Abstract

Introducing reuse and software product line (SPL) concepts into digital game-development processes isn't a straightforward task. This work presents a systematic process for bridging SPLs to game development, culminating with domain-specific languages and generators streamlined for game subdomains. The authors present a game SPL for arcade games as a case study to illustrate and evaluate their proposed guidelines. This article is part of a special issue on games.

Digital games and their development process are quite peculiar when compared to other software in general. However, current domain engineering processes do not addresses such peculiarities and, not surprisingly, successful cases of software product ...

Software product lines (SPLs) present the first successful approach to intraorganizational reuse. However, research shows that successful product lines suffer over time from increasing dependencies between the software assets that make up the product ...
