Created by: avatar for pixelate pixelate

Game Description (Game published on 2007-03-13)

Episode 2 is the second of four games explaining the basic concepts of video games. It deals with the player’s motivation to continue playing instead of leaving a game and examines what makes a game fun – instead of frustrating – to play.
Please note that you’ll need the Flash 9 plug-in!
For more information on computer game theory and game design have a look at the recommended readings.

0/0? That is the most awsome score ever! A neverending assessment of a game, an equation that represents ALL numbers to the tune of ALL numerals…. interesting! Truly innovative, they should make 0/0 the highest of honors! Myes.
