Game design

Game design is the art of applying design and aesthetics to create a game to facilitate interaction between players for entertainment or for medical, educational, or experimental purposes. Game design can be applied both to games and, increasingly, to other interactions, particularly virtual ones (see gamification).

Game design creates goals, rules, and challenges to define a sport, tabletop game, casino game, video game, role-playing game, or simulation that produces desirable interactions among its participants and, possibly, spectators.

Academically, game design is part of game studies, while game theory studies strategic decision making (primarily in non-game situations). Games have historically inspired seminal research in the fields of probability, artificial intelligence, economics, and optimization theory. Applying game design to itself is a current research topic in metadesign.

History

Sports (see history of sports), gambling, and board games are known, respectively, to have existed for at least ten thousand, six thousand, and five thousand years.

Come To Sin

by: Bananafishbones

Sun, all our dreams are dreams of fun handing out the
watergun
shoot me and I'll drink you into the shade I'll shrink you
finally we're done and stare up into the
Sky, flat on our backs we lie in quicksand slowly my hand
flies up and away with the yellow bird driven by
Wind, I think I'll come to sin with all this heaty windy skin
around my neck and what glory the sand in my pants
reminds me of Doreen
Sand, we cannot fight getting tanned
all the limits banned into the nightflight's right no fight
there goes the sun into the the nightlife Yeah
Whang I sing while the others swing
like a beam of light through a bottle
Souzie swings her phoney rings
Time, bugs crawling up our spine and the memory is mine
I'm a grain of sand in your hand so hand me mine yeah
that would be fine
Heat, I kiss the blisters on your feet a lizard's eye I great
I'm afraid there's no aid 'til we get laid
into the nightlife time's right no flight
Whang I sing while the others swing
like a beam of light through a bottle
Souzie swings her phoney rings
I think I'll come to sin with all that heaty windy skin
around my neck and what glory the sand in my pants
reminds me of Doreen, mocking photography
