“…In developing multiplayer games, every element in the game needs to be synchronized, including the local coordinate system, 3D objects, text, and animation [45]. To synchronize these elements' charges, researchers used Photon Unity Networking's basic settings [43].…”

The study explores an Ethereum blockchain-based data-sharing system for a computer assembly simulation game, emphasizing the relationship between gas limits and transaction speeds. The research integrates smart contracts for secure data storage of scores and player profiles. A significant challenge identified was the complexity of blockchain's variable transaction speeds for the average user. The research investigated how different gas limits affected transaction times, with experiments conducted across three networks. Results show that a gas limit of 200,000 to 300,000 resulted in transaction speeds of approximately 30 seconds. Increasing the gas limit to 400,000 to 500,000 reduced transaction times to 15-30 seconds, while a limit of 600,000 to 700,000 led to speeds below 15 seconds. These findings suggest a direct correlation between higher gas limits and quicker transaction validations. The research concludes that investing in higher gas can significantly reduce transaction times, presenting a trade-off between cost and speed in blockchain data-sharing for educational simulation media.

“…As another example, if we are to research the regulation of game accessibility, said research would extend to at least people with disabilities and policy makers. Coincidentally, regulation (Brooks, 2017) and social gaming as previously discussed (Baltzar et al, 2023b;Hassan and Baltzar, 2022) are two domains where we lack game accessibility research and would need multi-actor involvement to approach it. I see this lack of diversity in stateholders as a positive indicator for the emphasis the literature has placed on directly working with people with disabilities.…”

Digital game technologies, that is, games and emerging game-based applications, are pervasively spread in society as a means of entertainment, education and exercise, amongst other uses. With this popularity, attention has been directed towards the accessibility of these technologies to people with disabilities to ensure equity, equal access to opportunities and realize earnings from a significant customer group. This study investigates: How is the attention of academic game accessibility research divided across game technologies, disability categories and use domains? And where is attention needed? To answer these questions, I conducted a review of research (162 manuscripts) on game technologies’ accessibility published between 2016 and 2020, inclusive. The reviewed literature appears to have a utility focus (e.g. on education and health management) that relatively de-emphasizes the importance of game accessibility for entertainment or fun purposes. Auditory, motor and mobility disabilities, and emerging gamification, exergames, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are especially under researched in the academic domain.
