چکیده
Gaming applications in ubiquitous computing environments will be in need of wireless communication facilities. In this paper, we outline advantages and drawbacks of Bluetooth. As a first step, we examine general issues of gaming applications in ubiquitous computing environments. Afterwards, we show how Bluetooth can cope with these issues. Furthermore, we describe two prototype applications: a Bluetooth-based multiplayer card game and a Bluetooth advertising pillar.

Bringing Scheme programming to the iPhone - Experience
The iPhone SDK provides a powerful platform for the development of applications that make use of iPhone capabilities such as sensors, GPS, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity. Thus far we observe that the development of iPhone applications is mostly restricted to using Objective-C. However, developing applications in plain Objective-C on the iPhone OS suffers from limitations such as the need for e...
متن کاملP2P Game Network Framework Communications and Context Framework for Building P2P Multiplayer Games
This work presents an approach to designing a software framework for developing multiplayer games: the P2P Game Network Framework, centered in network communications and interaction with the context. This general design assumes a group of devices organized in a P2P network, implying the necessity of tools for selforganization of the group and group synchronization. These tools aim to guarantee ...
متن کاملCollaborative games: Lessons learned from board games
Collaborative mechanisms are starting to become prominent in computer games, like massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs); however, by their nature, these games are difficult to investigate. Game play is often complex and the underlying mechanisms are frequently opaque. In contrast, board games are simple. Their game play is fairly constrained and their core mechanisms are transparent enough...

1 Abstract—Implementations of mobile games have become prevalent industrial technology due to the ubiquitous nature of mobile devices. However, simultaneous-movement multiplayer games – games that a player competes simultaneously with other players – are usually affected by such parameters as latency, type of game architecture and type of communication technology. This paper makes a review of t...
متن کاملDesigning multiplayer games to facilitate emergent social behaviours online
This paper discusses an exploratory case study of the design of games that facilitate spontaneous social interaction and group behaviours among distributed individuals, based largely on symbolic presence ‘state’ changes. We present the principles guiding the design of our game environment: presence as a symbolic phenomenon, the importance of good visualization and the potential for spontaneous ...
