“Surfen is afzien, pijn lijden, liters zeewater
inslikken, omver geslagen worden om vervolgens
weer meters teruggeworpen te worden. Kortom,
surfen is pure frustratie. Althans in het begin.
Maar zo zout als het zeewater, zo zoet is het
gevoel als je je allereerste golf surft. Dat gevoel is
euforisch!”
Gaming is mostly
frustration

How do you motivate someone to do something?
Only works when
It makes this person (eventually) happy
It makes this person better (skills)
It makes this person wiser (knowledge)
Raph Koster
“Fun is just another word for learning.”

Only works through
Interesting challenges
Not too easy, not too hard
In small steps
