Lighting Effects for Mobile Games

چکیده
Adapting games to the miniature screens and limited processing power of mobile phones is quite a challenge. To accommodate these technical limitations, mobile games are often twodimensional (2D), tile-based, and seen from above. Such games rarely present much creativity with respect to dynamic lighting. Textures are merely plastered onto the tiles. A recent game release has, however, shown that effects such as dynamic light sources can spice up a mobile game of this type quite a bit. In this paper we carry the idea of dynamic lighting effects for tile-based 2D games even further. In particular, we present simple and efficient techniques for shadows and fluctuating fog which can greatly improve the gamer’s visual experience.

متن کاملShadowplay: Simulated Illumination in Game Worlds
Despite the fact that there are currently a number of enjoyable digital games in which light plays a key role, we lack a vocabulary with which to discuss simulated illumination in game worlds. An understanding of lighting practices in other media, such as 3d computer-generated animation and film, must be supplemented with an awareness of real-space disciplines such as architectural lighting if ...
متن کاملModeling Image Quality Attributes Based on Image Parameters for Mobile Displays
High image quality (IQ) on the widely used mobile displays is extremely desirable for viewing static and moving images. This study focuses on modeling the perceived IQ considering all types of images for mobile displays. Large-scale psychophysical experiments via categorical judgment method were carried out on mobile displays of different physical sizes under lighting conditions of two illumina...
