Video Game Genre Affordances for Physics Education

In this work, the authors analyze the video game genres’ features and investigate potential mappings to specific didactic approaches in the context of Physics education. To guide the analysis, the authors briefly review the main didactic approaches for Physics and identify qualities that can be projected into game features. Based on the characteristics of the didactic approaches each video game...

MDA Game Design for Video Game Development by Genre

Game ́s development process remains a difficult task due to game platform’s increasing technological complexity and lack of game ́s development methodologies for unified processes. In this work we show a way to develop different types of arcade games genre using Model Driven Architecture (MDA). We present a metamodel for game design that allows the specification for a high level abstraction indep...

Genre and game studies: Toward a critical approach to video game genres

Video genre classification using dynamics

The problem addressed here is classification of videos at the highest level into pre-defined genre. The approach adopted is based on the dynamic content of short sequences ( 30 secs). This paper presents two methods of extracting motion from a video sequence: foreground object motion and background camera motion. These dynamics are extracted, processed and applied to classify 3 broad classes: s...
