Bogged down with blogs...

So sorry, I haven't managed to get through all the entries from last week... guess I only have myself to blame! I'll finish commenting on the Calvinball discussions and assignment 1 ideas over the next day or so...

Anyway, without further ado, here's the next set of blog questions:

For a game of your choice:

1. Describe the formal elements that make up the game. Be as clear and detailed as possible.


2. Does this description fully capture the requirements for playing the game? Are there any additional rules or assumptions that you may have left out? Do these need to be written down? Why/why not?


3. Following Doug Church’s approach, try to extract the abstract design concepts that constitute the gameplay. Can these be transferred to a different type of game? Why/why not?
