چکیده

This three year study used a mixed method design beginning with content analysis of games envisioned by 5 and 8 graders, followed by a survey of students in the same age range reacting to video promos representing these games. Results show that the designers’ gender influences the design outcome of games and that girls expected they would find the girl games significantly more fun to play than the boy games while boys imagined the boy games would be significantly more fun to play than the girl games. Boys overwhelming picked games based entirely on fighting as their top ranked games. Girls overwhelmingly ranked those same fighting games as their least preferred. When placed in the role of game designers, girls in our study consciously designed their games with both male and female players in mind, while boys designed only for other boys. Both 8th grade boy games ideas were liberally “borrowed” from a successful commercial game. Gender is far from the only factor that influences design outcomes. There are many factors that can affect the outcome of a game design, including the context, the content, the game genre, game goals, the age of the designers and designer gender.

Gradient-Limited Affine Projection Algorithm for Double-Talk-Robust and Fast-Converging Acoustic Echo Cancellation

We propose a gradient-limited affine projection algorithm (GL-APA), which can achieve fast and double-talk-robust convergence in acoustic echo cancellation. GL-APA is derived from the M-estimationbased nonlinear cost function extended for evaluating multiple error signals dealt with in the affine projection algorithm (APA). By considering the nonlinearity of the gradient, we carefully formulate...
