| Summary: | Nowadays, mobile games and applications have turned around in essential
elements in the current society. But, at the same time that world does not stop
(society, tendencies, ... it changes daily), mobile games and applications
should update and modify their contents. Thus, content providers play an
important role and turn around important.
The Human Computer Interaction (HCI) group from University of Patras,
have developed some mobile games with a playful and educative scope, and
also its content editors. But, could be possible stopping developing one editor
for each game and make one in common? even could we extend it to other
games not developed by the HCI group?
This will be our purpose during this document. Trying to create a content
editor despite the fact of the differences of the games, logic, user interface
and other many aspects which differ them. Therefore, the content provider
should be able to create, edit or update the information or content without
changing the performance of the games.
For carrying this out, first of all we should analyze which things the games
have in common and then, to get an abstraction. This abstraction should
work for all the games although they have incompatible properties among
them. Then, for this kind of properties, we should add somehow a visibility
parameter. By this way, that properties will be invisible for games which do
not use them.
Hence, this common content editor should be able to add, modify and
delete objects of the games which have been developed and can be played
everywhere in the whole world.
