Abstract

This paper proposes the implementation of Esfinge Gamification framework to modularize the gamification concerns within an application. We carried out a qualitative study to develop a prototype for a classification system of transient luminous events in order to evaluate the proposed approach with regards to the identification of the dependencies that are necessary to instantiate such framework, evaluating the resulting coupling. From the use of a Dependency Structure Matrix, it was shown that Esfinge Gamification does not rely on any information related to the domain-specific application, except in the category of recovering points. Based on that, it is possible to conclude that the framework was able to modularize the gamification features, having dependencies only for configuration and to retrieve gamification data.
