We continued to talk game.
There are two part of game. One is engine, and the other is participate.
Game engine is considered three points. One of them is graphics. And physics is very important in working together. Last point is ai. AI is running kind of rule. And a lot more.


“mods” is very interesting in game.
MOD(modification: fps, rpgs, real-time strategy games) Game is stimulated by mod.
Game can be entirely new games in themselves. For example, tum raider (original: tomb raider) . And pong in flash (original pong / mod 1 / mod 2) .

Ludology versus Narratology. The first campfire the guys on the hunt come back with a story to tell--that is something anybody can partake in. Ludology and Narratology is fighted. Professor said maybe Ludology is winer.

And we can see history of computer games.
There are two issues to consider from film theory.
One is identification. We thought about how do people relate to the characters and action on the screen. e.g., what do women do/think when the hero is a man versus when the hero is a woman?
Also thought about what does a designer or filmmaker do to facilitate the audience’s/players’ relations with characters and actions on the screen.
e.g., filmmaking techniques: POV, suture, the 180 degree rule, etc.


Two is space. We htought what is the space of cinema/games? what can the audience/player see or do there? And what can the designer or filmmaker do to increase, decrease, or change the space? e.g., montage and also think about the filming and editing techniques listed above concerning identificatiom.

video games as “metaphysical machines”
video games discussed by turkle is space war,pong,asteroids,pac man,joust,adventure.



boy’s space is enjoy lurid images, and prove themselves with stunts, also gain master, (re)produce hierarchies, vent aggressive feelings, engage in scatological humor, competitively role-play, and bond together, hese criteria are from Henry Jenkins’ article .

Girl space is a space of secrets and romance, a space of one’s own in a world which offers you far too little room to explore.

And we thought about hot and cool media.
