Abstract

Managing the flow of time and the coordination of multiple components in games (and other highly interactive applications) is a challenging task. Therefore game development requires a lot of effort, even for (apparently) simple scenarios. To reduce the cost and effort of game development, we designed a new computer language called “Casanova 2”. Using a case study, we demonstrate that Casanova 2 can be used to implement typical game scenario’s using functional programming constructs. Our evaluation shows that it has both a high performance and a high
usability.
