Animation of Tile-Based Games Automatically Derived from Simulation Specifications
Computer Science and Information Systems, Tome 8 (2011) no. 2
Visual Languages (VLs) are beneficial particularly for domainspecific applications, since they can support ease of understanding by visual metaphors. If such a language has an execution semantics, comprehension of program execution may be supported by direct visualization. This closes the gap between program depiction and execution. To rapidly develop a VL with execution semantics a generator framework is needed which incorporates the complex knowledge of simulating and animating a VL on a high specification level. In this paper we show how a fully playable tile-based game is specified with our generator framework DEViL.We illustrate this on the famous Pacman1 game.
