An Improved TaleBlazer Editor to encourage and facilitate collaboration between multiple TaleBlazer game designers

Abstract

TaleBlazer is a platform for creating and playing educational location-based augmented reality games. These games are made by both adults and children game designers using the online TaleBlazer Editor. Oftentimes, building a TaleBlazer game is a group effort, but the previous Editor made collaboration inefficient, difficult, error-prone, and frustrating. This thesis describes a suite of features designed to improve version control for a game and assist designers in sharing their work with others. Together, these features encourage and facilitate collaboration between multiple TaleBlazer designers.
