| Guidelines |
| The topic of the thesis is to investigate how open data can be used to procedurally generate levels, difficulty and bonus content for an endless runner game. Procedural content generation may use, e.g., geographical information using OpenStreetMaps and combine it with details from Foursquare and comments from Twitter. This may result in an innovative gameplay where playing will mean open data exploring. |
