of competitive mechanics in mobile games, focusing on how competition influences player motivation, achievement, and social interaction. The research examines how competitive elements, such as leaderboards, tournaments, and player-vs-player (PvP) modes, drive player engagement and foster a sense of accomplishment. Drawing on motivation theory, social comparison theory, and achievement goal theory, the paper explores how different types of competition—intrinsic vs. extrinsic, cooperative vs. adversarial—affect player behavior and satisfaction. The study also investigates the potential negative effects of competitive play, such as stress, frustration, and toxic behavior, offering recommendations for designing healthy, fair, and inclusive competitive environments in mobile games.</p> <a href="https://480715.mit-edu.top/post/2675830149" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/20.jpg" alt="Differentiable Neural Architecture Search for Procedural Puzzle Game Generation" title="Differentiable Neural Architecture Search for Procedural Puzzle Game Generation" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Mary Johnson</strong> <span>2025-01-31 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://480715.mit-edu.top/post/3762801594"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/14.jpg" alt="Dynamic Pricing Algorithms in Freemium Mobile Games: A Behavioral Economics Approach" title="Dynamic Pricing Algorithms in Freemium Mobile Games: A Behavioral Economics Approach" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-3762801594.mit-edu.top/post/3762801594/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-01-31</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://480715.mit-edu.top/post/3762801594">Dynamic Pricing Algorithms in Freemium Mobile Games: A Behavioral Economics Approach</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper presents a sociocultural analysis of the representation of gender, race, and identity in mobile games. It explores how mobile games construct social identities through character design, narrative framing, and player interaction. The research examines the ways in which game developers can either reinforce or challenge societal stereotypes and cultural norms, with a particular focus on gender dynamics in both player avatars and character roles. Drawing on critical theories of representation, postcolonial studies, and feminist media studies, the study explores the implications of these representations for player self-perception and broader societal trends related to gender equality and diversity.</p> <a href="https://480715.mit-edu.top/post/3762801594" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/11.jpg" alt="Dynamic Pricing Algorithms in Freemium Mobile Games: A Behavioral Economics Approach" title="Dynamic Pricing Algorithms in Freemium Mobile Games: A Behavioral Economics Approach" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Brian Phillips</strong> <span>2025-01-31 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://480715.mit-edu.top/post/8103695742"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/4.jpg" alt="The Role of Explainability in Reinforcement Learning Models for Game AI" title="The Role of Explainability in Reinforcement Learning Models for Game AI" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-8103695742.mit-edu.top/post/8103695742/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-01-31</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://480715.mit-edu.top/post/8103695742">The Role of Explainability in Reinforcement Learning Models for Game AI</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper examines the potential of augmented reality (AR) in educational mobile games, focusing on how AR can be used to create interactive learning experiences that enhance knowledge retention and student engagement.
