Abstract
Technology trees are frequently used in digital games, but academic studies considering them are few. This paper puts forward a general approach for modeling functional technology trees and implementing them separately from the programs utilizing them. A scripting language framework created for portable and modular implementations is discussed. Moreover, a software tool for designing technology trees and for generating corresponding script code automatically is introduced.
