A game is a structured activity, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool. Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more concerned with the expression of ideas. However, the distinction is not clear-cut, and many games are also considered to be work (such as professional players of spectator sports/games) or art (such as jigsaw puzzles or games involving an artistic layout such as Mahjong solitaire). Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and interaction. Games generally involve mental or physical stimulation, and often both. Many games help develop practical skills, serve as a form of exercise, or otherwise perform an educational, simulational or psychological role. According to Chris Crawford, the requirement for player interaction puts activities such as jigsaw puzzles and solitaire "games" into the category of puzzles rather than games. Attested as early as 2600 BC, games are a universal part of human experience and present in all cultures. The Royal Game of Ur, Senet, and Mancala are some of the oldest known games.

Ok, I have an awesome idea for a computer game. It is similar to another game but has a different moral, role play, atmosphere, and etc. The game it is based off of is a smash hit, it sells millions. Mine seems like it would be a REALLY good game. I already thought everything out, I just don't know if I want to go through with it. So how much would a fairly good computer game IDEA sell for to a large corp.? Asked by just4bay - Fri Jul 3 19:25:27 2009 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. You can take your design in and ask for a contract that gets you a certain percent of whatever amount of money they make from your game total. For example, the company made 100 million dollars and you would get 10 million if you signed a 10% contract. I'm not sure how much is resonable for a one time deal sorry.

For example "I just can't wait to be king" from the Lion King - We have the shirtless boys who paint numbers and names on their chests and stand out in the freezing cold - We have blackout games (Everyone wears black) - We embarass teachers and freshman at our Pep Rally every year. One kid always dresses up as our mascot = Rosie the Ram. - A lot of red, white and blue (our school colors) - The list goes on and on Answered by Sam - Sat Jan 24 18:02:18 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Game" |
