Abstract
Numerous simulation games have been developed since the 60?s by researchers within the construction domain. These games were developed for a specific purpose and possess a unique implementation strategy and structure. This paper summarizes some of these games and further discusses a subset of them, particularly those developed within the COnstruction SYnthetic Environment (COSYE). A prototype for a game development framework was proposed based on review of these games. It is proposed to implement this prototype within a distributed simulation environment to ensure consistency, interoperability, and reusability of the components and the game as a whole. COSYE is chosen to provide such an environment because it has the necessary ingredients for developing and maintaining such a prototype. The paper further discusses some concepts of distributed simulation, the features that exist within the COSYE framework, and the standards on which the COSYE framework operates i.e. High Level Architecture (HLA).
