An interchangeable editor to create generic and adaptable decision trees for versatile applications and game development scenarios

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel software tool developed to serve as an editor for the manual construction of decision trees, characterized by their generic nature, flexibility, and adaptability across a wide range of applications and game development scenarios. The editor enables straightforward definition and modification of decision tree elements and data, dynamically updating to meet changing needs and contexts. A key feature of this tool is its capability to export decision trees in a standardized interchange format, enhancing interoperability by allowing seamless integration with other computational platforms, including game engines. We demonstrate the utility and versatility of our editor with three distinct and comprehensive use cases, highlighting its potential as a significant contribution to interactive technology. The tool facilitates the development of decision trees, enhancing informed decision-making and strategic planning, and supports personalized learning to improve engagement and outcomes.
