遊戲動態劇情演算機制

A Dynamic Scenario Mechanism Applied to the Arcade Game

本研究提出以特徵區間為基礎之遊戲動態劇情演算機制。即利用提出的特徵區間辨識方法，針對遊戲玩家一連串的、有時間順序的遊戲操作資訊中，擷取特徵區間，繼而進行特徵區間辨識，辨識所得之結果會被賦予對應的娛樂操作函數，藉以作為動態改變遊戲劇情之依據，目的在於依據玩家遊戲經驗之不同，提供適合玩家經驗(熟練度)難度之遊戲內容，提升玩家遊戲的娛樂效果。當遊戲玩家進行遊戲時，本研究所提之演算機制方法透過記錄其連續遊戲操作資訊，對記錄之操作資訊完成特徵分析、編碼、辨識之後，再對玩家進行遊戲操作經驗熟練度的判斷，從判斷結果依照對應的娛樂操作函數，計算出各遊戲操作向度的娛樂操作量，藉以動態改變三維遊戲劇情內容，例如：改變遊戲關卡的難易度、視覺特效、遊戲節奏等，以提升玩家遊戲的娛樂效果。

This paper proposes a dynamic scenario mechanism based on encoding and recognizing users’ operation patterns during playing arcade games so as to dynamically change the game scenarios for increasing the participation enjoyment of users. By encoding the difference in terms of distance, per pair of continuous user inputs, the sequence of users’ operations, we can characterize and rank the users’ experience in playing the game. According to the rank of users’ experience recognized and the corresponding enjoyment function curve, the adapted game scenarios (e.g., changing the challenge level, visualization effect, rhythm of playing game, and so on) will be accordingly determined to increase the degree of entertainment as they are playing the arcade game.
