Data Games: Towards Generating Content using the Real World
نویسنده
چکیده
New data is added to the Internet by the minute [10, 33]. This project aims at expanding the concept of data games, which explore the use of open data in procedural content generation. To do so, it tackles challenges in data acquisition, transformation and balancing. Data games have the potential of serving as data visualization tools for open data, while also providing new sources of inspirations for content generation.

A Rogue Dream: Automatically Generating Meaningful Content For Games
Procedural content generation is often seen simply as a means to generate ‘stuff ’, elaborating on or rearranging abstract data types that describe levels or modular pieces of gameplay. Generating content which is situated in an understanding of the real-world is a much harder task; it requires access to large amounts of knowledge, and a good technique for parsing and using that knowledge. In t...
متن کاملRobust Opponent Modeling in Real-Time Strategy Games using Bayesian Networks
Opponent modeling is a key challenge in Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games as the environment is adversarial in these games, and the player cannot predict the future actions of her opponent. Additionally, the environment is partially observable due to the fog of war. In this paper, we propose an opponent model which is robust to the observation noise existing due to the fog of war. In order to cope...

متن کاملBar chart ball, a data game
We describe Bar Chart Ball, a game where players indirectly control a ball by modifying a bar chart that the ball rests on. The bar chart displays real-world demographic data about the UK, and the player modifies the chart by selecting which aspect of the data to focus on. By making data selection a core game mechanic, in fact the only game mechanic, we advance a novel and simple way of buildin...
متن کاملSMUG: Scientific Music Generator
Music is based on the real world. Composers use their day-to-day lives as inspiration to create rhythm and lyrics. Procedural music generators are capable of creating good quality pieces, and while some already use the world as inspiration, there is still much to be explored in this. We describe a system to generate lyrics and melodies from real-world data, in particular from academic papers. T...
