  194.                            <p class="info">This study explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and procedural content generation (PCG) in mobile game development, focusing on how these technologies can create dynamic and ever-changing game environments. The paper examines how AI-powered systems can generate game content such as levels, characters, items, and quests in response to player actions, creating highly personalized and unique experiences for each player. Drawing on procedural generation theories, machine learning, and user experience design, the research investigates the benefits and challenges of using AI in game development, including issues related to content coherence, complexity, and player satisfaction. The study also discusses the future potential of AI-driven content creation in shaping the next generation of mobile games.</p>

  221.                            <p class="info">This paper explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in mobile game design to enhance player experience through adaptive gameplay systems. The study focuses on how AI-driven algorithms adjust game difficulty, narrative progression, and player interaction based on individual player behavior, preferences, and skill levels. Drawing on theories of personalized learning, machine learning, and human-computer interaction, the research investigates the potential for AI to create more immersive and personalized gaming experiences. The paper also examines the ethical considerations of AI in games, particularly concerning data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the manipulation of player behavior.</p>
