Half-Real: Video Games between Real Rules and Fictional Worlds
ISBN:
Binding: Kindle Edition
Edition:
Author(s): Jesper Juul
Publisher: The MIT Press
Number of Pages: 248
A video game is half-real: we play by real rules while imagining a
fictional world We win or lose the game in the real world but we slay a dragon
(for example) only in the world of the game In this thought-provoking study Jesper
Juul examines the constantly evolving tension between rules and fiction in video
games Discussing games from Pong to The Legend of Zelda from chess to Grand Theft
Auto he shows how video games are both a departure from and a development of
traditional non-electronic games The book combines perspectives from such fields as
literary and film theory computer science psychology economic game theory and
game studies to outline a theory of what video games are how they work with the
player how they have developed historically and why they are fun to playLocating
video games in a history of games that goes back to Ancient Egypt Juul argues that
there is a basic affinity between games and computers Just as the printing press
and the cinema have promoted and enabled new kinds of storytelling computers work
as enablers of games letting us play old games in new ways and allowing for new
kinds of games that would not have been possible before computers Juul presents a
classic game model which describes the traditional construction of games and points
to possible future developments He examines how rules provide challenges learning
and enjoyment for players and how a game cues the player into imagining its
fictional world Juul's lively style and eclectic deployment of sources will make
Half-Real of interest to media literature and game scholars as well as to game
professionals and gamers

Science in the Age of Computer Simulation
ISBN: 0226902048
Binding: Paperback
Edition:
Author(s): Eric Winsberg
Publisher: University Of Chicago Press
Number of Pages: 168
Computer simulation was first pioneered as a scientific tool in meteorology and nuclear physics in the period following World War II but it has grown rapidly to become indispensible in a wide variety of scientific disciplines including astrophysics high-energy physics climate science engineering ecology and economics Digital computer simulation helps study phenomena of great complexity but how much do we know about the limits and possibilities of this new scientific practice How do simulations compare to traditional experiments And are they reliable Eric Winsberg seeks to answer these questions in Science in the Age of Computer Simulation Scrutinizing these issue with a philosophical lens Winsberg explores the impact of simulation on such issues as the nature of scientific evidence; the role of values in science; the nature and role of fictions in science;and the relationship between simulation and experiment theories and data and theories at different levels of description Science in the Age of Computer Simulation will transformmanyof the core issues in philosophy of science as well as our basic understanding of the role of the digital computer in the sciences
