Summer Research Topic
We are working on SimSYS, software intended to one day be able to generate educational games on any topic, at any level, and with any set of learning objectives. The program, written in Java, loads information from an XML document (which can be specifications for anything from a senior level software engineering game or a 4th grade level geometry game) and uses it to create games with characters, music, and a good deal of interactivity and customization. This summer, we are primarily working on SimSYS's preview tool, which allows educators (experts in the game's content but not in the game's code) to preview the game and make any adjustments they need before the game is generated.
