4. Definition of a game What is a game?
A game is a system in which players engage in an abstract challenge, defined by rules, interactivity, and feedback, that results in a quantifiable outcome, often eliciting an emotional reaction.
Gamification is using game-based mechanics, aesthetics, and game thinking to engage people, motivate action, promote learning, and solve problems.
Game thinking is approaching the design process from the perspective of actions and activities, applying the mechanics of games to nongame situations
