“…When analyzing the state of knowledge, it is worth referring to the search for various methods of exploring the reception of space in games and the player's experience. Research shown in [9,11,16,19] affected the choice of our method and its application domain. Additionally [17] authors employs surveys to appraise emotional state of an entity.…”

Impression curve is a widely used method in urban and landscape design to assess visual diversity of the space. In these studies, the method is applied for game level design. The goal of conducted research was the analysis of space perception in successive design phases related to the process of game environment formation. Next steps of the design process define the space burdened with more and more information. It aims to evaluate if initial assumptions, made by a designer at the beginning of the designing process, are maintained with the increase in the number of details and the content of locations. These studies are also a background for research in automation of visual diversity assessment. This, in turn, is related to making a player focused and interested during a gameplay, by the means of space defining an action scene. By applying a method from domain of urban planning and architecture in humancomputer interaction (HCI) studies related to virtual space, we show that both -defining the surroundings and its impact on recipient -are subject to the same rules in either case.

“…location and adjacency to the other players) will determine, who, when and how to attack the targets. The gaming data is fed back to the program gives rise to an infinite number of possibilities [31]. For example if player X is located in a vehicle and player Y is located on a roof each player has a field of vision however player Y will have an advantage due to the location on the roof.…”

There has been a paradigm shift in the way users interact with computerized systems and applications. This is driven by the increasing power and ubiquity of 'smart' mobile devices and the traction being generated in Cloudbased systems and the long-term evolution in service provision using Software-as-a-Service. These developments are supported by the rapid and far reaching developments in the related networking infrastructures. This paper considers the nature of Situational Awareness and addresses augmented context, Web 2.0, social media the Internet of Things, and the complexity of context. Mobile networks are considered with large-scale distributed systems and Cloud-based solutions. An illustration of the potential usage of collaborative interactions is presented to demonstrate the benefits which may be derived and the challenges faced. The paper closes with a discussion and conclusions including the identification of future directions for research and open research questions. The paper concludes that augmented context and Situational Awareness forms a central role in the effective provision of services going forward in Cloud-based systems accessed using mobile systems.

“…These methods became outdated as game designs became more complex and lead to a wider variety of player behavior. To overcome these limitations, several objective metrics have been proposed to quantify the game design [1] [2].…”

When developing video games, gameplay metrics allow to track and analyze the behaviors of users interacting with the game. Here, we propose to harness player's spatial trajectories to objectively quantify their gaming experience. Spatial trajectories are complex signals that are determined both by the players and by the topology of the virtual spaces they evolve in. In this paper, we propose a new methodology to measure and visualize how the entropy of trajectories is distributed in virtual spaces, and explain how it can inform game developers on the design of the game levels. We apply our method on the Sea Hero Quest dataset, consisting of the trajectories of over 4 millions players finding their way in water mazes.
