Using open data and player profiling to create data games catered to the player

Abstract

In this study we set out to try and create an Adaptive Data Game. A data game is game that allows its players to explore open data by transforming that data into game content that the player is able to interact with. The problem with data games is that sometimes the data is too hard for the player to understand without some kind of prior knowledge of the dataset. To solve this problem we want the game to only present the player with data which that he/she can understand and prevent the player from becoming frustrated or bored.
