What are games and what are they useful?
What are “games”? And what are they useful?
Indeed, this is an article on a site dedicated to gaming topics and in it the author, t.e. I am going to talk about what “game” is? Well, nonsense, you say, but I do not agree.
This article is written more so that you can show it to any nearby person (we will not talk about parents who do not allow you to play the hollow of the n-th one a day and say that the games are evil, no, I will tell you about it, but in a separate article) and he would immediately understand what you are so admiring or what you spend time ..
So it implies the concept of “game”?
As the definition taken from Wikipedia reads: Playing is a type of meaningful unproductive activity, where the motive does not lie in its result, but in the process itself. The term “game” is also used to indicate a set of objects or programs designed for such activities.
And you are now: “Chavo?“I will explain that the game is such a set of actions, the value of which is not as a result, but in what was obtained in the process of this pastime.
Trite, as they tell you in the lessons of social studies (I don’t know how it is now), the game is one of the stages of human knowledge of the world, during her child receives knowledge, which he can then realize, “write down on the cerebral cortex” and reproduce in life, or apply in practice. And then again the question is, is it not like the concept of the game, to the concept of learning.
No, the game is based on interactivity, direct interaction on “knowledge” (of course, but still). Tell me, you can “touch” the numbers in the mathematics lesson? No?
But Stop – you stop me, – because in the dopet, I cannot touch my Persian.
-But interactivity is not tied to banal contact (although https://piratespinscasino.net/ I said this and showed this a little higher), interactivity is an opportunity to influence any action (remember the game in a soldier with a brother or another, you literally create your own story, events and affect them; playing chess, you directly affect the party’s outcome).
What are the useful games?
Okay, let’s leave these abstruse discussions about what is the game as an object of activity, and talk about what it can give you, any, not only computer, but also desktop/sports … (Oh, you believed that I would talk about something except computer games? Wow!)
As I said, this process is extremely fruitful, t.To. Gives new knowledge and sensations ..
I note, for those who like to insert their caustic remarks, yes, knowledge are also harmful, but I will not talk about this, at least now, within the framework of this article.
What knowledge of computer games bring? Naturally, the answer does not lie on the surface, t.To. You can give an example of doom or quake, it seems, as if you are not even in some places, and then what knowledge you can talk about, citing these projects as an example ..
Let’s go about everything in order:
Games bring mental satisfaction:
Whoever says, but these projects help to enjoy, when playing them, not all, unfortunately. But in many I want, for example, just to stay on the menu and enjoy musical accompaniment. And from the visual of one or another game you cannot recover for a long time.
Games teach:
In general, you can find many examples of projects that not only teach, but also make the player think, reason.
Trite, remember the game “Gather a couple”, it teaches not only to correlate objects and their similarities, but also to remember their whereabouts, order, etc.D.
Many platformers, and not only platformers, but it happens, and ordinary shooters will include riddles and tasks that require spatial thinking, finding extraordinary paths and solutions, thereby developing logic.
Games develop:
Yes, I just wrote about the fact that games develop logic and t.D., but rather they teach this, t.To. Initially, no one without proper exposure can even say that similar objects are similar. But what exactly they develop?
1. Reaction. Everyone has it, but someone can be slow. Then games can help react faster to what is happening.
2. Assessment of the situation. Without jokes, strategic, and even action games slowly accustom to the fact that you should evaluate all kinds of options and choose the best outcomes of the situation quickly, stimulating it for an extra second for additional action (frag/restoration/salvation of an ally)
3. The sociability of a person. Yes, now all online games are built on the interaction of players, and not only as opponents, but also as allies, and this, in turn, pushes players to interactions, communication (by the way, thanks to games, many asocial personalities get the opportunity to take some niche in society or find like-minded people) and creating a team strategy).
4. Strategic thinking. Oh yes, someone will say that this is not so, but most of the games are built on the fact that you should think through your actions in the next 5-10 minutes, or even hours in advance, calculate what can serve as a result of them, and again evaluate all this
Games save the psyche …: In general, the arguments about this fact are quite controversial and dangerous (therefore, I put this postulate in the very ass of the article and crossed out, sorry, t.To. I don’t know how they relate to this topic), but you must agree,
Sometimes, you just need to go in, play about 5 minutes and your tension will subside. We can say that games help get rid of negative or excessive emotions, you spill them out or transform them into any actions in this very game.
Result
Well, the result, I think, everyone will fail for himself, t.To. Someone knew all the above, someone knew nothing, but I hope that this article was useful for everyone.
