Conceptual Object Exchanges among Software Games by Non-programmers

摘要

A non-programmer, who is an expert game player, could easily grasp the idea of improving his jumping avatar by importing a flying property found in another game. But in order to actually exchange conceptual objects between games one would need a suitably transparent software infra-structure. We propose the usage of UFOs - Unidentified Flying Objects - that can be smoothly transmitted and embedded into the target game, and except for their conceptual label, are so-to-speak unidentified by the non-programmer. This approach has been designed and implemented into a distributed system of multiple software games in different mobile computers. Beyond games, this system serves as a feasibility proof for on-the-fly exchange of Conceptual Objects among any kinds of software applications.
