HTML5 monialustaisessa pelikehityksessä : kaksiulotteiset minipelit Phaser-pelimoottorilla
2015
Mobiililaitteiden yleistyessä videopelien pelaamiseen on tarve pelien helpommalle kehitykselle ja levitykselle kasvanut. HTML5 on avoin web-standardi, joka mahdollistaa monialustaisen multimediasisällön näyttämisen suoraan Internet-selaimissa. HTML5:n avulla voikin olla mahdollista luoda pelejä, jotka eivät kärsi natiiviohjelmien tavoin yhteensopivuus- tai asennusongelmista. On kuitenkin oletettavaa, ettei HTML5 ja siihen sidoksissa olevat tekniikat tai sitä tukevat Internet-selaimet ole vielä täysin valmiita kaikkiin web-teknologian asettamiin haasteisiin, mutta sitä voitaneen kaikesta huolimatta jo käyttää täysin pelattavien ajanvietepelien toteuttamiseen. Tämä tutkielma tutkii monialusta…

Idea kotilon kuoressa : Alvar Aallon kampuskappelisuunnitelman muotoutuminen
2023
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan kampuskappelisuunnitelmaa, jonka Jyväskylän kasvatusopillisen korkeakoulun ylioppilaskunta tilasi arkkitehti Alvar Aallolta (1898–1976) vuonna 1961. Kappeli oli tarkoitus rakentaa vuoden 1964 lopulla valmistuneen ylioppilastalon osaksi. Kyseessä on taidehistoriallinen tapaustutkimus, erityisesti eri prosessivaiheista muodostuvan suunnittelukokonaisuuden selvitys. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan Aallon toimiston laatimia neljänlaisia luonnoksia kiinnittäen huomiota kappelin sijaintiin, muotoon, ja sisätilaratkaisuihin. Tutkimus osoittaa, miten määrätietoisesti Alvar Aalto piti kiinni arkkitehtonisen ja kaupunkikuvallisen näkemyksensä säilymisestä projektin edetessä. Kap…
Video games as new tools for political persuasion : web games of the Estonian Centre Party
2012
This thesis studies four web games that have been released in Estonia in 2004-2011 and have been sponsored by the Estonian Centre Party. Using video games in political campaigning is a recent and not very widely spread trend. Therefore, these web games provided an opportunity to examine the ways how political messages can be inserted into video games and how the qualities that are unique to video games can form political arguments and persuade the players. The main objective of this thesis was to identify the persuasive components of Centre Party's web games and to compare the persuasive arguments that were found from the games' representative layer to those that were formed on the games' p…

The game simulates a situation where team members take responsibility for managing a virtual manufacturing company and its supply chain. Theoretically, we consider RealGame a facilitating environment for people to collaborate by offering a safe environmen…
HR scenario game : Learning human resource management in a virtual environment
2021
This paper introduces a computer-based online scenario game that was developed to enhance the learning of human resource management (HRM) in an undergraduate course at a business school in Finland. What makes this game unique is that students played an important and active role in developing the game in collaboration with lecturers.

We discuss how computer-based games and their development in collaboration with students can be used as a means for learning and improving working-life skills in higher education.
