I learned about it this week and I thought it would be an interesting topic to do a Wikipedia trial on.   The first article I read was gamification I chose it because it talks about gamification in depth and talks about how and where it is applied and the results it has when it is used.    The second article I read was Ego boo , my curiosity led me to this article because it is a component of gamification strategies. Even though the article on it was short I learned more about gamification and what elements are used to make a game fun.     The third article I read was  Gratification , my curiosity led me to this article because I thought it would relate to the topic gamification  people feel gratification after passing a hard level or hard part of a game after practicing and repeating levels.   The fourth article  ...

The paper talks about “fun” and gives a deeper meaning of it in terms of gamification.
