Abstract
The GF Engine is conceived to be a versatile platform for game design and development that is based on best-of-breed game components and technologies to facilitate related R&D activities as well as application and content development. The engine aims to provide a framework for the research community, from researchers, technologists, application developers, and content creators alike, to collaborate, share, and experiment with innovative ideas and creative endeavors. At the research end of the spectrum, researchers conducting R&D on specific components could utilize the GF Engine as an integrating environment for proof-of-concept validation. At the application end of the spectrum, content developers could turn to the GF Engine to create their applications and contents efficiently.
