mobile games in the development of social capital within online multiplayer communities. The study draws on social capital theory to examine how players form bonds, share resources, and collaborate within game environments. By analyzing network structures, social interactions, and community dynamics, the paper investigates how mobile games contribute to the creation of virtual social networks that extend beyond gameplay and influence offline relationships. The research also explores the role of mobile games in fostering a sense of belonging and collective identity, while addressing the potential for social exclusion, toxicity, and exploitation within game communities.</p> <a href="https://blog-280417794968.mit-edu.top/post/7543892601" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/6.jpg" alt="Learning Hierarchical Representations for Procedurally Generated Game Worlds" title="Learning Hierarchical Representations for Procedurally Generated Game Worlds" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Christopher Robinson</strong> <span>2025-02-06 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://blog-280417794968.mit-edu.top/post/7528910634"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/8.jpg" alt="The Role of Reinforcement Learning in Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment Systems for Mobile Games" title="The Role of Reinforcement Learning in Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment Systems for Mobile Games" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-7528910634.mit-edu.top/post/7528910634/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-06</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-280417794968.mit-edu.top/post/7528910634">The Role of Reinforcement Learning in Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment Systems for Mobile Games</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper investigates the use of mobile games and gamification techniques in areas beyond entertainment, such as education, healthcare, and corporate training.
