An Analysis of Maintainability Index Influencing Metrics and Their Behavior on Similar Open Source Gaming Application Developed in C, C++ and, JAVA

Abstract

Gaming is a major entertainment to the world. It plays an important role in reducing the stress of many people. Constructing a game with high Quality is an important aspect. The quality of gaming software depends on many factors such as reliability, usability, maintainability, and other factors. Maintainability is a predominant factor among them as it affects the cost of open source gaming projects. It is important to forecast the consequence of such a crucial factor ahead of releasing the games as they are nonprofitable to the developers. In this paper, we collected 25 open source gaming application developed in various programming languages with the help of visualization and statistical approach to examine the maintainability of gaming applications. OSS gaming has an acceptable level of maintainability with a vast behavioral difference between metrics.
