Extension of Machinations Framework
Guth, Robert ; Gemrot, Jakub (advisor) ; Fink, Jiří (referee)
Framework Machinations is a tool for representing board games mechanics and mechanics of some computer games. Its main purpose is to allow game designers to test and tune the game's parameters before games release. However, current framework is not able to create models of some game mechanics and by that, it forces its users to simplify their models. The aim of this work is to extend framework machinations into a tool capable of simulating board game mechanics without having to simplify them. Thesis includes a program for working with an extended framework and a case study detailing the implementation of the Stone Age game in the extended framework.

Graphic Engine Based on Entity Component System
Polášek, Tomáš ; Matýšek, Michal (referee) ; Španěl, Michal (advisor)
The goal of this bachelor thesis is the design and implementation of a library for entity management which allows software development using the Entity-Component-System paradigm. Analysis of the current state of software design is presented, including comparison of techniques used for entity representation. Potential advantages of composition are discussed from the hardware point of view, primarily based on the memory hierarchy found in modern computers. Thesis proposes design of an entity system, using the ECS paradigm, which allows dynamic composition of entities during runtime of application from predefined components. The resulting system is designed to allow for easy parallelization of performed actions and user customizability of component data structures. The result of this bachelor thesis is a C++ multi-platform library, named Entropy , which enables its users to design applications using the ECS paradigm.

Dynacorp Prototype of managerial board game for teaching of system thinking
Čapek, Michal ; Mildeová, Stanislava (advisor) ; Brixí, Radim (referee)
The thesis is focused on promoting the training of systems thinking using board game. The primary goal is to create a board game, useful for training of the information managers. The secondary objective is to describe process of the design and creation of board game. The theoretical basis of the thesis is to define the profile information manager and demands for his skills further description of the principles of systems thinking and game theory. External work output is a prototype board game. The theoretical part of the paper discusses in particular the principles of board game , systems thinking and psychological effect on the player so that it can pass through the game players more experience. From the perspective of the theory of systems thinking are discussed and applied basic principles of feedback, causal thinking and system archetypes. Theory of board games then processes the options and mechanisms to transmit the necessary knowledge and experience. In the practical part thesis focuses on the description of the mechanisms used in the game Dynacorp and their justification in terms of teaching systems thinking. Conclusion The paper evaluates the fulfillment of the set objectives, the potential of game and describes future goals.
