7	Representing video game style with procedurally generated content : How wave function collapse can be used to represent style in video games Hedman, Filip, Håkansson, Martin January 2023 (has links) As the video gaming industry continues to grow, developers face increasing pressure to produce innovative content swiftly and cost-effectively. Procedural Content Generation (PCG), the use of algorithms to automate content creation, offers a solution to this problem. This paper explores the PCG algorithm wave function collapse’s (WFC) potential for replicating the stylistic design in video games. We provide an exploration of how the WFC algorithm works and discuss the methodology used to evaluate the generator’s ability to generate content that mimics a video game style. The study evaluates the algorithm’s efficacy by generating levels in the style of the iconic game Super Mario Bros, highlighting its ability to produce original content while maintaining the game’s stylistic features. Additionally, we do an examination of the research surrounding PCG and Machine Learning in Super Mario Bros, drawing comparisons with our methodology. The paper concludes with an assessment of WFC’s capabilities to replicate style with its generated content with the help of earlier established evaluation metrics. / Med den växande videospelsindustrin så möter utvecklare ett ökande tryck att producera innovativt innehåll snabbt och kostnadseffektivt. Procedural Content Generation (PCG), användningen av algoritmer för att automatisera skapandet av sådant innehåll, erbjuder en lösning på detta problem. Denna artikeln utforskar PCG-algoritmen wave function collapses (WFC) potentiella användning för att replikera design i datorspel. Vi ger en förklaring hur WFC-algoritmen fungerar och diskuterar metodiken som används för att utvärdera generatorns förmåga att generera innehåll som efterliknar ett visst datorspel stil. Studien utvärderar algoritmens effektivitet genom att generera nivåer i samma stil som i det ikoniska spelet Super Mario Bros, vilket betonar algoritmens förmåga att producera originellt innehåll samtidigt som den bevarar spelets stilistiska egenskaper. Dessutom undersöker forskningen kring PCG och maskininlärning i Super Mario Bros, och gör jämförelser med vår egna metodik. Uppsatsen avslutas med en bedömning av WFC:s förmåga att replikera stil med dess genererade innehåll med hjälp av tidigare etablerade utvärderingsmått.

8	Z Excursion : Spel-bidrag till Swedish Game Awards / Z Excursion : Game Entry for Swedish Game Awards Nylin, Tobias January 2012 (has links) This report describes my degree project. For my degree project I made a demo for a game idea that I've developed, and implemented for use with Xbox 360. The idea was about converting the feeling and gameplay of old 2D side-scrolling platform games into 3D, viewed from a first-person perspective. The Xbox 360 version of the demo was also submitted for the game competition Swedish Game Awards. In the report, I explain this idea more extensive, what software I used to implement it, and how I implemented it. Finally, at the end I clarify the results and discuss fulfilled tasks and future improvements. I'm very pleased with my progress so far and I will continue to work on this on my own until it feels like a finished product that can be distributed. / Den här rapporten beskriver mitt examensarbete. För mitt examensarbete så gjorde jag en demoversion av en spelidé som jag utvecklat, och som implementerades för användning på Xbox 360. Idén bestod av att överföra känslan och spelmekaniken från gamla tvådimensionella sidoskrollande plattformsspel till 3D, sett ur ett förstapersonsperspektiv. Demoversionen för Xbox 360 skickades också in som ett bidrag till speltävlingen Swedish Game Awards. I rapporten så förklarar jag idén mer utförligt, vad för mjukvara jag använde för att implementera den, och hur jag implementerade den. I slutet av rapporten så klargör jag resultaten och diskuterar mål som har uppfyllts samt idéer för att vidareutveckla spelet. Jag är nöjd med det jag åstadkommit hitintills och jag kommer att fortsätta arbeta på spelet själv tills det känns som en färdig produkt som kan distribueras. 3D Retro graphics game video game game development Swedish Game Awards SGA Platformer Platform Game Side Scroller First Person Platformer First Person Shooter Retro grafik retrografik spel tv-spel spelutveckling plattformsspel förstapersonsvy förstapersonsskjutare 3D Swedish Game Awards SGA Side Scroller First Person Platformer First Person Shooter st Person View FPS XNA Xbox 360 Z Excursion Software Engineering Programvaruteknik
9	Procedural Generation of Levels with Controllable Difficulty for a Platform Game Using a Genetic Algorithm / Procedurell generering av banor med kontrollerbar svårighetsgrad till ett platformspel med hjälp av en genetisk algoritm Classon, Johan, Andersson, Viktor January 2016 (has links) This thesis describes the implementation and evaluation of a genetic algorithm (GA) for procedurally generating levels with controllable difficulty for a motion-based 2D platform game. Manually creating content can be time-consuming, and it may be desirable to automate this process with an algorithm, using Procedural Content Generation (PCG). An algorithm was implemented and then refined with an iterative method by conducting user tests. The resulting algorithm is considered a success and shows that using GA's for this kind of PCG is viable. An algorithm able to control difficulty of its output was achieved, but more refinement could be made with further user tests. Using a GA for this purpose, one should find elements that affect difficulty, incorporate these in the fitness function, and test generated content to ensure that the fitness function correctly evaluates solutions with regard to the desired output.
