Automatic Code Generation of User-Centered Serious Games: A Systematic Literature Review

This paper reviews the literature on automatic code generation of user-centered serious games. As an early literature review led us to just one paper, we decided to break the study in two parts: one study about model driven engineering of serious games, and another study about user-centered serious games. This paper presents these two studies, where a total of 123 works were analyzed. The overall conclusion is that work still needs to be done to combine user-centered serious games and automatic code generation in order to escape from ad-hoc solutions that usually are time-consuming and error-prone.
