Abstract

We propose to demonstrate SGL, a language and system for writing computer games using data management techniques. We will demonstrate a complete game built using the system, and show how complex game behavior can be expressed in a declarative scripting language. The demo will also illustrate the workflow necessary to modify a game and include a visualization of the relational operations that are executed as the game runs.
