What makes computer games fun
Description
Claire Miller, a software engineer for C±«Óătv and CBeebies, explains what she has to consider when designing a game. In order for a game to be fun, it must have well designed characters and they must interact well with each other. It must have a good story and move well from scene to scene. You must have to play against the clock or someone else, or collect points in order for it to be enjoyable.
Classroom Ideas
Teachers could conduct a class survey about computer games and apps. The questions could include which devices the children play games on, which is their favourite game, and which type of game they most enjoy playing. What elements would they include in a game they designed?
