Adaptable game experience through procedural content generation and brain computer interface

Abstract

For high skilled players, an easy game might become boring and for low skilled players, a difficult game might become frustrating. This research's goal is to offer players a personalized experience adapted according to their performance and levels of attention. We created a simple side-scrolling 2D platform game using Procedural Content Generation, Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment techniques and brain computer data obtained from players in real time using an Electroencephalography device. We conducted a series of experiments with different players and got results that confirm that our method is adjusting each level according to performance and attention.
