define fun; what is fun to you & what is your favourite game

Today is 1st lesson....
hmm...well...the lecturer told us to think what super hero do we want to be and what super powers....

well...

i would like to be spiderwomen...hahaha cos i like spiderman and his special powers...
anyway....

Just to add on, I like to play Dead or Alive on xbox and Daytona at arcade. Why I like to play Dead or Alive is because I can attack the other player at a corner and hit the player until the player dies, just by pushing not stop on a certain buttons. And I can win my husband for a hour playing this game...and my hubby was really pissed off. Opps... Well, why I like daytona at arcade because, I like racing game. And I mostly beat my husband in the game at the arcade. My hubby will be also pissed off as I won using automatic gear and actually I don't drive even I have driving license.

Well, I think is all about the winning that why I like the game. I have other games that are too diffcult for me and it really turns me off... Whenever, I completed a level of the game, I become happier. As game gets harder when the levels increase. I find it fun when I win the game...

Well, I am not much a really fine gamer

I have only played and complete these few games Feng Yu - rpg game, pokemon - gameboy on PC, street fighter - arcade, Art of fighting - arcade, Dead or Alive on xbox and Daytona - arcade, bubble puzzle - on pc, pinball - on pc, solatire - on pc, bomb - on pc and basketball game -arcade and catching doll game by scoping sweets game - arcade.

Hoping to play more games...and learn to develop games and enjoy this course...

So that I teach my student at ITE in the games design and development course...

cheers

Define fun
Fun is when the player enjoys the game no matter how simple the game is. Whether uno or munchkin. When the game can connect and attract the players.

As the level of game increase the obstacles get harder as well. Of course, the game cannot be too diffcult to play that is beyond the abilities of the players. The game should have excitment to create anxiety to players. Eg. fighting the king...The game should not be too easy as players will get bore. So there must be a flow as the player gets to the next level of the game, the anxiety, the challenge of the game increase and the player moving towards the objective of the game. when moving towards the objective of the game, it encourage the players to play on as player is going to win the game when the objective is reached.

Info from lecture:

The pattern when users get used to it. Of course, if too easy. It will be boring.
