Evolution of video games and their impact on society
Kováčik, Dominik ; Rujbrová, Šárka (referee) ; Šedrlová, Magdalena (advisor)
Cílem této bakalářské práce je poskytnutí struční historie videoher a analyzování jejich vlivů na společnost. Tato práce popisuje vývoj videoher od jejich počátku až po rok 2010 a také problémy, kterým museli vývojáři videoher čelit během příznivých i těžkých období. Také popisuje některé video-herní periferie a zaměřuje se zejména na virtuální realitu. Analýza vlivu videoher na společnost je založena na několika důvěryhodných studiích vedených odborníky, kteří jsou uznávaní ve svých oborech.

Autopsy
Hofmann, Petr Eric ; Záhora, Zdeněk (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on digital games, namely the creation of game objects and virtual space. An existing room was used as the main object, which was the auditorium at FFA. The outcome of this project is a computer app bringing users the possibility to explore the digital model of the auditorium. The digital technologies are providing us with a completely different point of view regarding the already existing room. The video game's interactive principles allow us to look closer at the image layers, called textures, responsible for the final look of a game object. The emphasis of this project is to communicate mainly with the help of visual language which will reduce the need for greater amount of textual information towards the user. The content can be unlocked by navigation through an intuitive user interface, an ingame tool to control the play. The title "Autopsy" was chosen as an allegory to the process of finding and gaining new information and experience thanks to the dismantling of a researched subject just to its main core. The autopsy room is not just a room, where the action happens, it is the action itself.

Simple Video Game Based on Reconfigurable FPGA Platform
Kuba, Adam ; Vašíček, Zdeněk (referee) ; Šimek, Václav (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to create video game. The target platfrom in this thesis is educational kit Minerva, which is equiped by microcontroller Kinetis K60 and Field-programmable gate array Spartan 6 by company Xilinx. The video game includes graphics output via HDMI, using the TFP410 circuit, which takes care of image generation. User input is realized using a keyboard connected to the pins of the kit. The video game is intended to serve as a sample application for a educational kit.

Key Differences Between Japanese and Western Video Games
Agazhanova, Anara ; Rujbrová, Šárka (referee) ; Krhutová, Milena (advisor)
Tato práce se zaměřuje na identifikaci rozdílů stejně jako nalezení podobností v prvcích designu role-playing videoher. Rozdíly mezi západními a japonskými role-playing hrami ilustrují, jak kulturní aspekty ovlivňují proces vývoje her. Teoretická sekce práce se zaměřuje na základní principy japonského umění, jeho formy a estetiku, což jsou faktory, které stojí za současnou japonskou herní tvorbou. Je popsán jedinečný charakter japonských her ve srovnání s hrami v západním stylu, stejně jako důvody vedoucí k těmto rozdílům. Tři RPG herní tituly jsou porovnány z hlediska uživatelského rozhraní, grafického designu a vlastností postav.

Movement
Rišiaňová, Zuzana ; Janoščík,, Václav (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
The diploma project Move is a simple 3D digital game in the genre typology of platform games, specifically of an atmospheric-meditative nature, with elements of a walking simulator from a third-person perspective shooter (TPS). Its interactive content is based on topics such as portraits, wandering, meditation, painting and personal mythology. Through the author's stylization of the theme and graphic processing, my goal is to create a playable prototype of a digital game containing interactive elements, with a controllable character named Mo and the atmospheric environment of the levels through which the player passes. Using the medium of digital games, I would like to point out the possibilities of communication means, that it offers within the art world.

The City of Robors (A Video Game)
Kohlová, Zdeňka ; Dvorský, Jakub (referee) ; Kögler, Žaneta (advisor)
Bachelor thesis titled City of Robots 2 (video game) deals with what all indie developer must to go through if developer wants to create his/hers own game without a larger team. Everything is demonstrated on the outputs of the game City of Robots 2. The result of such a demonstration is a game design document in which you can find the backlogs of the video games. It contains narrative, gameplay mechanics, concept art, flow chart, level design, final design of the game, screenplay, dubbing of the main character and a sound basis. Another output is the short game prototype.

Multi-Agent and Optimalisation Methods for Stealth Games
Láncoš, Jan ; Vídeňský, František (referee) ; Zbořil, František (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the opponents' behaviour in stealth-based video games. It's main focus is the credibility of said behaviour in comparison to the opponents' real life counterparts and the overall immersiveness of the experience. The thesis describes the usage of the A* algorithm for dynamic pathfinding in a two-dimensional space. Furthermore it describes the opponents' patrolling system, their ability to detect the player's presence and also their ability to cooperate and communicate while trying to chase the player down. One playable level demonstrating the described behaviour has also been created as part of this thesis using the C++ language. The thesis can be used as an inspiration for anyone interested in making their own intelligent systems for computer games of a similar type.

Use of the game Minecraft in teaching chemistry
Mrvová, Marie ; Míka, Luděk (advisor) ; Martínek, Václav (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to introduce the digital game Minecraft Education as a didactic tool in teaching chemistry. The theoretical part deals with the issue of integrating digital games into education, especially into science education. It defines the concepts and presents the advantages and disadvantages that are associated with the implementation of digital games in teaching. The history of the development of digital games and the digitalisation of education in our country is also briefly mapped. In the practical part, the game Minecraft Education is introduced. The tools and features that enable its use in chemistry classes are described. Its educational potential is explored and the problems associated with its integration into the classroom are outlined. Keywords digital game, video game, computer game, education, game-based learning, chemistry teaching, Minecraft Education

Resilience and coping strategies of souls-like genre gamers
Bura, Jan ; Hrabec, Ondřej (advisor) ; Lukavská, Kateřina (referee)
The bachelor's thesis aims to find out whether there are differences in resilience and coping strategies between gamers - specifically between players of the souls-like genre and the normal population. To collect data, a questionnaire was constructed that included two standardized inventories, the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and the Brief-COPE. For the purpose of this thesis, the BRS-G inventory was also created, which is basically the BRS scale set in game environment. The questionnaire was subsequently posted to online forums and Facebook groups. Data was collected from a total of 147 respondents. Respondents were classified into 3 groups (souls-like gamers, regular gamers and non-gamers) based on time spent playing video games and preferences for the souls-like genre. The group of regular gamers was added as a control group to capture whether the difference between the groups was due to playing souls- like games or gaming in general. The Kruskal-Wallis test (i.e. a non-parametric version of ANOVA) and subsequent post-hoc tests were the main methods used to detect differences. Differences in coping strategies were minimal, almost nonexistent - the only significant difference was found in emotion-focused strategies, which was most likely related to gender (women showed higher values). In the area...
