HCI/GUI Design Applied for Adaptable Context-Aware Mobile Game

This paper is about the design aspects applied to the StreetDroids Project, a context-aware mobile game developed for the Android Platform. It was the result of a one year project (2009/2010) combined between the applied science universities: Hochschule Bremen and Hochshcule Bremerhaven; immersed in the Digital Media Master Program1, in Bremen, Germany. The StreetDroids is an open mobile game where the users/players can contribute to its expansion by an available web-editor, being able also to apply the created missions on different games scenarios, taking place in the real environment, following the concept of pervasive gaming or real-world mission games. In this research paper, it is discussed some aspects related to the design of the user interface of the game, and the found solutions for designing for small screen, which can be applied for future cases.
