Paper Reading #8: Blue Danger: Live action gaming over Bluetooth

L. Wang, E. De Vial and L. Tokarchuk. Blue Danger: Live action gaming over Bluetooth. Queen Mary, University of London, School of Electronic Eng. and Computer Science.


The developers created a framework for adding on to a game call Blue Danger. The purpose of the game is almost exactly like assassins. The user development is in the creation of weapons and defense systems.


Once thirty users join a group, the game would automatically start. Each person would be given a certain amount of health and as different weapons hit people through a bluetooth connection, your health would lower until you were finally dead. Your target would then be given to your assassin.


The paper does not explain any testing done, however it does hint at some based upon the reference to different types of phones and their bluetooth connection time. They say that this is a flaw in connection that needs to be addressed.
