“Should My Best Prove Insufficient, We Will Find Another Way”: Time Loop Mechanics as Expressions of Hope in Digital Games
HCI in Games
Abstract
Many digital games use mechanics, user interface design, and interaction design to explore themes of science fiction and technology, including the ramifications of time travel and time manipulation. Time loop games, in which a character repeats ...
Improving Computer Play in Skat with Hope Cards
Computers and Games
Abstract
Skat is a strategy-rich card game, posing several combinatorial questions to advanced computer play for improved cooperation and competition. In this paper we advance trick-taking play by introducing hope cards, namely cards that excel not in all, ...
Individual-based stability in hedonic games depending on the best or worst players
AAMAS '12: Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems - Volume 3

We consider classes of hedonic games in which each player's preferences over coalition structures are induced by the best player (B- and B-hedonic games) or the worst player (B-and W-hedonic games) in his coalition. For these classes, which allow for ...
