Today, most of games permit interaction between user and game freely. Therefore it is difficult to progress the story-line of the primary stage. Especially in educational game surroundings, we have more difficulties in achieving original purpose of education. In this paper, we proposed the applied model of mini-game which was inserted into main-game in order to control interaction between user and game. On the basis of this model, we derived valuation elements by mini-game implementation types from developing the educational game in which involved mini-game. We looked around whether the educational game achieved the educational goal of first stage or not. Comparing with some excellent ones picked up by public authorities, we evaluated the educational game. As the result of evaluation, we could find that the application of mini-game had very high effectiveness in attainment of teaming goal, studying of well-balanced, and induction of learning motivation. And we found that the application also had very affirmative effect to the practical objects of primary stage in overall sphere.

본 논문은 유니티 엔진을 이용하여 쉽게 접할 수 있는 아케이드 형식의 게임에 미니게임을 추가하여 사용자들에게 게임에 대한 재미를 주기 위한 목적으로 제작되었다. 유니티 엔진을 이용하며 게임을 제작하면, 다른 엔진에 비해 저렴하면서도, 게임 개발시간을 단축하여 개발 비용을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 게임의 질도 떨어지지 않고 게임으로 제작할 수 있다. 현재 시중에 선보이고 있는 게임들은 잔인함과 선정적인 것이 많은 편이나, 본 게임은 어린이부터 노약자들 까지 다양한 연령층이 즐길 수 있도록 제작하였다.

In this paper, we will introduce some method about retrieving suitable images to game or adjusting game difficulty in enjoying some contents like mini-game. It will use the technology about extracting color and texture features in content-based image retrieval in image processing. So in card game, it select card image automatically. And by controlling seed image number, we can adjusting game difficulty. Through the experiment, it shows that our image retrieval method can retrieve more useful images that can be used in game than others.

Recent stealth games are mainly action games with frontal confrontation or combat features. In this paper, we designed and implemented an stealth game, where characters are weak person and play is conducted by avoiding the situation, not by frontal confrontation. We chose the light as the key factor for the avoidance. The players can survive and fulfill the missions by blocking the enemy's vision. After implementing the first version, we found that the game using only the avoidance is not as fun as expected. To make the game more interesting, we added limited attack function, provided mini map for better user interface, and this paper describes the options we had and experiences of the decision making process to make the better game.

This paper proposes the adaptive way that intended screen applies the same proportion of the game screen to mobile devices having various resolution. Generally speaking, clipping is the way to show only part of screen with designated proportion and is widely used in game industry. It costs additionally because developers make game screens fit various resolutions. However, the proposed method of this study saves developing time and cost if automatically calculated output is possible according to designated screen proportion and devices' aspect ratio. This suggested algorithm makes it possible to display game screen in same proportion automatically to various resolution and the mini-map is automatically fixed regardless of the mobile devices' resolution.

In this paper, we design and implement a mobile game based on Kinect sensor. This game is a motion recognition maze game based on Kinect sensor using XNA Game Studio. The game consists of three stages. Each maze has different size and clear time limit. A player can move to the next stage only if the player finds the exit within a limited time. However, if the exit is not found within the time limit, the game ends. In addition, two kinds of mini games are included in the game. The first game is a fruit catch game using motion recognition tracking of the Kinect sensor, and player have to pick up a certain number of randomly falling fruits. If a player acquire a certain number of fruits at this time, the movement speed of the player is increased. However, if a player takes a skeleton that appears randomly, the movement speed will decrease. The second game is a Quiz game using the speech recognition function of the Kinect sensor, and a question from random genres of common sense, nonsense, ancient creature, capital, constellation, etc. are issued. If a player correctly answers more than 7 of 10 questions, the player gets useful items to use in finding the maze. This item is a navigator fairy that helps the player to escape the forest.

In this paper we present the multi-agent robot system developed for participating in micro robot soccer tournament. The multi-agent robot system consists of micro robot, a vision system, a host computer and a communication module. Mcro robot are equipped with two mini DC motors with encoders and gearboxes, a R/F receiver, a CPU and infrared sensors for obstacle detection. A vision system is used to recognize the position of the ball and opponent robots, position and orientation of our robots. The vision system is composed of a color CCD camera and a vision processing unit. Host computer is a Pentium PC, and it receives information from the vision system, generates commands for each robot using a robot management algorithm and transmits commands to the robots by the R/F communication module. And in order to achieve a given mission in micro robot soccer game, cooperative behaviors by robots are essential. Cooperative work between individual agents is achieved by the command of host computer.

게임의 스토리텔링 관점에서 보면 사용자가 스토리 라인을 따라 게임을 진행하면 그 게임의 목표를 달성하는데 효과적이지만 오늘날 대부분의 게임들이 사용자의 상호작용을 높게 허용하므로 초기 기획되었던 대로 스토리라인을 따라 진행되기가 어려운 경우가 많다. 이런 게임 환경에서 특별히 교육용 게임은 초기에 의도하였던 학습 목표를 달성하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 논문은 교육용 게임에 미니게임을 삽입한 경우의 스토리텔링 구조를 살펴보고 아동용 게임 속에 포함된 미니게임이 학습 목표 달성에 어떤 역할을 하는지 사례를 통해 분석하였다. 또한 효과적인 학습목표 달성을 위해 미니게임의 활용 방안을 제안하였다.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to select a cognitive training game that can evaluate five cognitive domains and to study their validity with existing cognitive evaluation tools. Design: Methods: Delphi survey was conducted through the 2nd questionnaire for 30 experts to select games suitable for training 5 cognitive domains. Five cognitive training games and Mini Mental State Examination - Korea(MMSE-K), and cognitive impairment screening test(CIST) were conducted for 82 elderly in the community. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to find out the correlation of the three tests. The ROC curve was used to calculate the selection criteria for the game results for the screening evaluation of the presence or absence of mild cognitive impairment. Results: The coefficient of variation to evaluate the stability of the Delphi survey was less than 0.50 in most game items. The 'correct answers' and 'level' of the five final selected game items showed a statistically significant positive correlation with the CIST and MMSE-K scores. CIST score and 'time' of all game items except 'number making_time' showed a statistically significant negative correlation. Conclusions: The validity of the cognitive training program using smart devices was evaluated, and the criteria for classifying the cognitive domain and distinguishing the presence or absence of cognitive impairment were confirmed.

We have developed a serious game for the elderly named 'Paldokangsan 2' in 2012 as a next version of 'Paldokangsan 1'. 'Paldokangsan 1' was a walking game for two people using controllers of armrests and footboards with PC. 'Paldokangsan 2' had additional purpose to assist cognitive, physical, and psychological functions of the elderly. Especially, walking activity was implemented in a way that a player walks around the old traditional market place in 1970's while remembering and choosing healthy food to buy. We also developed two mini games for the elderly and people with functional disability with the similar purpose as 'Paldokangsan2'. 219 older adults (age$$\geq_-$$ 65) recruited from Asan city community center participated in the study. The result showed that the game play exerted positive effects on memory, concentration and vitality of the elderly.
