Gamification is when game like elements like point systems and badges are implemented into nongame contexts to get engagement and motivation. The paper talks about “fun” and gives a deeper meaning of it in terms of gamification. In my opinion I didn’t enjoy reading the paper "Gamification design: what's fun got to do with it" , it did give some good insights of fun when making a game, like how it is the desired outcome of a game and not necessarily a building block. I personally think it could have had some interesting information in it.

I also like the game because it has my favorite fights and characters and it makes me reminisce about the times when I watched the tv show and when I read the comics.

Game Brainstorm

  My first game idea is a simple idea, it’s to make a game where you would have to throw rubbish in a recycling bin, and it would have instructions saying what can and can’t enter the bin and it won’t have a time limit. The objects would be thrown diagonally and horizontally and to get them in the bin you would have the swipe them towards the bin. There won’t be lives but if you get the wrong object in the bin your score will reset. Or there could be levels, and you would have to reach a certain number of points to get to the next level and the point count would go higher after each level you complete. There would be something like milestone achievements, for example you could get ten points then you would get a text come down from the top of the screen saying something like “well done you gotten piece of trash in the bin”.   And as you progress throughout the game it will get harder, for example if you have more than 10 points or you’re on level 5 the objects would st...
