Abstract

With the advent of dramatically enhanced display hardware and graphical processing power, the public attention to the uses of large display or high-resolution tiled display system has increased. Specially, a tiled display system is way to achieve ultra high-resolution display with current technology without too much expenses. Most games still use only one screen these days. However, most games still use only one screen. This paper presents a game framework that is designed to allow developers to develop the games running on a tiled display system. This framework supports various input devices and allows developers add their own easily. It also supports rendering synchronization and distributed state sharing across a number of screens and a clustered computers. Finally, this paper presents a couple of games and a virtual environment are also presented as the prototype applications of using the framework.

디스플레이 하드웨어와 그래픽 처리 능력의 엄청난 발전과 더불어, 대형 디스플레이 또는 고해상도를 지원하는 타일드 디스플레이 시스템에 관한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 특히 타일드 디스플레이 시스템은 비용을 많이 들이지 않고도 초고해상도를 지원할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문은 개발자로 하여금 타일드 디스플레이 시스템에서 동작하는 게임을 개발할 수 있도록 지원하는 프레임워크를 설명한다. 이 프레임워크는 다양한 입력 장치들을 지원하고, 개발자로 하여금 쉽게 본인만의 입력 장치를 추가할 수 있도록 지원한다. 또한 여러 개의 스크린과 클러스터로 묶이는 컴퓨터들 간에 화면 렌더링을 동기화시킨다거나 게임의 상태를 공유할 수 있는 기능을 지원한다. 마지막으로 본 논문에서는 이 프레임워크를 활용해서 개발된 두 개의 게임을 소개한다.
