한다. 혼합현실 기반 인터페이스는 개인화된 정보를 부모에게 제공하여 부모가 사전 지식 없이 영어 단어 교육을 할 수 있도록 도움을 준다. 본 논문에서는 보급이 저조한 PDA와 UMPC대신, 최근 보급이 확산되고 있는 스마트폰에 혼합현실을 구현하여 인터페이스의 접근성을 높이고자 하였다.

Since the players in online games seek fun, emotional aspects may be important factors in the pleasure-oriented information systems. This study attempted to verify the effects of characteristic factors of games (fun, challenge, compensation, and diversity) on emotion and customer satisfaction in game portal sites. The study established the research model on the foundation of precedent researches related to online games, emotion, and customer satisfaction. The study conducted online and offline survey on individuals with experiences in using online game portal sites. 206 samples were used to test the research hypotheses. By using Structural Equation Modeling, The study found the following results. First, it was revealed that characteristics of games had positive effects on emotion in game portal sites and indirect effects on user satisfaction. Second, the study analyzed the difference between low user group and high user group. It was revealed that the characteristics of games had positive effects on emotion in the low user group, but only challenge factor influenced on emotion in the high user group.

Sociability is an inherent part of human life and also possesses an important value as a comprehensive ability. While the lack of sociability has been pointed out as a representative problem of game use in general, this paper analyzed studies on the relationship between online video games and social competence. In this field, the view that the relationship in the online game may replace or complement the actual relationship and will potentially hinder the development of sociability currently faces a conflict with the opinion that online video games may not directly have a negative effect on sociability but rather result in a positive outcome by providing a social learning space. In a large scale survey that measured the use of online games, psychological characteristics, and social competence, no distinct relationship between game use and degradation of sociability was observed. Based on this analysis, we suggest that efforts are necessary to break away from the stereotype that online game play may cause a decline in sociability and to improve the validity of related research.

The main goal of this research is to invest the difficulties in the process of developing serious game for science learning to acquire the suggestion. We analysed the journals written by developers of game scenario on the procedure of the development and on the review of the accomplished game. Then we also interviewed the scenario developers as well as game developers. When interviewing the game developers, we passed them the thoughts and questions of scenario developers. The possible difficulties in developing serious game are form the difference of cognitions on the skills which can be embodied in the development process and interaction and communication problem between scenario developers and game developers. As a consequence of the research, we acquired some suggestions for developing serious game as follows; 1) Scenario developers and game developers must understand the concepts of serious game as well as learning theory; 2) Both scenario developers and game developers should be aware of secured technological capacity and allowed time period. 3) Scenario developer should take a part of game developer' role as using a learning contents authoring tool; 4) Scenario developers have to consistently interact with game developers in developing the games; 5) Scenario should be concretely described in detail; and 6) A Supervisor is essential to control both scenario developers and game developers.

Game software is tremendous popularity in inside and outside of the country, so it rises market value. Therefore, it is important to study for the evaluation models of game software. In a general way, I think that ISO/IEC 9126 is the international standard of the software quality testing. Especially, game software quality has been more important on users and developers, so we need the compliance testing model of the game software. In this paper, we evaluate the game software quality objectively and quantitatively, we propose the software quality metrics of testing. Also, we propose the evaluation model of game software on the basis of international standard ISO/IEC 9126, six quality characteristic point of view. That is functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, portability, and maintainability.
