2018년에 수립된 제4차 영재교육진흥계획에서는 영재교육원의 역할을 특수 분야 재능계발을 위한 심화 및 사사(Research & Education, 이하 R&E) 과정 운영으로 정립하였다. 영재교육원이 영재교육을 성공적으로 수 행하기 위해서는 적절한 수준의 R&E 교육프로그램을 제공할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 정보과학 영재 들의 창의적 사고력과 문제해결능력을 향상시키기 위해 컴퓨터 게임을 직접 개발하는 R&E 교육프로그램을 제안한다. 컴퓨터 게임은 화면에 그래픽을 출력하는 기술, 캐릭터와 배경을 움직이는 애니메이션 기술, 캐릭 터 간의 충돌 감지 기술, 사운드 출력, 동영상 출력, 사용자가 편리한 인터페이스 기술 등의 다양한 요소를 포함한 분야이다. 따라서 컴퓨터 게임을 직접 개발해 봄으로써 다양한 게임 요소들을 배우고 정보과학적 개 념과 자료구조 등을 활용하여 알고리즘을 익힐 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 Python과 PyGame을 이용하여 켈러 의 ARCS 모델에 기반한 교육용 게임을 개발하는 R&E 교육프로그램을 제안하였고, 실제 영재교육원의 중학 교 정보과학반 학생들의 R&E 수업에 적용하였다. 학생들은 게임 개발 R&E 수업을 통해 실제 프로그래머들 의 프로그램 개발 과정을 체험할 수 있었고, 주어진 문제 상황들이 프로그램에 의해 어떻게 표현되고 해결되 는지를 탐구하였다. 또한, 학생들이 그동안 게임의 수요자로서 단순히 게임을 즐기기만 했다면, 본 R&E 수업 을 통해 게임의 공급자로써 사용자의 흥미와 동기를 증가시킬 수 있는 방법을 스스로 고안하고 도입할 수 있는 기회를 얻게 되었다.

The 4th Gifted Education Promotion Plan, in 2018, established the role of the Gifted Education Center as a Research & Education (R&E) course for talent development in special fields. To be successful in gifted education, gifted education centers must be able to provide appropriate levels of R&E education programs. In this paper, we propose an R&E education program that develops computer games to improve the creative thinking and problem solving ability of informatics gifted students. Computer games are a field that includes various elements such as the technology of outputting graphics on the screen, the animation technology of moving characters and backgrounds, the collision detection technology between characters, the sound output technology, the video output technology, and the user-friendly interface technology. Therefore, by developing computer games, students can learn various game elements and learn algorithms using informatics concepts and data structures. In this paper, we proposed an R&E education program for developing educational games based on Keller's ARCS model using Python and PyGame, and applied it to the R&E class of middle school informatics class students. Through the game development R&E class, students could experience the program development process of real programmers and explore how given problem situations are represented and solved by the program. In addition, while the students have simply enjoyed playing games as consumers of games, this R & E class gives them the opportunity to devise and include their own ways to increase the interest and motivation of users as suppliers of games.

This paper aims to propose the educational concept and design model of a Smart Board Game appropriate for lower elementary grade students. The Smart Board Game refers to a hybrid, or 'convergent', game format based on the offline format of the conventional board game augmented through the use of smart devices. The substantive aspects of this game format utilize the procedural deduction and problem-solving skills applicable in storytelling methodologies and games, in order to generate and propose contents ideal for the educational environment. The development of the Smart Board Game is conducted through the following stages. First, the study analyzes a number of Smart Board Games currently popular in Korea and abroad, based on identification of the key components and processes of the board game format. The subsequent review of the science curriculum for lower elementary grades aims to determine the aspects conducive for application to Smart Board Games. Lastly, the theoretical framework outlined through the previous stages is used as the basis for the proposal of a detailed model of contents for the smart board game concept.

This research tackles a major challenge faced by indie game developers: the high financial and technical barriers to producing quality graphics and animations, primarily due to dependence on expensive commercial software like 3D Max or Cinema 4D. Blender 3D, a free and open-source platform, offers a promising solution to these challenges. However, there is a lack of scholarly research on how effectively Blender 3D can address these issues and improve creative and technical workflows in indie game development. This study aims to fill that gap by analyzing real-world case studies and practical applications of Blender 3D, evaluating its impact on the creative processes and technical efficiency of indie game studios. Additionally, the research investigates the integration and interoperability of Blender 3D with popular game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine, specifically examining how this integration streamlines the development pipeline from concept to final product, ultimately helping to level the competitive playing field in the ever-evolving indie gaming industry.

This study defined the pre-elderly as middle age people from 50 to 59. Because it is difficult to produce a design to satisfy the pre-elderly without deeply understanding them, their financial and physical characteristics and persona-based scenario method was studied. An experimental study about persona based scenario method was conducted, and as a result, the types of personas found were as follows: 1) Users enjoy the same games online and offline. 2) Users enjoy playing alone on the computer. 3) Users prefer games that end quickly with win or loss. Writing the situation scenario for each type, the pre-elderly's problems and needs occurring while they play web board games were obtained. The obtained user requests were as follows: users would like the level of difficulty to be simpler in the game of baduk; users wanted unlimited credit and refrainment from using English words in go-Stop; and there were simple comments about game screen design.

본 논문의 목적은 생성형 AI 기술의 급속한 발달로 인해 변화하는 게임산업의 생태계를 살펴 보고 이에 따른 대응방안을 모색하는 데 있다. 2022년 11월 OpenAI가 ChatGPT를 대중에게 공개한 이후, 생성형 AI를 가장 직접적으로 활용 및 투자하고 있는 분야는 게임콘텐츠 산업이 다. 생성형 AI의 활용은 단순반복적인 작업의 효율화를 통해 게임 개발의 간소화와 예산 절감 을 가능케 한다. 여기에 플레이어의 반응에 실시간 반응하며 소통하는 콘텐츠 자동 생성을 통 해 사용자 경험을 극대화한다. 실제 게임 개발 현장에서도 게임 레벨, 맵, 퀘스트, 지능형 NPC, QA 자동화 등 게임 제작과 운영의 전 분야에서 생성형 AI 도구가 활용되고 있다. 신기 술에 민감하며 노동집약적인 게임의 산업적 특성 때문에 생성형 AI가 게임산업의 미래를 바꿀 것이라는 전망과 함께, 저작권 이슈와 대량 해고 등 우려 또한 제기되고 있다. 이에 대응하기 위해 게임업계는 생성형 AI가 가져올 불가피한 변화를 적극적으로 받아들이고, 이분법적 ‘대체 론’을 넘어 인간의 창의력과 AI 기술의 장점을 결합할 수 있는 새로운 협업 지성과 창작물에 대한 법적, 윤리적 가이드라인을 모색해야 한다.

This paper aims to examine the evolving ecosystem of the gaming industry due to the rapid development of generative AI (artificial Intelligence) technology and to explore strategies for responding to these changes. Since OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022, the game content industry has become one of the primary adopters and investors in generative AI. This technology can streamline game development and reduce budgets by automating highly repetitive tasks, and it can also enhance the player experience by generating content that reacts and interacts with players in real time. In practice, generative AI tools are being integrated into all aspects of game creation and operations including game levels, maps, quests, intelligent NPCs, and QA (Quality Assurance) automation. Given the technology-sensitive and labor-intensive nature of the industry, generative AI is poised to significantly transform the future of game development. However, this transformation also raises concerns about copyright issues and potential mass layoffs. Therefore, the industry needs to embrace the inevitable changes brought by generative AI and move beyond the dichotomous ‘replacement theory.’ It needs to establish new legal and ethical guidelines and promote collaborative intelligence that can can combine the strengths of human creativity and AI technology to deliver a new player experience in gaming.

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly enhanced virtual reality (VR) content. However, existing integrations of VR and AI technologies have largely focused on the isolated applications of each technology, limiting the potential for creating content that meets the original purposes of AI technologies. This paper proposes a fairy tale VR game that integrates AI technologies to provide personalized and immersive user experiences. Key innovations include the implementation of interactive non-playable characters using OpenAI's ChatGPT, dynamic storytelling based on user choices, and realistic hand gesture recognition through the Meta Quest 2 controller. Additionally the game employs advanced AI systems such as GPT-4 and DALL-E to generate customized sentences and images, enriching the interactivity and educational value of VR environments. Our study makes a significant contribution to the literature by bridging the gap between traditional VR games and AI-driven interactivity, demonstrating how AI technologies can transform user engagement and immersion.

몰입감은 게임을 플레이 하는데 중요한 요소이며 궁극적으로 게임 자체의 성공을 좌우하는 재 미 그 자체아 결부되기도 한다. 시각적 영역과 밀접한 연관이 있는 해상도는 게임 개발에 있어서 비중있는 요소이며 게임을 개발할 때 염두에 두어야 할 요소이기도 하다. 그래픽 기술의 발전은 하드웨어 발전과 함께해 왔으며, 대부분의 게임은 현재 고해상도의 고품질 그래픽으로 개발되고 있다. 현재 다양한 사용자들의 다양한 해상도 정보 분석 및 시장 조사는 게임 개발자들에게 효과 적인 정보를 제공해 줄 것이며 연구 가치가 있다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 지난 4년 간 네이버 소프트웨어 문서분야에서 가장 많은 다운로드 수를 기록하고 있는 문서 뷰어인 'DAVU'의 사용자 정보를 통해 한국인 IT사용자들의 평균 해상도를 분석한다. 'DAVU'는 국내 통합 뷰어 솔루션으로 2014년 국내 문서 및 이미지 뷰어 솔루션을 통해 서비스를 시작했으며 사용자가 뷰어를 실행할 때 개인정보를 제외한 사용자 정보(해상도, 파일 포맷, OS, IE정보 등)를 서버로 전송하여 집계가 가능하다. 이 연구는게임 및 소프트웨어뿐만 아니라 모니터 하드웨어 산업에도 효율적 정보를 제공해 주는 연구가 될 것이다.

Immersion is a very important factor in playing games, and ultimately it is linked to fun, which in turn affects the success of the game itself. The resolution, which is a visual area in this immersion, is a very important factor, and it is also a factor that must be kept in mind when developing a game. The development of graphics technology has been accompanied by the development of hardware, and most games are now being developed with high-resolution, high-quality graphics. Currently, analysis and market research on how various users contact content at various resolutions will provide effective information to game developers and they are worth researching. This study analyzes the resolution of Korean average users through the user information of 'DAVU' which is the number one document viewer in Naver Software Data Room for the last 3 years. ‘DAVU’is a domestic integrated viewer solution, launched its service in 2014 with a domestic document and image viewer solution. When the user runs the viewer user without environment information (resolution, file format, OS, IE information, etc.) , it is transmitted to server and aggregated. It has been ranked No. 1 in the Naver Software Viewer category for more than two years, with 16 million total users. The analysis of computer users' resolution will be an effective study not only for games and software but also for the monitor hardware industry.

The history of trying to interact between the speaker and the listener in performing arts began from B.C. Through simple questions and answers, it induced viewers to participate, caused them to focus on the story, and induced a natural flow of conversation. But with the development of film invention and video technology, the interaction between producers and viewers has become less active, less passive or less interactive. If games and movies are combined with many elements of interaction, it can be a new attempt, and there is a high possibility that this interest and exposure will soon be linked to the formation of a new game genre. It can also increase the user's immersion and generate interest to meet their commitment to re-watch. To this end, this study explores ways to solve and improve the problems of existing interactive movies through case studies and effectiveness analysis of attempts to fuse games and movies, including existing interactive movies.

Stress can provoke various symptoms in human. It can affect our thoughts, emotion, and behavior. In general, it is necessary but dangerous if we do not control the level. This study tried to develop a game to measure stress level of game-player and verify whether the score measured by the game correlates with stress level measured by self-reported surveys. A simple prototype of game to measure player’s stress level was developed based on Odd-one out experimental paradigm that allow to measure attentional engagement and disengagement in stress people. 50 students and 50 office-workers played the game to measure stress level and the data was analyzed with correlation analysis between stress score measured by the game and that measured by surveys (type-D and perceived stress scale). The results showed that there is significant correlation between two stress scores measured by computer game and the perceived stress scale but no correlation between the stress score measured by computer game and that measured by type-D. This indicate that the game developed based on attentional movement can measure in general stress level related to current concerns but not long-term temperature related to stress. Some limits and precautions of stress measurement with computer game such as reaction time or statistical assumption were discussed.

성인보다 주의 집중력이 낮은 아동의 인지력을 측정하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 기능성 게임 은 아동의 동기와 주의집중을 높이는 효과적인 방법으로 아동의 인지력 측정을 위한 좋은 대안 이 될 수 있다. 본 연구는 주의력 측정을 위해 사용되는 TMT(Trail Making Test)를 기능성 게임으 로 제작하여 아동의 주의력을 측정하고 그 결과를 검증하고자 하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 기능성 게임으로 제작된 TMT는 주의 속도와 선택적 주의를 측정하는 유형A와 주의 전환을 측정하는 유 형B로 설계되었으며, 검사결과를 아동의 학업성취도와 연결하여 검사의 타당도를 검증하고자 하 였다. 284명의 아동을 기능성 게임을 통해 주의력을 검사한 결과, 유형A의 반응속도(Reaction Time) 그리고 유형B의 정오율과 학업성취도간 상관이 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 본 기능성 게임이 주의력의 여러 목표한 측정 요소를 잘 반영하고 있음을 시사한다. 기존의 단순한 결과만을 산출 하는 지필검사와는 다르게 본 기능성게임은 주의와 관련된 여러 가지 행동 데이터를 제공해주고, 재미와 집중을 높여 아동에게 보다 긍정적이고 생태학적인 측면이 강화된 인지측정 도구를 제공 해 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The present study investigated the validity of a serious game named ‘Draw Ttoring’ developed for accessment of children’s attention and tried to provide the basic information about it. To this goal, we tested it to 284 elementary school students in measuring various behavior data(reaction time, total playing time, correct rate, discrepancy between type of TMT). Futhermore, the behavior data was compared with academic achievement to see the external validity. In results, ‘Draw Ttoring’ showed various behavior data and correlation with academic achievement. In Type A of TMT, total time and reaction time had a correlation with academic achievement, while, in Type B of TMT, total time and correct rate did. Mental flexibility calculated by the discrepancy between Type A and Type B showed also the positive correlation with academic achievement. These results showed that the serious game named ‘Draw Ttoring’ can provide more various information about children attention and these can’t be observed by traditional paper pencil test. Finally, serious game can provide an good alternative method to access children’s cognition.

In this paper, we propose a C language-based coding educational game for beginners. The proposed coding educational game has the following characteristics. First, the proposed coding educational game is designed on the C language, in order to lead a learner to be able to develop a complex system later. The game consists of 6 stages representing the basis of C language: variables and constants, basic data types and operators, conditional statements, loop statements, functions, and arrays. Second, the proposed coding educational game kindly provides descriptions and hints, so that the learner can play the game without knowledge about C language. Experimental results, show that the learner clears the stage by 85.4% in the PC environment, after the learner tries to submit 5.7 times on average per stage, because the learner can resubmit the code when the submitted code is wrong. Third, the proposed coding educational game was designed as the Web-based game for the learners in various environments. Describing how the learners interact differently in PC environment and mobile environment, experimental results show that the learner feels more comfortable to use PC version than mobile version.

This Study developed a VR functional game that allows players to experience the life of a stray dog and analyzed the effects of this experience on improving awareness and perception of stray dogs. The game was designed to enhance realism by providing a first-person perspective as a stray dog and simulating various situations that stray dogs typically encounter. A pre- and post-survey was conducted with 20 adult participants to measure changes in perception. The results showed that after experiencing the game, participants demonstrated increased understanding of the realities faced by stray dogs, improved perceptions, greater interest in the issue, and a higher willingness to adopt stray dogs. These findings indicate that the design elements of the VR functional game—such as perspective, realism, and immersion— contribute positively to fostering empathy and improving perceptions toward stray dogs.
