Title: unity: a general platform for intelligent agents.

Abstract: Recent advances in artificial intelligence have been driven by the presence of increasingly realistic and complex simulated environments. However, many of the existing environments provide either unrealistic visuals, inaccurate physics, low task complexity, restricted agent perspective, or a limited capacity for interaction among artificial agents. Furthermore, many platforms lack the ability to flexibly configure the simulation, making the simulated environment a black-box from the perspective of the learning system. In this work, we propose a novel taxonomy of existing simulation platforms and discuss the highest level class of general platforms which enable the development of learning environments that are rich in visual, physical, task, and social complexity. We argue that modern game engines are uniquely suited to act as general platforms and as a case study examine the Unity engine and open source Unity ML-Agents Toolkit. We then survey the research enabled by Unity and the Unity ML-Agents Toolkit, discussing the kinds of research a flexible, interactive and easily configurable general platform can facilitate.

Unity is a popular game development platform. Various industries are inspired by it and this can be a positive impact on the learning motivation, career growth and job opportunities. The aim of this paper is to develop and implement a 3D game application for education promoting through innovation and digital skills. The game consists of two parts. The first part of the developed application is a maze that the player must overcome. In this labyrinth the player has to collect a certain number of specific bags that contain pieces of the needed puzzle. The second part is a puzzle that the player begins to arrange. If the puzzle is arranged correctly, then the player can read an interesting fact about what is seen on the picture. The theme given on the picture is an educational theme and it main aim is to develop the educational and mental abilities of the playersp who may also be students. The game is suitable for a wide range of potential players as it can be interesting and educational for children, teenagers and even adults.

Android SDK is used for Android Studio. If we want to develop Google Cardboard apps with 3D models in Android Studio, we need to deal with OpenGL ES, this interface provides detailed control for power users. Given the short time frame for this class, we will focus on use of the higher level Unity interface for quick development of VR apps. However, you may choose to use this in your projects. The Unity SDK can be used to develop VR apps for Android and iOS platforms1 with Unity. For the class, we will use Android. Unity is a development platform for creating multi­platform 3D and 2D games and interactive experiences. It is designed to deal with 3D models directly and easily. In this class, Unity 5 is used as the development environment. [Show full text]

Tiivistelmä Tämän opinnäytetyön aiheena oli sijaintipohjaiset mobiilipelit. Sijaintipohjaiset mobiili- pelit ovat pelien tapa yhdistää oikea maailma virtuaalisen maailman kanssa ja täten ne luovat yhdessä aivan uuden pelikokemuksen. Tämä tutkimus syventyi teknologiaan ja työkaluihin, joilla kehitetään sijaintipohjaisia pelejä. Näihin sisältyy esimerkiksi GPS ja Bluetooth. Samalla työssä myös tutustuttiin yleisesti sijaintipohjaisten pelien ominaisuuksiin. Melkein kaikki tekniset ratkaisut, jotka oli esitetty opinnäytetyössä, olivat Moomin Move peliprojektin teknisiä ratkaisuja.

  • Raptor: Sketching Games with a Tabletop Computer Raptor: Sketching Games with a Tabletop Computer J. David Smith and T. C. Nicholas Graham School of Computing Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada {smith, graham} @cs.queensu.ca ABSTRACT Game sketching is used to identify enjoyable designs for digital games without the expense of fully implementing them. We present Raptor, a novel tool for sketching games. Raptor shows how table- top interaction can effectively support the ideation phase of game design by enabling collaboration in the design and testing process. Raptor heavily relies on simple gesture-based interaction, mixed- reality interaction involving physical props and digital artifacts, Wizard-of-Oz demonstration gameplay sketching, and fluid change of roles between designer and tester. An evaluation of Raptor using seven groups of three people showed that a sketching tool based on a tabletop computer indeed supports collaborative game sketching better than a more traditional PC-based tool.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. This paper addresses localization from a game development perspective by studying the state of tool support for a localization work in general purpose game engines. Using a systematic mapping study, the most commonly used game engines and their official tool libraries are studied. The results indicate that even though localization tools exists for the game engines included in the study, the visibility, availability, and functionality differ. Localization tools that are user facing, i.e., used to create localization, are scarce while many are tool facing, i.e., used to import localization kits made outside the production pipeline. 1.
