2D Endless Runner with Dynamic Difficulty

This 2D endless runner game was developed as part of my undergraduate thesis at Brawijaya University. The research focused on implementing and evaluating a threshold-based Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment (DDA) system to improve player experience and engagement.The game dynamically adjusts its difficulty parameters — such as obstacle speed, spawn rate, and gap distance — based on real-time analysis of player performance metrics. By monitoring variables like score progression, death frequency, and reaction times, the DDA system creates a personalized difficulty curve for each player.The project included comprehensive playtesting sessions using statistical methods to validate the effectiveness of the DDA implementation. Results and findings were published in the Journal of Information Technology Development and Computer Science (J-PTIIK) of Brawijaya University.
