Sasak baluk olas scripts are the cultural heritage of the ancient Sasak people used to write in manufacturing books, ancient manuscripts, Sasak songs, inscriptions, or correspondence, which are very important to preserve. Therefore, this research developed a model and software for recognizing Sasak alphabets. This research is a model and software built using feature extraction zoning. In comparison, the algorithm used is the Self Organizing Maps (SOM) algorithm. Test results and level of accuracy ANN SOM in recognizing the Sasak alphabets are quite satisfying. Baluk Olas Sasak alphabets have become one of the compulsory subjects for students from elementary to junior high school. Complaints of students accommodated in the parents' questionnaire showed that as many as 52.86% stated that learning the Sasak language, especially the Sasak alphabet, was felt students to be difficult. These problems can be overcome with the technology they can be overcome with a new learning method in Information Technology, one of which is by utilizing Game-Based Smartphone technology. Baluk Olas Script Learning is implemented into an Android-based educational game using the Multimedia Development Live Cycle (MDLC) method and designed as attractive as possible, aiming for students' interest in learning the Baluk olas alphabet more increase. The results of community surveys, especially among children, "Baluk Olas Alphabet" Game got a good response as a media aid in learning the Baluk Olas script, with a percentage of 76,67% interested in the aspect of user friendly.

“…This game is made in 15 levels that have different levels of difficulty and increase with each level. This is made because the game's main concept is something that can be played with certain rules so that there are winners and losers with the aim of refreshing [31]. The description of the developed game concept can be seen in table 1.…”

“…The dialogue between literary and game studies is being cautiously reopened (see again Hutton & Barr, 2020) after a period of relative distanciation between the two fields. Bogost (2006) talks about "unit operations" to describe the way in which the formal properties of a certain artifact-such as prosody in poetry or a particular gameplay mechanic in a video game-carry a certain ideological meaning.…”

“…"The novel today is unquestionably being shaped by the cultural presence of video games," writes Hayot (2021, p. 180). The idea that literature may have influenced at 1 Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium least certain forms of (story-driven) digital entertainment is, of course, nothing new: it has been discussed countless times under headings such as "remediation" (Bolter & Grusin, 1999) and "intermediality" (Fuchs & Thoss, 2019), including by a special issue of this journal (Hutton & Barr, 2020). Video games don't exist in a cultural vacuum but build on forms and motifs handed down by literary history, from mythological narratives (in games such as Hades or the God of War franchise) to whole genres such as cyberpunk or postapocalyptic fiction.…”

Remediating Video Games in Contemporary Fiction: Literary Form and Intermedial Transfer

Game scholars have discussed both the ways in which video games structurally differ from literary fiction and the ways in which they remediate motifs and narrative strategies from it. In this article, I reverse the direction of that exchange, arguing that video games are disclosing new perspectives on both literary writing and literary interpretation. My focus is on how literature can integrate ludic strategies on a formal level, rather than by merely thematizing games (as genre fiction does extensively). I thus discuss three formal devices—multimodality, present-tense narration, and loop-like repetitions—that evince considerable literary interest in gaming culture. Through these formal experimentations, literature participates in a media environment that is significantly shaped by games. I argue that this intermedial transfer also offers an opportunity for a literary scholarship to enrich its conceptual and interpretive toolbox through dialogue with both game studies and gaming culture.

“…But perhaps the undeniable synergies between the two media might render the process of adaptation from movie to game more straightforward than, say, adapting literature to film. As noted by Hutton and Barr (2019), video game adaptations of great literary works are relatively scarce, for example, despite the increasing visibility of games in the study of adaptation.…”

The Force Is Strong with This One (but Not That One): What Makes a Successful Star Wars Video Game Adaptation?

The Star Wars films have probably spawned more video game adaptations than any other franchise. From the 1982 release of The Empire Strikes Back on the Atari 2600 to 2019’s Jedi: Fallen Order, around one hundred officially licensed Star Wars games have been published to date. Inevitably, the quality of these adaptations has varied, ranging from timeless classics such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, to such lamentable cash grabs as the Attack of the Clones movie tie-in. But what makes certain ludic adaptations of George Lucas’ space opera more successful than others? To answer this question, the critical response to some of the best-reviewed Star Wars games is analysed here, revealing a number of potential factors to consider, including the audio-visual quality of the games, the attendant story, and aspects of the gameplay. The tension between what constitutes a good game and what makes for a good Star Wars adaptation is also discussed. It is concluded that, while many well-received adaptations share certain characteristics—such as John Williams’ iconic score, a high degree of visual fidelity, and certain mythic story elements—the very best Star Wars games are those which advance the state of the art in video games, while simultaneously evoking something of Lucas’ cinematic saga.
