 \section{Location based Games: Put the 'fun' in education}
-Location based Games are at the intersection of GIS and gaming technology \cite{Ahlqvist2018}.
+In this thesis, a framework for the analysis of spatial game data is developed.
+Spatial games, also known as location based games, are at the intersection of GIS and gaming technology \cite{Ahlqvist2018}.
 With game actions tied to real-world spatial places, this genre breaks the magic circle of games: they are embedded into the environment and the boundary between game and non-game are vanishing \cite{montola2009games}.
 As they feature locomotion as an essential game part, a focus on certain aspects of the environment can be achieved by game related tasks.
 These tasks can include educational aspects or reward special behaviour through ingame benefits as mean of gamification.
 A playable game with good balance and a lasting impact needs to consider the trade-off between board and race style games \cite{1705427,kremer2013spatial}.
 Board style games are dominated by strategic planning with less temporal restrictions, while race styled games favour the physical capabilities of the fastest players.

 With a fine tuned setup of educational content, game elements and integration of locomotion on the other hand, location based games (also known as geogames) foster recognition of the environment.

 Located in an orchard, the blue dots are caches tied to game actions.
 To proceed in the games narrative story, the caches are to be completed.
 The players have to complete a task with context of the caches' location.

 While the development of a custom stack requires a lot of infrastructural work to get the project running, the learnings above give points to build a custom solution as a feasible alternative:

+With the requirements from \autoref{sec:require} and the learnings from log processing evaluations in mind, a modular processing pipeline depicted in \autoref{img:flowchart} allows for a configurable solution.
+It comprises the stages of input, analysis and rendering.
+With interfaces defined between the stages, this approach allows the exchange of single modules without affecting the remaining pipeline.

-With the requirements from \autoref{sec:require} and the learnings from log processing evaluations in mind, a first architectural approach is visualized in \autoref{img:solution}.
+\subsection{Overview}
+An architectural approach surrounding the processing pipeline is visualized in \autoref{img:solution}.
 It outlines three main components of the project: Two user facing services (Web \& CLI / API), and an analysis framework.
 The interfaces (Web and CLI/API) for both target groups (see \autoref{sec:require}) are completely dependent on the analysis framework at the core.
