Virtual Reality: Locomotion, Multi-player, and External Camera Integration
… research area is the creation process of a multi-user cooperative VR game is described in detail. This game was created using the Unity gaming engine, along with the Blender modeling tool to create the 3D models. The third area focuses on two methods to merge live webcam feeds together into …

Multi-Player Zero-Sum Markov Games with Networked Separable Interactions
We study a new class of Markov games, (multi-player) zero-sum Markov Games with Networked separable interactions (zero-sum NMGs), to model the local interaction structure in non-cooperative multi-agent sequential decision-making. We define a zero-sum NMG as a model where the payoffs of the …

THE INFLUENCE OF GAME DESIGN ON THE COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING PROCESS: A CROSS-CASE STUDY OF MULTI-PLAYER COLLABORATIVE GAMEPLAY ANALYSIS
… problem solving process in the context of multi-player video games. The following game design attributes: sensory stimuli elements, level of challenge, and presentation of game goals and rules were examined to determine their influence on game player's collaboration and joint problem …

Decentralized multi-user multi-armed bandits with user dependent reward distributions
… spectrum access problem is studied using a multi-player multi-armed bandits framework. We consider a decentralized multi-player stochastic multi-armed bandit model where the players cannot communicate with each other and can observe only their own actions and rewards. Furthermore, the …

Parallel repetition of multi-party and quantum games via anchoring and fortification
… for amplifying the hardness inherent in multiplayer games. Through the efforts of many researchers in the past two decades (e.g. Feige, Kilian, Raz, Holentstein, Rao, Braverman, etc.), parallel repetition of two-player classical games has become relatively well-understood. On the other …

Applying machine learning techniques to an imperfect information game
… asymmetric information game. In such games, a player can improve his performance by inferring the private information held by the other players from their prior actions. A novel connectionist structure was designed to play a version of poker (multi-player limit Hold‟em). This allows simple …

The complexity of Nash equilibria in multiplayer zero-sum games and coordination games
… minmax theorem to the class of separable multiplayer zero-sum games, introduced in [Bregman and Fokin 1998]. These games are polymatrix-that is, graphical games in which every edge is a two-player game between its endpoints-in which every outcome has zero total sum of players' payoffs. Our …

SPIRE : systems for plan recovery in intelligent environments
… recovery in intelligent spaces called a desktop multi-player virtual simulation game. In Charles River City, students work in teams to SPRIE. SPRIE is an automated system that uses a two-stage process for recovery from plan execution failures. In the first stage, the failure is diagnosed using …

Charles River City : an educational augmented reality simulation pocket PC game
… on a previous work called River City, a desktop multi-player virtual simulation game. In Charles River City, students work in teams to investigate the cause of several illnesses in a virtual town. Through interviewing virtual characters, gathering water samples, and analyzing collected data, …

A Location in Parts
… Global South, they are also acutely relevant to multiple Local Souths. This thesis updates the discourse on gig labor by examining the subject through the lens of myth, the non-human, multi-player gaming, myth and storytelling. Through applying an artistic methodology that both implicates and …

Extending the limits of Weatherlings: a ubiquitous, educational, multiplayer, web-based game for mobile and desktop platforms
… that aims to create ubiquitous, educational, multi-player games. Built under UbiqGames framework, Weatherlings is a web-based educational game, which allows players to collaborate in a networked virtual world, using a browser-enabled computer or handheld device. Weatherlings overcomes two of …

An analysis of design thinking in applied game design.
… knowledge, development team, co-designers, and players. From this complex web of interaction, the designer is still expected to invent a new game. From a design investigation perspective, there is an opportunity to expand our general knowledge of game design by exploring first-hand the design …

Super-quantum and quantum enhancements of two-sender channels
… from classical strategies; and, lastly, a multiple-access channel that strictly separates super-quantum- assisted strategies from classical ones. At the heart of some of these examples is a novel connection between multi-sender channels and multi-player XOR and pseudo-telepathy games.

A theory of agreements and protection

Solving general game playing puzzles using heuristics search
… than the search methods used for two- or multi-player games. General problem solving has been a topic addressed by the planning community for years. In this thesis we adapt heuristic search methods for automated planning to use in solving single-agent GGP puzzles. One of the main …

No-Regret Learning in General Games
… show that Optimistic Hedge – a common variant of multiplicative-weights-updates with recency bias – attains poly(log T) regret in multi-player general-sum games. In particular, when every player of the game uses Optimistic Hedge to iteratively update her strategy in response to the history of play …

Modeling player self-representation in multiplayer online games using social network data
Game players express values related to self-expression through various means such as avatar customization, gameplay style, and interactions with other players. Multiplayer online games are now often integrated with social networks that provide social contexts in which player-to-player interactions …
