The Power Point presentation for my talk: "The Ethics of Computer Games", at Games: Design & Research Conference, Volda University College, Norway 3-4 June 2010.

The first computer games go back to the 50s when a nought and crosses game was created using an EDSAC computer. An effort at MIT ten years later led to a the multiplayer Spacewar game developed in a PDP-1. Even though these games were primitive, a game industry was born with the first games available in special locations – arcades. Today’s games are produced with modest Hollywood budgets and some are selling more than box-office hits.
In this lecture we look at computer games and the gaming market. Also we cover the impact of gaming and the trends.

Inspired by other charitable ventures into the world of apps, homeless charity Porchlight decided to build a smartphone game to raise awareness of the physical and emotional issues faced by rough sleepers. In his talk, Porchlight PR Manager Mark Parry shared his journey on how they did it, and the wider impact 'gamification' has on charities.
Gamification Benefits to Rewards/Loyalty Programstalktalk
Rewards/loyalty programs are proven to rapidly gain and significantly retain customers, increase faster repeat revenues and accelerate customer engagement.
Gamification adds to the concept of user engagement process and offers new dimension to both customers and staff. Here's #10 - 10 – Future trends in gamification changes the paradigm of customer engagement farther and faster than other means – game theory and artificial intelligence techniques will drive future customer engagement programs. Simulations of all kinds will be used internally to motivate staff and customers alike. Designing of games will evolve as part of nearly all business operations making the job of the job more efficient , effectively and certainly more fun.
1 billion gamers are set to join the market in the next 10 years. They will be getting more and more mobile and especially in the emerging markets. Wouldn't it be great if we could tap into the 3 billion hours per week invested gaming, as an opportunity to make our applications more engaging.
This talk is an introduction to 'Gamification' a term that describes using game dynamics order to drive participation.

Discursive Game Design or: Game Design as Cultural PracticeStefan Werning
The slides outline Discursive Game Design as a conceptual framework, that frames game design in four distinct ways: a) as cultural practice, b) as play, c) as persuasive communication, and d) as a research heuristic in its own right.
The games industry has the highest rate of creative destruction in tech, as we contend with new platforms, business models, design and art trends. This ever-shifting landscape forces large enterprises to retreat into familiar tropes with certain commercial outcomes, but the future belongs to those who innovate, pushing the creative boundaries of the products and the outer limits of technology. This presentation reviews a series of concepts ripe to be exploited by fearless indies or corporate rebels everywhere, from flicksyncs to metaverse-morphing neural networks.

Epic Win - Why Gaming is the Future of LearningJane McGonigal
Why doesn't the real world seem more like an online game? In the best-designed games, our human experience is perfectly optimized: we have important work to do, we're surrounded by potential collaborators, and we learn quickly and in a low-risk environment. When we're playing a good online game, we get constant useful feedback, we turbo-charge the neurochemistry that makes challenge fun, and we feel an insatiable curiosity about the world around us. None of this is by accident. In fact, game developers have spent three decades figuring out how to make us happier and more collaborative, how to make learning more fun and social, and how to satisfy our hunger for meaning and success. And all of these game-world insights can be applied directly to amplify and augment the way we teach, learn, and do research in the real world. In this talk, you'll learn how online game methods and mechanics can transform our learning communities - and help re-invent higher education as we know it.
