3.2 Creation

Ta s k 1 . In order to create a new game, click on the ADD NEW button.
Ta s k 2 . Select the game type.
Ta s k 3 . Insert a new game id as follows: bookX-storyY-version1-new-N ,where X is
the topic number, Y is the story number and N is the number for the new game: N=1
if it is the first new game, N=2 if it is the second new game, etc.
Ta s k 4 . Proceed as of “Revision” (Subsec. 3.1).

3.3 Delete

Avoid to delete a game. Try to revise it, if necessary, explain the reasons for deletion
in the note field.

Ta s k 1 . Use the DELETE button to delete a game.
Ta s k 2 . Create a new game of the same type (e.g., WHAT) as in “Creation” (Subsec.
3.2).

4Con lu ion

The paper summarised the software and methodological basis for the manual re-
vision process that takes place after the automatic generation process. The paper
introduces the rationale behind the guidelines that were used by the staff that took
care of actually revising the smart games, whose results are reported in [11].
