| | Computer and video games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In computer and video gaming, gameplay (sometimes called "Game mechanics") is a general term that describes player interaction with a game. |  | | Video game censorship is defined as the use of state or group power to control the playing, distribution, purchase, or sale of video games or computer games. |  | | Gamers are quite happy to use the vague term "games", or "videogame/video game" to distinguish them from board games and card games when necessary. |

| | Game Studies 0102: Cultural framing of computer/video games. By Kurt Squire |
 | | The study of games and learning might begin with qualitative study of game players and game playing communities. |  | | More recently, researchers such as Funk and colleagues (1996) have studied correlations between game players' characteristics and popular genres, but these broad statistical studies fail to open up the complex relationships behind game players and their games or acknowledge the social contexts in which game playing is situated. |  | | Specifically, how the game is contextualized, the kinds of cooperative and collaborative learning activities embedded in gameplay, and the quality and nature of debriefing are all critically important elements of the gaming experience. |

| | Gender and Computer/Video Games |
 | | As a result of the girl game movement, an increasing number of game designers and producers are women. |  | | Many of the key players in the girls' game movement have written dissertation or books exploring the idea of gender about gender and game design. |  | | They asserted that because the gaming industry defined games based largely on boys interest and play behaviors girls need their own games. |

| | MIT 2000 - Computer and Video Games Come of Age |
 | | Alternative game designers have always been around - the roots of modern computer gaming can be clearly traced back to the Apple II era and even earlier, when programming your own games in basic was de rigueur. |  | | If gaming is going to hit the mainstream they'll have little chance to stand on their previous successes - the pace of technology and the expanding markets make it a scramble to stay on the front edge of game design. |  | | Ted Friedman not only plays games, he writes about "Computer Games and Interactive Textuality." You can read some of his papers; they're like a strategy guide that explains how you the player might fit into the mental and social construct of games like Civilization and SimCity. |
