Advanced terrain models are currently commonly used in many video/computers games. Professional GIS technologies, existing spatial datasets and cartographic methodology are more widely used in their development. This allows for achieving a realistic model of the world. On the other hand, the so-called game engines have very high capability of spatial data visualization. Preparing terrain models for the purpose of video games requires knowledge and experience of GIS specialists and cartographers, although it is also accessible for non-professionals. The authors point out commonness and variety of use of terrain models in video games and the existence of a series of ready, advanced tools and procedures of terrain model creating. Finally the authors describe the experiment of performing the process of data modeling for “Condor Soar Simulator”.

W artykule przedstawiono różne gatunki i rodzaje gier komputerowych, w których istotną rolę odgrywa mapa oraz metodyka kartograficzna. Przedstawiono wykorzystanie informacji przestrzennej zarówno w klasycznych grach planszowych, grach komputerowych służących rozrywce, jak i tzw. poważnych grach o zastosowaniach profesjonalnych, np. w symulatorach.

The authors discuss the role of the map in various game genres, specifically video games. Presented examples illustrate widespread map usage in various ways and forms by the authors of games, both classic and video. The article takes a closer look at the classification and development of video games within the last few decades. Presently, video games use advanced geospatial models and data resources. Users are keen on a detailed representation of the real world. Game authors use advanced visualization technologies, which often are innovative and very attractive. Joint efforts of cartographers, geo-information specialists and game producers can bring interesting effects in the future. Although games are mainly made for entertainment, they are more frequently used for other purposes. There is a growing need for data reliability as well as for some effective means of transmission cartographic content. This opens up a new area of both scientific and implementation activity for cartographers. There is no universally accessible data on the role of cartographers in game production, but apparently it is quite limited at the moment. However, a wider application of cartographic methodology would have a positive effect on the development of games and, conversely, methods and technologies applied by game makers can influence the development of cartography.

Trenażery komputerowe są istotnym narzędziem do szkolenia operatorów urządzeń mobilnych. Umożliwiają prowadzenie treningu wielopoziomowego, w tym także e-treningu, w sposób ekonomiczny i efektywny. W pracy opisano zasady inteligentnego treningu - dostosowanego do indywidualnych umiejętności szkolonych. Przedstawiono sposób projektowania i tworzenia oprogramowania trenażerów przy użyciu specjalizowanych platform informatycznych. Podano przykład implementacji takiej platformy do tworzenia trenażerów operatorów robotów inspekcyjno-interwencyjnych.

Computer simulators are essential tools for training of mobile devices operators. They enable multi-level simulation training, including e-training also, in economic and effective way. In the paper rules of intelligent training - adopted to individual operators' skills - are described. Methods of designing and software creation of simulators with use of dedicated computer platforms are presented. An example of the platform for operators of mobile inspection and intervention robots is also included.
