Recently computer games have been widely spread. For the purpose of studying brain activities, EEG was measured during the computer game and analyzed in terms of channels and frequency bands. EEG data were obtained during the resting state and game immersion. Then the power spectra of alpha, beta and theta bands were computed. During game immersion, the ratio between theta / alpha could effectively differentiate between rest and game immersion. Changes in brain activity (26~53%) were observed in the parietal and occipital lobes. Interestingly, immersion shows different features compared to concentration. The state of game immersion could be detected. Therefore, it is possible to utilize the state of immersion as one of the game parameters or to generate a control signal that may be used to provide a warning message or abort the game when the situation of the excessive indulgence in the game reaches. EEG can be applied as smart interface for computer game.

Oculus Rift is the most universal VR (virtual Reality) headset for gamers and FPS (First Person Shooting) is the most suitable game genre to play with VR. Using VR can increase the player's sense of reality and make them feel as though they are in direct contact with the enemy while battling. The suggested VR game is a first person game where the player must defend a specific target against the surging enemy all within the time limit. Many objects will need to be used in this method. Object pooling will be used in order to manage all the numerous objects. When an object is repeatedly created and deleted it typically overwhelms the memory. To resolve this issue the game initially summons the object at the beginning of the scene and afterwards only uses the object when needed, lessening the burden on the memory. A ranking system is implemented to keep the game records in order to stimulate a competitive spirit between the players, and the game has received positive response during test play among college students in their 20s.

With the continuous development of the game field, the subdivision of game types is becoming more and more precise. There are also more and more games that draw on some achievements in other fields in their game design. Among them are meta-fiction games based on metafiction. This article will explore whether the combination of a meta-fiction game and a side-scrolling game with a unique visual experience is appropriate. If the side-scrolling game is the external form of the game, then the meta-fiction game is the internal content core of the game. The degree of fit between the external form and the internal core will undoubtedly determine the lower limit and upper limit of the game quality. Based on alienation theory, this article takes several highly rated side-scrolling games on the market as examples to conduct a theoretical analysis on the compatibility of side-scrolling games and metafiction games. The analysis results suggest that compared to first-person games, side-scrolling games with a unique third-person perspective have the best compatibility with meta-games.
