The Computer Science Master's Program is pleased and proud to present the awards for the best thesis for the academic year 2023-2024. Among many excellent nominations, the following two theses were finally selected for award:
- Design and Implementation of a Single-Player 3D Electronic Game, Adventure-Horror Category, by Messrs. Dimitra Sarela and Stella Kyriazi (supervisors: George Lepouras and Nikos Platis).
- Beneficial Combinations and Applications of Object-Oriented Design Patterns, by Mr. Apostolis Grigoris (supervisors: Grigoris Dimitroulakos and Costas Vasilakis).
In their work, Mrs. Dimitra Sarela and Mrs. Stella Kyriazi designed and implemented a fully functional 3D, single-player, first-person game, which falls into the category of adventure-horror games. Their work included writing the rules of the game and associating the rules with the characters of the script they wrote. Using tools based on Artificial Intelligence, they designed and gave digital life to the characters. They created the game's graphics and successfully gave the appropriate style of an adventure-horror game. They programmed in the Unreal engine for the implementation of the game, while they also created a promotional video for the game.
In his work, Mr. Apostolis Grigoris dealt with a detailed study of object-oriented design patterns, presented traditional object-oriented design patterns and explored the combined application of these design patterns, demonstrating how their combination can effectively address complex design challenges, enhancing the modularity, scalability and maintainability of software systems. He examined various combinations of patterns and presented their application in practical scenarios for the development of flexible, scalable and maintainable software architectures.
Congratulations to the awardees and their supervisors!
