Abstract

[Different types of game engines have been mentioned in Sect. 1.2 and a feature set to support pervasive games has been distilled and verified in Chap. 2 Using the resulting feature set from Sect. 2.3, a candidate engine is chosen in the same product line as a would-be pervasive game engine. Because the feature set requires support for a virtual game world with world persistence, and a shared data space with data persistence, a virtual world engine is chosen as primary candidate for, being an engine in the same product line as a would-be pervasive game engine. As proof-of-concept, a virtual world engine specific implementation is extended to support the entire feature set and used to implement the pervasive game, called Codename: Heroes. The game is briefly introduced from a cultural perspective and its resulting architecture explained. The explanatory case study in this chapter validates the chosen architecture and gives needed first-hand experience with the resulting architecture. Whereas features from the survey inform the architecture, the implementation of Codename: Heroes serves to highlight those features of particular importance and identify any open issues.]
