Game Config Schema

The game.json file defines the full structure of a smart home simulation used in our game-based studies. It coordinates all key components that drive user experience, system behavior, and experimental logic.

This configuration includes:

• The environment context (e.g., current time, temprature, weather, etc. within the simulated smart home)
• The rules that govern smart home automation
• A set of tasks players must complete
• Definitions for rooms, walls, and doors
• Interactive devices with properties and states

Each section is defined as a modular schema and can be validated independently. For detailed documentation, refer to the dedicated pages for each section below:

Section	Description	Details
Environment	Contextual variables that may influence rules	Environment Schema
Rules	Automation logic that reacts to environment and devices	Rules Schema
Tasks	Experimental tasks with goals, device resets, and timers	Tasks Schema
Rooms & Walls	Visual and navigational layout of the house	Walls & Rooms Schema
Devices	Smart home devices with states and properties	Devices Schema
Device Interaction	Device action/state schemas (numerical, boolean, etc.)	Interaction Schema
