How do social interactions in fictional words? Here we show that network theory can be used to systematically and quantitatively analyse relationships among noble houses and how the web of alliances and conflicts changes over time in the fantasy drama TV series Game of Thrones.

A Distributed Multiplayer Game Server System

Detecting Cheaters in a Distributed Multiplayer Game

Cheating is currently a major problem in today’s multiplayer games. One of the most popular types of cheating involves having the client software render information which is not in the player’s current field of view. This type of cheating may allow a player to see their opponents through walls, or to see their opponents on a radar, or at extreme distances, when they would normally not be able t...

Asynchronous Real-time Multiplayer Game With Distributed State

Real-time multiplayer games are complex systems that often have a single point of failure and are not scalable. In this work a prototype design is created to handle node failure during game simulation. The client server paradigm is modified to construct a distributed server at each node. Propagation of gamestate is performed across nodes keeping each node up to date. Node failure is handled gra...

Game of Thrones: Accommodating Monetary Policies in a Monetary Union

In this paper we present an application of the dynamic tracking games framework to 1 a monetary union. We use a small stylized nonlinear three-country macroeconomic model of a 2 monetary union to analyse the interactions between fiscal (governments) and monetary (common 3 central bank) policy makers, assuming different objective functions of these decision makers. Using 4 the OPTGAME algorithm ...
