Abstract
In this paper we introduce an effective mechanism for obtaining computer games of high interest (i.e. satisfaction for the player). The proposed approach is based on the interaction of a player modeling tool and a successful on-line learning mechanism from the authors’ previous work on prey/predator computer games. The methodology demonstrates high adaptability into dynamical playing strategies as well as reliability and justifiability to the game user.
