The GAME Language is designed to greatly simplify the process of designing business and other organizational simulations. A successful game requires not only a well-specified model with appropriate relationships between variables, but also a specification of input data, output reports, file structures and error checks. It is these latter components which are usually the most tedious to code, the most poorly coded and the most standard in requirements. The GAME Language is designed to simplify or eliminate these functions while maintaining a great deal of flexibility in model specification.
A generator converts free-format specifications in the GAME Language into a PL/I program. Options permit Monte Carlo and Sensitivity Analysis and corporate simulations.
