In our digital era, insider attacks are among the serious underresearched areas of the cybersecurity landscape. A significant type of insider attack is facilitated by employees without malicious intent. They are called unintentional perpetrators. We proposed mitigating these threats using a simulation-game platform to detect the potential attack vectors. This paper introduces and implements a scenario that demonstrates the usability of this approach in a case study. This work also helps to understand players' behavior when they are not told upfront that they will be a target of social engineering attacks. Furthermore, we provide relevant acquired observations for future research.

One of the Agile principles is that the team should regularly reflect on"how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly". While the setup of a retrospective session is intuitive, in praxis, conducting successful retrospectives is challenging. This paper is a continuation of our previous work on the use collaborative games in addressing common retrospective problems. In addition to the replication of our previous action research in a new context, we aim to investigate whether preliminary anonymous idea generation mitigates negative social influences that have been identified as causes of poor performance of brainstorming. The obtained results confirms the previous findings that game-based retrospectives produces better results than the standard retrospective as well as improves participants' creativity, involvement, and communication. Our findings also suggest benefits to the preliminary anonymous idea generation.

Gamification is applied in different information systems to motivate the users and make their experience with the system richer and more engaging. Gamification employed in e-guides aims at enhancing the process of visiting a tourist attraction. Even though each tourist attraction is unique and requires an individual gamification scheme, similarities in the components and procedures used to develop such schemes led to the development of a generic e-guide gamification framework. One of its main principles is to store the gamification rules as a content separate from the engine to process them. This way, the rules can be easily edited by subject matter experts. This paper describes a visual rule editor developed to facilitate this process.

Real-time ray tracing has been a goal and a challenge in the graphics field for many decades. With recent advances in the hardware and software domains, this is becoming a reality today. In this work, we describe how we got to this point by taking a look back at one of the first fully ray traced games:``Quake 3: Ray Traced''. We provide insight into the development steps of the project with unreleased internal details and images. From a historical perspective, we look at the challenges pioneering in this area in the year 2004 and highlight the learnings in implementing the system, many of which are relevant today. We start by going from a blank screen to the full ray traced gaming experience with dynamic animations, lighting, rendered special effects and a simplistic implementation of the gameplay with basic AI enemies. We describe the challenges encountered with aliasing and the methods used to alleviate it. Lastly, we describe for the first time the unofficial continuation of the project, code named``Quake 3: Team Arena Ray Traced'', and provide an overview of the changes over the past 15 years that made it possible to generate fully ray-traced interactive gaming experiences with mass market hardware and an open software stack.

This article describes an algorithm for procedural generation of underground systems with terrain features, by processing set of schematic maps. L-system and cellular automata are used to generate final system shapes. Most of existing algorithms are not suitable for application in computer games, since they usually lack any considerable level of control, require large amount of computation or produce overly complex meshes. We present our solution, that can produce editable 3D objects from very simple input, with high level of control over final system layout. We also allow evaluation at every key step of generation process. Presented approach incorporates placement of various terrain features with stalactites, stalagmites and columns as an example of such elements. Obtained results can be used in computer games or similar applications.

W ramach pracy nad artykułem stworzone zostały dwie gry 2D - jedna przy użyciu środowiska Unity oraz druga przy użyciu LibGDX. Szczególną uwagę w pracy poświęcono porównaniu wydajności obu gier. W tym celu przeprowadzo-no badania, które miały na celu określenie, która z gier ma lepszy wpływ na zużycie zasobów procesora oraz pamięci RAM. Poświęcono również uwagę wsparciu społeczności dla obu narzędzi oraz komfortowi programisty podczas pracy w obu wspomnianych narzędziach. Wyniki badań wydajności sugerują, że LibGDX może być lepszym wyborem do tworzenia niewielkich projektów, których priorytetem jest wydajność. Na korzyść Unity przemawia jednak wsparcie społeczności oraz komfort korzystania z tego środowiska i brak konieczności korzystania z programów zewnętrznych.

As part of the work on the article, two 2D games were created – one based on the Unity environment and the other based on LibGDX. Main focus in the work was to compare the performance of both games. For this purpose, research was carried out to determine which game has a better impact on the usage of CPU and RAM resources. Attention was also paid to community support for both tools and the programmer’s comfort during the work in both of these tools. The results of the performance studies suggest that LibGDX may be a better choice for creating small projects where performance is a priority. However, the support of the community and the comfort of working with the environment and the lack of need to use external programs speak in favor of Unity.

The paper discussed two phenomena characteristic of using a computer game as a promotional tool: in-game advertising and advergaming. The starting point for the considerations comes as a presentation of the historic and social context of the phenomenon. The presentation also provides a list of indispensable definitions. The further analysis investigates an obligation to apply the advertising regulating provisions included in the most essential acts of law to computer games. The reasoning is supplemented with deliberations regarding the issue of advertising of virtual products which do not have real equivalents. In further order, the paper investigates a phenomenon of an advertiser’s seeking redress on the grounds of defective advertising, as well as a possibility of the violation of the personal rights of authors of a game which stem from including an advertisement into the game or from product placement allowed by the publisher without their knowledge and consent.

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.

Real-time strategy games are currently very popular as a testbed for AI research and education. StarCraft: Brood War (SC:BW) is one of such games. Recently, a new large, unlabeled human versus human SC:BW game replay dataset called STARDATA was published. This paper aims to prove that the player strategy diversity requirement of the dataset is met, i.e., that the diversity of player strategies in STARDATA replays is of sufficient quality. To this end, we built a competitive SC:BW agent from scratch and trained its strategic decision making process on STARDATA. The results show that in the current state of the competitive environment the agent is capable of keeping a stable rating and a decent win rate over a longer period of time. It also performs better than our other, simple rule-based agent. Therefore, we conclude that the strategy diversity requirement of STARDATA is met.

In this article I am considering the situation of interactivity and interactive film in the institutional context of the cinema that is outlined by the rules of cinematographic industry. I draw attention to the fact that despite the ongoing digitalization in all cinematographic areas: production, distribution, presentation, and reception, interactivity is seen as a non-film feature and, as a consequence, it is marginalized. Cinematography opens up to any digital technological innovations that do not violate a standard model of film experience. Interactivity is seen here as a feature of games and not of films. An interactive film that is thrown to the periphery of institutionalized cinema, becomes a phenomenon of audio-visual avant-garde that is a common part of both cinema and art.

W artykule rozważam sytuację interaktywności i filmu interaktywnego w kontekście instytu-cjonalnym kina, wyznaczanym przez reguły przemysłu kinematograficznego. Zwracam uwa-gę na to, że pomimo postępującej cyfryzacji wszystkich obszarów produkcji, dystrybucji i od-bioru filmów, interaktywność jest postrzegana jako właściwość niefilmowa i w konsekwencji marginalizowana. Kinematografia otwiera się szeroko na wszystkie innowacje technologiczne, które nie naruszają standardowego modelu doświadczenia filmowego. Interaktywność uzna-wana jest tu za właściwość gier a nie kina. Film interaktywny, wyrzucany na peryferie instytu-cjonalnego systemu kina, staje się częścią awangardy audiowizualnej, wspólnej części prze-strzeni instytucjonalnych kina i sztuki.

The development of computer graphics forces new requirements on the developers, which will make the virtual world more similar to the real world. One of these elements is the simulation of fog. Common fog algorithms mix the color of the scene with the color of the fog over a certain distance. However, one feature of the naturally foggy scenery is ignored. With the distance and density of the fog, the observed scenery or individual objects become more blurred. In this paper we will present our implementation of the distance fog in the Unreal Engine 4, including the effect of blurring the foggy areas, simulating of light scattering and variations in fog density using noise.
