In a world where algorithms are ubiquitous, the development of computational thinking competencies is becoming progressively important among students, technology professionals, and 21st-century citizens in general. Educational games as means promoting skills have gained popularity recent years. Offering efficient educational that promote requires personalized learning paths through adaptive dif...

Mathematic has always been one of the hardest subject to be learnt during school. This is very same issue that student have facing no matter level education they are in, and this reason why Math Maze Zone or also known as MMZ had developed. a mathematical game-based learning tool for primary school students help them prepare their final examination mathematics subject. The proposed game will co...

This paper discusses the use of cooperation and distributed intelligence within a robot team to solve a maze problem in which a set of ordered control point tasks has to be performed before the robots exit the maze. At first, the maze structure and the control point locations are unknown. While the maze is explored, each robot dynamically maps the maze structure with information provided by its...

The role of locomotion in the acquisition and transfer of spatial knowledge was investigated in 144 five-, seven- and eleven-year-old children. Two experiments were conducted in the Kiel locomotor maze. In the first experiment, one group of children explored the spatial layout by walking through the maze, while another learned the maze by surveying the layout. In the second experiment, children...

The medium of computer and video games are being studied profusely in a wide array of research. Constraint databases and video games have been around for a long time, but they have never been combined together before. In this paper, we describe the A-Maze-D system, which shows that constraint databases can be applied conveniently and efficiently to the design of maze games. A-Maze-D provides a ...

Consider the problem of automatic maze navigation. Our maze in a two dimensional maze constructed on the plane R2. We have a starting point x0 ∈ R2, and a target set Γ ⊂ R2, which should be thought of as the ‘end’ of the maze. Our maze is defined by a speed function c(x) for x ∈ R2, which is the speed the robot can move at location x. Objects the robot cannot move through, i.e., walls, are mode...

We present the design and architecture of the Maze filesharing and social network. Maze is one of the first large-scale deployments of an academic research project, with over 210,000 registered users and more than 10,000 users online at any time, sharing over 140 million files. Maze includes an evolving incentive structure, and simple mechanisms for providing network locality. We outline the Ma...

OBJECTIVE Recent studies indicated that successful maze procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF) adjunct to mitral valve surgery provided a lower incidence of stroke and recurrence of AF. The purpose of this study is to review the 13-year experience of these combined procedures and to identify the risk factors and late outcomes of successful maze procedures compared to failed maze procedures. M...

This paper describes two complementary algorithms developed for mobile robots operating within unknown, maze-type environments. The first is an environmental mapping and navigation algorithm which ensures complete coverage of a maze with apriori unknown wall locations, and the second a stochastic learning automaton approach for general obstacle avoidance within the maze. The environmental mappi...
