“…Corno et al (Corno, De Russis, & Sáenz, 2019) introduced a notebook for IoT development by executing notebook on top of the Docker Engine. Many other computational notebooks like GrapePress for Graph Transformations (Weber, 2021) and visJS2jupyter for visualizing mechanisms of biological processes (Rosenthal et al, 2018) have been proposed by researchers to help developers by providing interactive and user-friendly environments.…”

Game development-based approaches are increasingly used to design curricula that can engage students, as these can help them apply and practice learnt computer science concepts. However, it can become complex to develop a minimum working game or a prototype with the help of high-end game engines. Game prototyping is one of the most essential parts of the game design and development cycle as it allows developers to continuously test and improve their ideas. In recent years, computational notebooks have gained widespread popularity among developers. They can help run individual code snippets, visualize the output, consolidate the source code, and share live code easily. However, its use has not been explored in the field of game development and prototyping. In this paper, we propose NoteG, a computational notebook towards rapid game prototyping. We evaluated the tool with 18 novice game developers through a questionnaire-based user survey. A majority of the volunteers (66%) found it easy to use and were of the opinion that it saves time. A few of the participants successfully extended the existing framework to implement new game mechanics within their prototypes.

“…GrapeVine is implemented on top of the Neo4J graph database and derives much of its scalability from that architecture. The tool is a fundamentally new revision of the earlier tools Grape [19] and Grape Press [20]. Compared to these earlier tools, the main novelty in GrapeVine is its functional computational model, where graphs are considered immutable and programs can be deterministic.…”

“…Gorilla is a browser-based computational notebook for Clojure, similar to other computational notebook technologies, like the well-known Jupyter notebooks. Using this platform, GrapeVine supports visualization of graphs, rules, and constraints (among other things) [20]. GrapeVine can also be used independently of the computational notebook UI; GrapeVine programs are regular Clojure programs, which run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and can thus integrate with any other JVM language, such as Java, Kotlin, Scala, Groovy, etc.…”

Applications of graph transformation (GT) systems often require control structures that can be used to direct GT processes. Most existing GT tools follow a stateful computational model, where a single graph is repeatedly modified in-place when GT rules are applied. The implementation of control structures in such tools is not trivial. Common challenges include dealing with the non-determinism inherent to rule application and transactional constraints when executing compositions of GTs, in particular atomicity and isolation. The complexity of associated transaction mechanisms and rule application search algorithms (e.g., backtracking) complicates the definition of a formal foundation for these control structures. Compared to these stateful approaches, functional graph rewriting presents a simpler (stateless) computational model, which simplifies the definition of a formal basis for (functional) GT control structures. In this paper, we propose the Graph Transformation control Algebra (GTA) as such a foundation. The GTA has been used as the formal basis for implementing the control structures in the (functional) GT tool GrapeVine.
