Browser Games

The standards like IETF as well as W3C are used to define the framework, protocols, and application programming interfaces. These interfaces provide further real-time interactive voice, video, and data in web browsers as well as other applications. This is explaining how media as well as data transfer in a peer-to-peer style directly between two web browsers. It’s showing the protocols handled to transport & its secure the encrypted media, traverse NATs & firewalls, negotiate media capabilities, and provide identity for the media. Web Real-Time Communication (Web RTC) is an upcoming standard that aims to enable real-time communication among Web browsers in a peer-to-peer fashion. In this paper we are aiming to present the detailed review over WebRTC framework. We are presenting the standard and technology used of WebRTC, different methods used in WebRTC, bandwidth allocation scheme discussed which is used for video collaboration under real time environment.

This article describes a study of 33 Polish political browser games, which are left of the set of 51 applications developed by Polish Internet users from 2005 to 2020. These considerations concern mainly the metaphorical messages conveyed in these games, in particular which features make browser games metaphorical messages, and what game structure is necessary to convey such messages. Differentiation of these game types is equally important. Owing to it, they can participate in expressive and explanatory communication.

This study presents an analysis of the pattern of communication between developers of socially engaged browser games with political themes and their players. This pattern involves a multilevel disruption of the message carried by the game medium and its construct. The solution is being used by the creators to show and comment on the causes and manifestations of negative processes related to politicians and politics and also having a negative impact on social, economic and cultural issues in their countries. In the course of the analysis, its author considers 141 browser games, originating from 23 countries around the world. Their creators made them between 2000 and 2022, and placed them in publicly accessible portals, offering access to online games via a web browser.

Networking and Services subprogramme Latency is one of the key performance elements affecting the quality of experience (QoE) in computer games. Latency in the context of games can be defined as the time between the user input and the result on the screen. In order for the QoE to be satisfactory the game needs to be able to react fast enough to player input. In networked multiplayer games, latency is composed of network delay and local delays. Some major sources of network delay are queuing delay and head-of-line (HOL) blocking delay. Network delay in the Internet can be even in the order of seconds. In this thesis we discuss what feasible networking solutions exist for browser multiplayer games. We conduct a literature study to analyze the Differentiated Services architecture, some salient Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithms (RED, PIE, CoDel and FQ-CoDel), the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) concept and network protocols for web browser (WebSocket, QUIC and WebRTC). RED, PIE and CoDel as single-queue implementations would be sub-optimal for providing low latency to game traffic. FQ-CoDel is a multi-queue AQM and provides flow separation that is able to prevent queue-building bulk transfers from notably hampering latency-sensitive flows.

W latach 2005/2006–2020 do sieci internetowej trafiło prawdopodobnie 51 polskich przeglądarkowych gier metafor dotyczących wątków z najnowszej historii Polski. W aplikacjach tych najczęściej podejmowano tematy: działania systemu parlamentarnego; procedur wybierania osób mających piastować najwyższe urzędy; wykonywania przez te osoby swoich obowiązków; stosunku wobec niektórych zachowań polityków; warunków bytowych Polaków. Gry te nie przedstawiały zdarzeń spoza mediów tak, jakby to były przekazy informacyjne obecne w prasie, radiu i telewizji. Polscy twórcy zdecydowali o komentowaniu tej rzeczywistości, sięgając po konstrukcje metaforyczne. Trzy główne cele zostały zrealizowane w związku z tym w niniejszym opracowaniu. Pierwszy cel to identyfikacja i opis cech, jakie muszą posiadać przeglądarkowe gry media, aby móc przenosić przekazy metaforyczne. Drugi to ukazanie ewolucyjnego procesu metaforyzacji polskich gier przeglądarkowych. Trzeci zaś to wyjaśnienie, jak ów proces zachodzi.

Cyrkulacja wizerunku terrorysty w mediach tradycyjnych i nowych W publikacji pod tytułem Terroryzm. Manipulacja strachem jej autor, Tomasz Białek, pośród wielu istotnych dla wyjaśniania zjawiska terrory-zmu zagadnień podejmuje problematykę modelowania wizerunku terrorysty w kolektywnej świadomości. Białek wskazuje na nadużywanie określenia "terrorysta", a także na trywializowane uzasadnianie motywacji działań ter-rorystycznych, postrzeganych wyłącznie jako efekty knowań szaleńców. Autor Manipulacji… przestrzega przed czynieniem z terroryzmu przedmiotu pobież-nych, przyczynkowych analiz i rozważań prowadzonych w dyskursie popu-larnym. Czyniąc to, powołuje się na Clarka McCauleya-dyrektora Ośrodka Studiów Konfliktów Etnopolitycznych, który "w książce pt. »Al-Kaida, bra-ctwo terroru« mówi: »Terroryści nie są szaleni. U niewielu dałoby się wykryć jakieś zaburzenie […]. Gdyby terrorystami byli tylko psychopaci, terroryzm nie nastręczałby problemu«" 1. Według przywołan...

W artykule przedstawiam trzy etapy rozwojowe gier mediów, w wyniku których w XX i XXI wieku gry przeglądarkowe mogą w światowym systemie komunikowania odgrywać rolę mediów interwencyjnych oraz przybierać postać gier społecznego oddziaływania.

In this paper, I present three developmental stages of media games, whereby in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, browser games can play the role of intervention media and take the form of social impact games in the global communication system.

Episodic online games are a free, audiovisual dynamic format played on the Internet. Although claimed to be nothing but entertainment, because of the multimodal micromedia and its structure, they are actually an example of modern persuasive technology with huge media potential. Under some conditions, the format of the game becomes the medium of the game. During the creation process, and by the manipulation of the audiovisual elements and the game mechanics, even the simplest free online game can influence people’s minds and attitudes. This paper analyses this effect, particularly in the context in which global society approaches the war on terrorism. Games, thanks to their players, also play a part in this war. By jamming the jihad dogma and by showing the cruelty of fundamentalist leaders, Internet users counteract the portrayal of Islamic fighters as heroic defenders of their religion. But the new virtual arena needs new weapons. This study assesses the structure and content analysis of online games in which terrorism and terrorists were represented.

Main thesis of the article is dedicated to the presence of the pornography coded in computer and video games. Because of this, since the beginning of the digital age and home entertainment, from 70’s games were not only glorified but also taken as an example of possible danger. After the year 1983 everything changed and users could find more and more pornographic and even obscene games. As a fruit of that fact Polish users could find the same in the middle of 80’s. Till the internet age has come, Polish children had different occasions to play dangerous genres of games. New danger was given as a gambling games, adventure games, collecting games, even manager games and interactive movies. The terrible fact was that ludical contexts (advertising strategy) transformed pornography to a play. Readers started to read about pornography, players used to play it. It was coded in language and mentality. According to this fact the author was trying to show the way which pornography has come into the consciousness of the youngest generation.

Metaphorics in Polish political browser games pictures the browser games in the development process. The Reader learns about them as the metaphors of the political processes taking place in Poland in the years 2005-2013. The applications analyzed in this elaboration contain scenarios visualizing the processes, their reasons, courses and consequences. They also picture the role played in them by political actors, resembling the real-life politicians, imaged in the game’s world, or the so-called typical heroes – politicians seen as generalized characters that cannot be given names or surnames. The browser games of this type are not developments featuring contents that the Reader would find in manuals dwelling on political theory and political systems. No one will become a political scientist even after playing dozens of games. They provide a moving commentary by the Internet community on the current situation at a given time and place and to the realities of the life of individuals and societies.


W Metaforyce polskich politycznych gier przeglądarkowych przedstawiam gry przeglądarkowe w procesie rozwojowym. Czytelnik poznaje je jako metafory procesów politycznych zachodzących w Polsce w latach 2005-2013. Aplikacje analizowane w tej książce zawierają scenariusze wizualizujące owe procesy, ich przyczyny, przebieg i konsekwencje. Obrazują też rolę, jaką odgrywają w nich aktorzy polityczni przypominający realnie istniejących polityków, odwzorowywanych w świecie gry, albo tzw. bohaterów typu – polityków postrzeganych jako postaci uogólnione, których nie sposób nazwać rzeczywistymi imionami i nazwiskami. Gry przeglądarkowe tego rodzaju nie są jednak wytworami zawierającymi treści, które Czytelnik znajdzie w podręcznikach traktujących o teorii polityki czy o systemach politycznych. Po ukończeniu kilku, a nawet kilkudziesięciu gier nie stanie się politologiem. Są to bowiem poruszające świadomość komentarze społeczności internetowej do aktualnej w danym czasie i miejscu sytuacji i do realiów życia jednostek i społeczeństw.
