This book offers a compendium of best practices in game dynamics. It covers a wide range of dynamic game elements ranging from player behavior over artificial intelligence to procedural content generation. Such dynamics make virtual worlds more lively and realistic and they also create the potential for moments of amazement and surprise. In many cases, game dynamics are driven by a combination of random seeds, player records and procedural algorithms. Games can even incorporate the player’s real-world behavior to create dynamic responses. The best practices illustrate how dynamic elements improve the user experience and increase the replay value.
The book draws upon interdisciplinary approaches; researchers and practitioners from Game Studies, Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology and other disciplines will find this book to be an exceptional resource of both creative inspiration and hands-on process knowledge.
This book has emerged from lectures and courses given in recent years by the authors at their universities and shows how theoretical concepts of Business Intelligence are applied in SAP BW on HANA.
The authors developed a set of case studies guiding the student through the complete process of building an end-to-end BI system, based on a simple but realistic business scenario. The cases are designed in such a way that the application of many concepts such as staging, core data warehouse, data mart, reporting, etc., in SAP BW on HANA is introduced and demonstrated step by step.
Target Audience:
The cases are primarily designed for SAP BW beginners, who want a first introduction and hands-on experience with the latest version of BW on HANA. We briefly touch the general concepts of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing. These concepts are discussed in many excellent books out in the market, which we don’t want to replace. The reader should either already be familiar with these concepts or should be willing to use the references we provide. Also, this book can NOT replace a complete consultant training for BW, but it can serve as a starting point for a journey into the world of SAP BW on HANA.
