Summary
The researchers employed game refinement, the motion-in-mind model, and AI simulations to assess the impact of sudden movements in card games with incomplete information.
Games with a higher AD value are highly unpredictable and full of surprises, making them addictive.
Nor Akmal Khalid from the School of Information Science, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, has investigated the influence of jerks on game addiction through several popular card games-these included suits-irrelevant and suits-relevant games.
"Card games are typical incomplete information games. Short, repeatable rounds, chances, and strategizing make them among the most entertaining, even addictive, games. We wanted to understand why this was so."
These analyses enabled researchers to compare the different card games.
As a result, people want to play repeatedly, making Doudizhu the most popular and addictive card game.
"These components highlight the potential of GR and AD measures as powerful tools to understand gameplay. They will prove useful in making games more attractive and educational. Not just games, the findings of this study can be extended to help make any normal and mundane activity engaging, enjoyable, surprising, and even addictive. In essence, the boundary between work and play can get blurred, leading to an ultimate sense of achievement and passion," concludes Prof. Khalid.
