Well, another week has passed, and
this week was similar to last week, where we were told to play a numbers game (which
is supposedly tic-tac-toe in disguise). It was a bit different, however,
because we only played the numbers game for a short period of time, while most
of the class was spent discussing elements of game design, and what components
make up games.
We also had to brainstorm
different elements that tie to games, such as fantasy, goals, artificial,
decision making, etc. It was interesting listening to what other people thought
of games, and components of games. Although I had wanted to join the discussion
and add some thoughts of my own to the class discussion, my friends and I had
sat too far back to be chosen to speak. Next time I shall try to sit in a
better spot in the front in order to have a better chance to be chosen to speak
:)
Finally, we were all told to work
together in groups in order to design and create a game that involves the
category ‘race to the end’, where players have to compete to see who gets to
the goal first, and bonus marks were awarded to games that involved conflict. We
also had to design and create another game that involves the territorial
category, which is heavily used in the board game ‘Risk’. Well, that’s all for
this week, hopefully my group and I can finish our games within the week…
