Zusammenfassung
This paper reflects on the choice of programming languages for developing distributed interactive systems such as location-based mobile games. It highlights key strengths and weaknesses of the popular languages and frameworks for the mobile- as well as the server-side. The paper analyses the technological choices made in five different location-based game projects and recommends considering the use of a single language across all different system components to mitigate complexity and strive for productivity.
