The main topic of this paper is the problem of developing user interfaces for educational games. Focus of educational games is usually on the knowledge while it should be evenly distributed to the user interface as well. Our proposed solution is based on the model-driven approach, thus we created a framework that incorporates meta-models, models, transformations and software tools. We demonstrated practical application of the mentioned framework by developing user interface for educational adventure game.
