Digital games are a powerful means for creating enticing, beautiful, educational, and often highly addictive interactive experiences that impact the lives of billions of players worldwide. We explore what informs the design and construction of good games to learn how to speed-up game development. In particular, we study to what extent languages , notations , patterns, and tools , can offer experts theoretical foundations, systematic techniques, and practical solutions they need to raise their productivity and improve the quality of games and play. Despite the growing number of publications on this topic there is currently no overview describing the state-of-the-art that relates research areas, goals, and applications. As a result, efforts and successes are often one-off, lessons learned go overlooked, language reuse remains minimal, and opportunities for collaboration and synergy are lost. We present a systematic map that identifies relevant publications and gives an overview of research areas and publication venues. In addition, we categorize research perspectives along common objectives, techniques, and approaches, illustrated by summaries of selected languages. Finally, we distill challenges and opportunities for future research and development.

游戏和游戏的语言

数字游戏是一种强大的手段，可以创造诱人的、美丽的、有教育意义的、而且往往令人上瘾的互动体验，影响着全球数十亿玩家的生活。我们探索是什么为优秀游戏的设计和构建提供了信息，以了解如何加快游戏开发。特别是我们研究到什么程度语言,符号,图案，和工具，可以为专家提供他们需要的理论基础、系统技术和实用解决方案，以提高他们的生产力，提高游戏和游戏的质量。尽管关于这个主题的出版物越来越多，但目前没有描述与研究领域、目标和应用相关的最新技术的概述。因此，努力和成功往往是一次性的，经验教训被忽视，语言重用仍然很少，协作和协同作用的机会也丢失了。我们提供了一个系统地图，该地图识别了相关出版物，并概述了研究领域和出版地点。此外，我们按照共同的目标、技术和方法对研究观点进行分类，并通过所选语言的摘要进行说明。最后，
