Game industry demands for talented workers from game scenario writing, graphic design and computer game programming areas, which are the three heterogeneous parts of computer game making. This paper deals with the analysis on the college convergence education, surveying the curriculums of game departments in Korean universities and with how to proceed for game programmers to the direction of convergence education for computer game making. Most of the game departments are focusing on game programming area, whereas only 2 departments among 14 surveyed are teaching the game graphic design topics. Observing the curriculum changes for sampled game departments reveals that around 30% of the majoring classes are directly game related. Game programmers are to be advised to fulfill their programming skill first and later expand their ability to game graphic design skill.

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.

The game industry, which is based on high technology, requires specialized personnel. In particular, game graphic design, which occupies the visual area of games, is a fusion of technology and design. In this study, we classify and analyze the curriculum status of US and Korean game - related universities, which is the world 's top game industry. US universities ranked 10 universities in the ranking through official evaluation agencies, and Korea compared 10 universities with relatively well-publicized educational courses through the official homepage. In this analysis, it is necessary to study the curriculum that can complement the creativity and flexibility of game graphic design course by preparing creative subjects for securing professors who have experience in field work and developing various game graphic designs.

Game environment, game map and background graphic design is very important elements and factors that support fun, look & feel, immersion and player's acting fields. In this paper we defined elements of game background environment. And then make an investigation and refer to sundry records and books, we described elements of periodic environments, historic environments, natural environments, artificial environments, cultural environments, virtual environments, weather environments. Especially, the study suggests the model of game environment desgin to apply game map and game background graphic design.

This paper describes the development of a racing game with three-dimensional computer graphics as one of web-based game contents. Client user using web can access and run java applet program with download of Java Bytecode with the independence of hardware system. It consists of graphic user interface module, initial space generation module, event handler module, and thread control module. It uses 2-D linked list data structure for the 3-D graphic objects that are located in three-dimensional space for high-speed object searching and sorting. It enhances the dynamic object moving and viewing in three-dimensional space. We can use the developed racing game to inform game users of information for an advertisement like tourism information, and can apply the proposed 3-D drawing technology to 3-D game graphic engine core.

Today due to the development of technology, 3D graphics have become an essential element of the game graphic. When game companies create a game using 3D graphics, game users can enjoy a better game graphics like photo-realistic live action than 2D game graphics. And because the game companies have many advantages in creating games which are easy to deal with many basic effects and special effects, in video game business field, 3D game have become the mainstream. This paper will inquire the characteristics of 2D spline which is basic to various kinds of 3D modeling necessary to making 3D game graphics, compare and analyze the merits and demerits of each kind of spline and find out its development history.

Recently graphic hardwares have been developed remarkably, and domestic and foreign game users have demanded realistic and spectacular game graphics. Graphic special effects are one of methods to satisfy these requests, but we have not known any cases where graphic special effects are general and thus reusable. Based on the implementation of our graphic special effect engine and its application cases, this paper describes how to easily exploit graphic special effects in developing games. We define a standard file format in which special effect data can be saved and loaded, and thus those data can be reused easily. We also show that developers can test or preview special effects by exploiting our graphic special effect tool even before producing games.

The objective of he study is to record the real conditions along with the soccer ball that is, each player's ball keeping time, the number football keeping, accuracy of passing to other player, direction, etc., on a real-time basis, measure them in numbers and get necessary analyzed output as much as one needs. The study consists of the following stages: (1) Record the data by drawing through Visual Interface on a real-time basis; (2) Graphic windows to display the recorded data item by item in graphic; (3) Form windows to display the individual or team scores anytime when needed; (4) Windows to display the analyzed data in visualized form. The effect of the study is threefold: (1) It inputs all the game-related data on a real-time basis, which was impossible before and shows analyzed contents during the game enabling each tea manager o use; (2) In cse of TV broadcasting or newspaper articles, it explains objectively the situations of he game to the TV viewers or readers; (3) After the game, it provides importance information on each team's playing ability and individual player's technical improvement through data analysis.

This study suggests efficient production of game with spine tool that is 2D game tool. For this, the researcher studies process and efficiency of game development by focusing on production of a game "Shooting Monster" Version 1 in service of Google Store at present. Production tools in a contents field are sharply changed. In addition, these tools are automatized into new version and efficient product. These tools help manufacturers in increasing quality of contents and time efficiency. Therefore, the researcher examines understanding of development process of existing 2D game and problems in development stage of graphic character, and analyzes production stage of character animation using spine tool, so suggests effective process of production in terms of production. The purpose of this study is to suggest the direction about graphic efficiency of tool by accessing production process to train working-level talented people in 2D mobile game field.

The conventional 3D graphic accelerator is mainly focused on high performance in the application area of computer graphic and 3D video game How ever the existing 3D architecture is not suitable for portable devices because of its huge power. So, we analyze the embedded 3D graphics renderer. After the analyzing, to reduce the power, triangle set-up stage and edge walking stage are executed sequentially while scan-line processing stage and span processing stage which control performance of 3D graphic accelerator are executed parallel.
