“…Specially, simulated situations (Figs. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] have changed along with respect to causality event and object's existence and states. The specific contents of those changes, namely, birth and death and state change, are substantiated in the events (or phenomena), which also dictated by their associated event and natural laws.…”

Computer gaming is a key component of the rapidly growing entertainment industry. Computer games are a multi-billion pound worldwide part of the entertainment industry. However, they are a relatively new type of software product and as such the manner in which they are designed and developed is still evolving. Computer games can be highly complex software systems that involve the expertise of a wide range of professionals ranging from programmers to animators, artists and musicians. When designing computer games, new game concepts can be difficult to communicate. In addition, the creative process could be benefited if game design ideas were capable of being shared widely and discussed. In this paper, we are to some extent shifting the focus from real world situation to what we shall term game world situation. That is, a logically simulated environment is created by defining situations and events based on the hierarchy structure of the situation. Our study defines event type, causality events and event normalization, and aims to develop a logical simulation method. These methods allow us to understand the communication of new game environment design. Specially, the introduction of the definition of events allows us to approach game design in a structural manner rather than by their classification. The proposed method was implemented in the context of changing among natural phenomena in a game environment.

“…However, the students were taught that there can also be a scientific aspect to storyboards. The storyboard can show the linear flow of events within a scene or animation, but can also be adapted to show how the flow might move between different paths based upon logic controlling the flow of the game, which is determined by the input of the game player [Taylor et al 2006]. In addition to logic controlling the game paths represented by a storyboard, the students were also encouraged to view storyboards as being able to describe the functionality of the frames within a scene.…”

In this article we discuss an approach to teaching computer games development to higher education computing students that attempts to balance the artistic and scientific aspects of the computer game development process. The development of computer software has traditionally been viewed as a technical activity. However, unlike other existing types of computer software, a computer game is aimed at the general public (or specific segments of the general public such as teenagers), and needs to be designed in a different manner, with far more emphasis on interactivity, presentation, and ease-of-use than other existing types of computer software. This is necessary, since if a computer game does not appeal to the consumer, he or she will simply not purchase a copy of the game, or play the Internet-based game. Hence, students need to be taught how to incorporate both artistic and scientific aspects when designing a computer game. ACM Reference Format:Taylor, M. J. and Baskett, M. 2009.
