Is there any development in different type of computer gaming?

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of gaming technology that utilizes brain power instead of traditional physical inputs like keyboards and mice. This technology is already being developed, as seen with patients who use brain implants to control a computer mouse through thought. The integration of man and machine is inevitable, and there may come a time when devices can perform functions and receive input solely through thought. While this technology is currently being developed for other purposes, it has the potential to be used for gaming in the future.

Nowadays, the most common computer games need u to use ur hands and fingers (i.e. keyboard and mouse). Or another type of gaming, VR which is less common. But is there any development of gaming taht just use ur brain thinking power to play?

In the near future there might be. The technology is already available. Some patients (victims of paralysis) have had small receptors implanted in the inside of their brains such that they can measure brain activity that would lead to movement, for example. Patients use this technology to be able to move a mouse purely with thought. The integration of man & machine is inevitable because of how similar they are.
I can imagine at one point you'll be able to have a device that can perform mathematical functions implemented on the external area of your cranium and whose functions you can query using thought alone, and receive the return values, again with thought alone (the returning of values would be a much harder thing to implement, but not impossible).
So the technology for the kind of games you mention is being developed even if not currently for the purposes of a game.

Yes, there is definitely development in different types of computer gaming. While traditional keyboard and mouse games are still popular, there has been a rise in alternative gaming methods such as virtual reality (VR) and brain-controlled gaming.

VR gaming allows players to fully immerse themselves in a virtual environment, using motion sensors and controllers to interact with the game. This type of gaming is becoming increasingly popular and is constantly evolving with advancements in technology.

There has also been a rise in brain-controlled gaming, where players use their brain waves to control the game rather than physical movements. This type of gaming relies on brain-computer interface technology and is still in its early stages, but has the potential to revolutionize the gaming industry.

In addition, there are also games that incorporate elements of physical activity, such as dance or fitness games, and games that use voice recognition technology for control.

Overall, the development of different types of computer gaming is driven by advancements in technology and the desire for more immersive and interactive gaming experiences. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more diverse and innovative types of computer gaming emerge in the future.
