Dynamic difficulty adjusting strategy for a two-player video game

This paper describes the progress in implementing an adaptive difficulty strategy in a two-player game, which has been programmed in C, using the SDL graphic library. The selected game mechanics are similar to those of a tank game, which have been replicated many times before. In this case, the game conditions change depending on the players proficiency, so that both players find a challenge suited to their capabilities, regardless of their skills. This adjustment aims to provide players with a more fulfilling social experience through videogames. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
