A Preliminary Field Study of Game Programming on Mobile Devices
TouchDevelop is a new programming environment that allows users to create
applications on mobile devices. Applications created with TouchDevelop have
continued to grow in popularity since TouchDevelop was first released to public
in 2011. This paper presents a field study of 31,699 applications, focusing on
different characteristics between 539 game scripts and all other non-game
applications, as well as what make some game applications more popular than
others to users. The study provides a list of findings on characteristics of
game scripts and also implications for improving end-user programming of game
applications.Comment: arXiv:1309.550
