Design of Networked Multiplayer Snake and Ladder Educational Game Based on Hash Map and Vector Data Structure

Computer games have been used as educational media or popularly named as educational games. However, most educational computer games that have been created can be played by one player. This study aims to build a multiplayer ladder and snake educational game focused on the server program as a moderator that handles players, player groups, and data traffic during the game is running. The game is built on Java socket programming and local area network (LAN) as a data communication medium between players. Whereas to handle the username and socket address of the whole player, the hash map data structure is used. A vector data structure is also used to manage data package sending for each player group. The experiment shows that the system works properly where the computer server’s performance is influenced by the specifications, especially the processor and random-access memory (RAM).

Treatment and compliance with virtual reality and anaglyph‐based training programs for convergence insufficiency

BackgroundConvergence insufficiency may be treated by visual exercises designed to increase convergence while maintaining single, clear, binocular vision. However, compliance with treatment is problematic, as patients often cease treatment when symptoms start to improve and before treatment is complete. The purpose of the present study was to assess the feasibility of using gamification of vision training to: (a) treat convergence insufficiency; and (b) improve compliance to treatment in comparison to a conventional treatment over a six‐week treatment period.MethodsTwo interventions, anaglyphs and a virtual reality game of Snakes, were evaluated for their effectiveness in treating adults with convergence insufficiency. The prescribed training regimen was 20-minutes, three times per week for six-weeks. Vision was assessed before and after the treatment period. Participants also filled in the Core Elements of the Gaming Experience Questionnaire to gauge impact of game design on compliance.ResultsEighteen participants (mean age 20.8 ± 1.8-years) met the inclusion criteria for convergence insufficiency and nine participants were randomly assigned to each intervention. Repeated measures analysis of variance showed a significant effect of visit for near point of convergence (F1,16 = 38.32, p < 0.0001), near positive fusional reserves break (F1,16 = 21.94, p < 0.0001) and recovery (F1,16 = 26.87, p < 0.0001), but not of intervention type. Total time played was significantly longer for the virtual reality Snake Game than the anaglyph intervention (p < 0.0001), which translated to mean compliance of 82-per cent and 51-per cent respectively.ConclusionGamification of vision training in a virtual reality environment is feasible and associated with increased compliance, hence may be a useful strategy to treat convergence insufficiency.

Different Learning Possibilities from the Same Activity—Swedish Preschool Teachers’ Enactment of a Number Relation Activity

ABSTRACT In this paper, differences in the implementation of a number activity called the snake game are studied. Nine Swedish preschool teachers worked in collaboration with a research team, enacting the same activity with their groups of 5-year-old children over a 3-month period. Variation theory forms the basis for the analysis of 67 videorecorded enactments. The results suggest that an activity such as the snake game can bring various aspects of numbers to the fore through differences in enactment. The activity became mathematically richer when the teacher compared children’s different finger patterns and used systematically varied examples of number relations. This study’s results contribute knowledge about characteristics of teaching that foregrounds numbers’ part-whole relations.

The perception of a robot partner’s effort elicits a sense of commitment to human-robot interaction

AbstractPrevious research has shown that the perception that one’s partner is investing effort in a joint action can generate a sense of commitment, leading participants to persist longer despite increasing boredom. The current research extends this finding to human-robot interaction. We implemented a 2-player version of the classic snake game which became increasingly boring over the course of each round, and operationalized commitment in terms of how long participants persisted before pressing a ‘finish’ button to conclude each round. Participants were informed that they would be linked via internet with their partner, a humanoid robot. Our results reveal that participants persisted longer when they perceived what they believed to be cues of their robot partner’s effortful contribution to the joint action. This provides evidence that the perception of a robot partner’s effort can elicit a sense of commitment to human-robot interaction.

The Influence Of Using Snake And Ladders Game Media Against Learning Outcomes Of Fourth Grade Elementary School

Dependence or Independence: Which Is the Dirty Word?

We are suspicious of the mob, the gang, the enmeshed relationship. We also know no one can be an island. Our heroes tend to be loners – the solo detective, those who live free under the stars – but we esteem individuals who devote themselves to others. We want to belong, but we don't want to be owned. Like a game of Snakes and Ladders, there are trap‐doors and escalators in the theme Dependence or independence: Which is the dirty word? This paper explores the frisson and the conflicts in the complex relationships between dependence and independence. Following an introductory vignette, a schematic account is presented of the diverse ways ‘dependence’ and ‘independence’ can be theoretically interpreted including by systems theory. A deeper attention is then paid to honouring the importance of ‘dependence’ and ‘independence’ as key referents in everyday subjectivity. A first‐person account of mental illness is drawn on to illustrate this theme. A final section examines the implications for family therapy practice that arise from the above analysis.

UAV Autonomous Target Search Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning in Complex Disaster Scene

In recent years, artificial intelligence has played an increasingly important role in the field of automated control of drones. After AlphaGo used Intensive Learning to defeat the World Go Championship, intensive learning gained widespread attention. However, most of the existing reinforcement learning is applied in games with only two or three moving directions. This paper proves that deep reinforcement learning can be successfully applied to an ancient puzzle game Nokia Snake after further processing. A game with four directions of movement. Through deep intensive learning and training, the Snake (or self-learning Snake) learns to find the target path autonomously, and the average score on the Snake Game exceeds the average score on human level. This kind of Snake algorithm that can find the target path autonomously has broad prospects in the industrial field, such as: UAV oil and gas field inspection, Use drones to search for and rescue injured people after a complex disaster. As we all know, post-disaster relief requires careful staffing and material dispatch. There are many factors that need to be considered in the artificial planning of disaster relief. Therefore, we want to design a drone that can search and rescue personnel and dispatch materials. Current drones are quite mature in terms of automation control, but current drones require manual control. Therefore, the Snake algorithm proposed here to be able to find the target path autonomously is an attempt and key technology in the design of autonomous search and rescue personnel and material dispatching drones.
