Parsec

Parsec

A parsec is a unit of measurement used in astronomy to represent the distance at which an object would have a parallax angle of one arcsecond, but it is also the name of a C-based simulation language used to represent a set of objects in a physical system as logical processes and interactions among these objects as time-stamped message exchanges. Additionally, Parsec can stream the host computer screen to any connected client computers, and the clients can send inputs back to the host to control it.From: Mobile, Wireless and Sensor Networks [2019], Echoing the Gameplay: Analyzing Gameplay Sessions across Genres by Reconstructing Them from Recorded Data [2023]

GloMoSim is a simulation tool based on the PARallel Simulation Environment for Complex systems (PARSEC) simulation environment. PARSEC is a C-based simulation language, which is used to represent a set of objects in the physical system as logical processes and interactions among these objects as time-stamped message exchanges.

The games were hosted and played on a Microsoft Windows 10 MSI laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card, Intel Core i7-9750H @2.60 GHz processor, and 16GB of RAM. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (Velavan & Meyer, 2020), the session was run online via Parsec (n.d.), a tool which is often used for remotely playing multiplayer games. Parsec streams the host computer screen to any connected client computers, and the clients can send inputs back to the host to control it. This allowed the researcher to host the games on their machine and stream it to the participants, who were then able to control the games remotely via inputs on their machine. Therefore, the participants used their own peripherals, which we did not control for.
