본 논문에서는 가상현실 기반의 게임과 사용자(Player)간의 상호작용이 가능한 게임 컨텐츠 개발 방법을 설명한다. 사용자는 실시간으로 본인의 움직임에 의해 변화하는 오브젝트들을 통해 게임과 소통(Communication)하고, 이를 통해 몰입감을 느낀다. 사용자와 컨텐츠의 소통이 곧 게임 내 재미의 핵심인 만큼 최근에는 이동 방식에서부터 차츰 변화가 일어나고 있다. 또한, 단순히 물건을 집거나 쏘거나 던지는 것이 고작이었던 과거의 콘텐츠(Contents)와 달리 사고(Thinking)와 문제해결을 유도하는 콘텐츠가 차츰 늘어나면서 사용자들의 만족감이 높아지고 있다. 이를 바탕으로 게임엔진인 Unreal Engine4를 이용하여 VR 어드벤처 퍼즐 게임을 제작했다.

This Study analyzes dynamic of a puzzle game play by applying entropy law. Entropy is a concept that a quantitative measure of the amount of thermal energy not available to do work in a closed system. And amount of entropy can be measured only if we see the closed system as whole, the field. Puzzle game is also closed system. When player moves an object in game, it change a relationship among objects in play field. In , through an act of position change, player sustains a play field active. In respect of an entropy, this kind of play is considered as pursue of usability of the energy. In , player piles up objects without empty space. In respect of an entropy, this kind of play is considered as pursue of the order. Likewise, puzzle game play can be considered as simulation of a human's pursue of the order in an entropy increasing physical world. And this pursue is a driving force of puzzle game play.

Mobile games have taken 80% of the market sales in smart device application industry that is highly regarded as one of the fast growing pool of cultural content after the distribution of smart devices. One of the most successful mobile games after the smart device's appearance is . created by Gung-ho Online entertainment under Softbank Japan, has gained the sales revenue of one trillion dollars after its release in 2012, just after one year of its exposure to the market. The game also has been the top rank by Worldwide Mobile Game Revenues for 2years achieving 40 million downloads worldwide in 2015. However, there is no place for a Korean game in world mobile game sales ranks yet. Even though the mobile game industry has been expanding every year, Korean games are losing its places in the market. Therefore, the analysis of a successful game such as is vital for diagnosing Korea's game content and its lack of direction. This study utilizes K. Masanao's Matrix for Creating Profit System for analyzing 's factors for its success. First, the game has incorporated puzzle and RPG contents for creating a new genre, which led various age groups to play the game. Second, the developers have applied 'limited time' in-game festivals and collaborations between the game and famous contents such as God Festival and Character Draw system to increase the profit revenue. Third, the company communicated with on and off line players to seek their needs for developing the game's better development. Consequently, the three success factors of deduced from this study not only reflect the related researches and academic values, but also contribute for the search in finding better ways to developing game contents for Korean mobile game industry.

As coding education is ubiquitous in elementary or higher school curriculum, puzzle-based coding platforms such as Scratch or Entry have been popularly deployed and employed by many Korean coding educational institutions. In this article, we propose a quantitative students' coding assessment methodology and discuss several issues of the method. Besides, we show its usefulness through case studies shown in our proprietary coding platform called "CodingPuzzle" system. Additionally, we describe detailed design and implementation issues of our coding assessment system that has already been ported to the CodingPuzzle system and is currently under operation.

We present a reinforcement learning-based framework for generating 2D Lego puzzle from input pixel art images. We devise heuristics for a proper Lego puzzle as stability and efficiency. We also design a DQN structure and train it to maximize the heuristics of 2D Lego puzzle. In legorization stage, we complete the layout of Lego puzzle by adding a Lego brick to the input image using the trained DQN. During this process, we devise a region of interest to reduce the computational loads of the legorization. Using this approach, our framework can present a very high resolutional Lego puzzle.

It is necessary for young children to integrate the sense of sight, hearing, touch, etc. for developing their emotion and cognition. Thanks to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development, young children have more opportunities to use various senses in learning process. However, ICT learning method is more focusing on the sense of sight and hearing, and lacks of integrated recognition and this fact leads to the reason why ICT can not be used as a main education tool. Therefore, this study evaluated the influence of wUbi-Pen(haptic device) on cognition using a computer puzzle program. The results show that young children using a haptic pen have greater intention and performance in object assembly, mazes, picture completion in K-WPPSI test than those of non-using haptic pen. This implies that haptic function should be considered in ICT material and indeed useful in various cognition-related symptoms and diseases.
