Abstract

Video games routinely use procedural content generation, player modelling, and other forms of computational interaction that provide a good starting point for engaging computational interfaces. However, across these practices, games model environment (game content) and actor (player type) separately, which is out of tune with both basic and applied research. The ecological construct of motivational affordances, formalized as actor-environment system ratios, provides a promising alternative that could also prove fruitful for computational interaction in general.
