Abstract
Recent developments in the automotive industry show a rising demand for in-car gaming and entertainment. Series-produced vehicles offer high-performance hardware, displays, sensors, and actors, which can be used for gaming. This trend was recently confirmed in particular by the Mercedes-Benz Group AG, which integrated the racing game SuperTuxKart in its series-produced Mercedes-Benz CLA Coupé. However, integrating and interacting with C++ games, such as SuperTuxKart, is cumbersome as developers need deep technical knowledge about the internal structure of the game and its APIs. This makes development processes time-consuming, knowledge-intensive, and error-prone. To overcome this issue, we developed (i) a domain model for SuperTuxKart and (ii) a REST API supporting this model. The developed API serves as an abstraction layer that enables developers as well as researchers to integrate SuperTuxKart in a service-oriented manner into other applications.
