AI in Game Development: How Studios Use It

Video game studios are using AI across the entire development pipeline—from generating concept art and writing dialogue to building levels, animating characters, and testing for bugs. AI tools help teams create more content faster, automate repetitive tasks, and prototype ideas that would be too costly or time-consuming to explore manually. This article explains the main ways studios currently apply AI, the benefits and risks, and what it means for the future of game development.

Formula

This calculator works out your average pace and speed for a run or ride. You enter the total time in minutes and the distance in kilometers. The calculator then divides the time by the distance to get your pace in minutes per kilometer, and divides the distance by the time (converted to hours) to get your speed in kilometers per hour.

Pace = Time (minutes) ÷ Distance (km)

Speed = Distance (km) ÷ (Time (minutes) ÷ 60)

Where:

  • Time is the total time taken, in minutes.
  • Distance is the total distance covered, in kilometers.
  • Pace is the average time per kilometer, in minutes per kilometer (min/km).
  • Speed is the average speed, in kilometers per hour (km/h).

Worked Example

Using the default values from the calculator: you finish a 10 km run in 50 minutes.

  1. Pace = 50 ÷ 10 = 5.00 min/km
  2. Speed = 10 ÷ (50 ÷ 60) = 10 ÷ 0.8333 = 12.00 km/h

So your average pace is 5:00 per kilometer, and your average speed is 12.0 km/h.

When to Use This Calculator

Use this calculator to track your training, plan a race pace, or compare workouts. Runners often use pace to set target splits for a race. Cyclists and walkers might prefer speed. The calculator gives you both, so you can switch between them without doing the math yourself.

If you train in miles, convert your distance to kilometers first (1 mile = 1.60934 km). If you have hours and minutes, convert the total time to minutes (e.g., 1 hour 15 minutes = 75 minutes).

How to Read the Result

A lower pace (min/km) means you are faster. A higher speed (km/h) also means you are faster. For example, a pace of 6:00 min/km is slower than 5:00 min/km. The two numbers are just two ways of expressing the same performance.

Pace is common in running because it relates directly to how you feel during the effort. Speed is common in cycling and driving because it matches the speedometer. Choose the one that fits your sport.

Common Mistakes

  • Mixing units: If you enter distance in miles but time in minutes, the pace will be in min/mile, not min/km. Convert to kilometers first.
  • Forgetting to convert hours to minutes: If you ran for 1.5 hours, enter 90 minutes, not 1.5.
  • Rounding too early: Keep extra digits during the calculation, then round at the end.

Limitations of the Formula

This is a simple average. It does not account for elevation gain, stops, or changes in pace. Your instantaneous pace may vary a lot during a run, but the average gives you a single number for the whole session. For interval training, you would need to calculate each segment separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good pace for a beginner?

It depends on age, fitness, and terrain. A common starting point for a recreational runner is around 7:00–8:00 min/km (8.5–9.5 km/h). Listen to your body and adjust.

How do I convert min/km to min/mile?

Multiply the pace in min/km by 1.60934 to get min/mile. For example, 5:00 min/km is about 8:03 min/mile.

Can I use this for walking?

Yes. Enter the time and distance for any walk. A typical walking pace is 10–12 min/km (5–6 km/h).

Does the calculator work for treadmill runs?

Yes, as long as you enter the distance shown on the treadmill and the time you ran. Treadmills may be slightly inaccurate, so the result is an estimate.

What if I run for 30 minutes and cover 5 km?

Pace = 30 ÷ 5 = 6.00 min/km. Speed = 5 ÷ (30 ÷ 60) = 10.0 km/h.
