A) MMPRG
B) MMRPG
C) MMORG
D) MMOG

Accepted Answer

The correct acronym for the type of game described is MMOG, standing for Massive Multiplayer Online Game. None of the other options accurately reflect the combination of a large number of players interacting within a virtual world.

Question 2

In the technique known as ____, first it is determined which planes can be seen from the user's point of view, based on location and opaqueness, and then only those objects visible in the next frame are rendered, omitting all operations on hidden surfaces.
A) culling
B) clicking
C) slicing
D) striping

Accepted Answer

This technique is called culling, where unnecessary objects are omitted from rendering based on their visibility from the user's point of view.

Question 3

The sequence of operations that must be completed successfully to produce a realistic three-dimensional image sequence is termed the ____.
A) graphics streamline
B) graphics pipeline
C) graphics mode
D) graphics perspective

Accepted Answer

The sequence of operations required to produce a 3D image sequence is known as the graphics pipeline. The other options (graphics streamline, graphics mode, graphics perspective) are not correct terms used in computer graphics.

Question 4

In stop-motion animation, a single photograph is called a ____.
A) frame
B) block
C) unit
D) cell

Accepted Answer

A single photograph in stop-motion animation is called a frame.

Question 5

Users log on to the MMOG game server whenever they wish, using ____ software running on their home computer or laptop.
A) client
B) server
C) servlet
D) hosting

Accepted Answer

Users log on to the MMOG game server using client software. The client software is typically installed on their home computer or laptop and it allows them to connect to the game server and play the game.

Question 6

Typically, a ____ has its own dedicated random access memory where it stores its image data and which is separate from primary memory.
A) CPU
B) PPU
C) GPU
D) MPU

Accepted Answer

The dedicated random access memory where image data is stored is typically found on a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). CPUs (Central Processing Units) do not typically have dedicated memory for image data, and MPUs (Microcontroller Processing Units) are typically used for embedded systems or in control applications where graphics processing is not a primary focus. PPU (Physics Processing Unit) is a specialized GPU used for physics simulation, but it does not typically handle image data.

Question 7

The world in which the MMOG action takes place is created and managed by special computers called ____.
A) game hosts
B) game servers
C) game clients
D) game servlets

Accepted Answer

Game servers are the computers that host and manage the world in which the MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) action takes place. They store and process game data, respond to player actions, and facilitate communication between players. Game clients, on the other hand, are the software applications installed on players' computers that allow them to connect to the game servers and participate in the game. Game hosts and game servlets are not commonly used terms in MMOG technology.

Question 8

____ are fully modeled and fully rendered objects stored in a video library in video memory.
A) Cut-outs
B) Cut-ins
C) Block-ins
D) Block-outs

Accepted Answer

The answer of ____ are fully modeled and fully rendered...

Question 9

Using a CGI technique called ____, a human animator only needs to produce the first frame, containing the starting location of the object; the last frame, containing the final location of the object; and the elapsed time.
A) blocking
B) stop-framing
C) keyframing
D) mid-framing

Accepted Answer

The technique described is called keyframing, where the animator sets the key frames at the starting and ending position of an object and the software interpolates the movement between the key frames, saving the animator from having to manually animate every frame in between. Option A (blocking) refers to the initial rough stage of blocking out the basic movements and poses of characters. Option B (stop-framing) and D (mid-framing) are not commonly used terms in CGI animation.

Question 10

____________________ is an important feature ofMMOGs, which must keep track of each user's activity to ensure thathis or her actions do not incorrectly or inappropriately affect the actionsof other players.

Accepted Answer

The answer of ____________________ is an important feature ofMMOGs, which...

Question 11

The branch of computer graphics that studies methods for creating images at a rate matching that of the real world is called ____.
A) just-in-time graphics
B) real-time graphics
C) new world graphics
D) real-world graphics

Accepted Answer

Real-time graphics is the branch of computer graphics that is concerned with creating images at a rate that matches the pace of the real world, such as in video games and virtual reality applications. Just-in-time graphics refers to the delivery of graphics resources on demand, while new world graphics and real-world graphics are not commonly used terms in computer graphics.

Question 12

____________________algorithmsfollow millions(or billions) of light rays from their source to an object's surface and anysubsequent reflections can produce truly lifelike images, can take minutes or hours to render a single frame.

Accepted Answer

The answer of ____________________algorithmsfollow millions(or billions) of light rays from...

Question 13

____ is a rapidly growing area of computer and biological science research in which computers and graphics software are used to produce highly accurate two- and three-dimensional images of the human body.
A) Medical processing
B) Medical imaging
C) Virtual medicine
D) Visual medicine

Accepted Answer

Medical imaging involves the use of computers and graphics software to produce accurate images of the body, including two- and three-dimensional images. Virtual medicine and visual medicine are not commonly used terms in this context, and medical processing may refer to a broader range of activities beyond image production.

Question 14

A noncompetitive MMOG is sometimes called a ____.
A) nanoverse
B) metaverse
C) miniverse
D) microverse

Accepted Answer

A noncompetitive MMOG is commonly referred to as a "metaverse." This term was coined by the sci-fi author Neal Stephenson in his 1992 novel "Snow Crash" and has since become a popular descriptor for virtual worlds that allow for a wide range of activities and interactions, but not necessarily direct competition between players. Options A, C, and D are not commonly used terms for this concept.

Question 15

The most widely used and well-known metaverse is ____, a virtual world created by Linden Labs in 2003.
A) World of Warcraft
B) Voodoo Chat
C) Worlds
D) Second Life

Accepted Answer

Second Life is the virtual world created by Linden Labs in 2003 that is widely used and well-known as a metaverse. World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online game, not a metaverse. Voodoo Chat and Worlds are also virtual worlds, but they are not as widely used or well-known as Second Life.

Question 20

A ____ executes instructions in parallel with the CPU, the main processor, and carries out all graphics operations including modeling, motion, rendering, and display.
A) GPU
B) NPU
C) PGU
D) GIPU

Accepted Answer

A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is the component that executes instructions related to graphics in parallel with the CPU. It is specifically designed to carry out graphics operations such as modeling, motion, rendering, and display, and is often used in gaming, video editing, and other graphically intensive applications. The other options provided (NPU, PGU, and GIPU) are not commonly used terms in computing and do not relate to graphics processing.
