Abstract
The aim ofthis project has been to develop an early prototype of a system which teaches players the mathematical subject of algebra within the context of an emergent narrative to create continuation desire. To develop this early prototype, research was conducted on the concepts of the mathematical subject algebra, transmediation, emergent narrative in interactive storytelling and virtual environments, and narrative elements such as Author-Audience Distrance, Abstract- Didascallic Continuum, Intellegibility and Closure and Goal of the System. After the implementation this early prototype was tested for continuation desire and possible improvements in the participants' skills of algebra. The results of this test show indications of both improvements in the participants' skills of algebra, but also that a high number of participants enjoyed playing the prototype and both had the desire to continue playing and to play the prototype again. The test, however, shows that the prototype still needs work to make users keep playing, and there is room for both technical and usability improvements.
