PROTOTYPING

Introduction

• Tool: TIC 80 /// Open source - Fantasy console /// [1]
• TIC-80 is a tiny computer which you can use to make, play, and share tiny games. Built-in development tools include code, sprite, map and sound editors which along with the command line tools, provide everything you need to create a mini retro game. Once your game is finished you can export it to a cartridge file, which can be stored and uploaded to the TIC-80 website. Alternatively, it can be packed into a stand-alone player that works on all popular platforms and can be distributed as you wish. To make a retro styled game, the whole process of creation takes place under some technical limitations: 240x136 pixels display, a 16 color palette, 256 8x8 color sprites, 4 channel sound, etc.

GAME AS A CONVERSATION: Games are objects we can think with, and also they could be seen as interfaces between people. Conversations using clash, dance, computation, storytelling, text, movement, action, solitude. What are the qualities of a conversation? When this conversation stops being a representation and starts being a reality? The key point is: But Conversations that cannot be measured and are full of conflicts and failures.

From Man, play and Games: Caillois quoting Huizinga talking about playing "It promotes the formation of social group­ings which tend to surround themselves with secrecy and to stress their difference from the common world by disguise or other means." On gambling: "Property is exchanged, but no goods are produced" This fine line between being a player and a worker. when it comes to professionals players they aren't anymore players they are workers. Play only happens when the player has the desire to play on her own will. Playing is an option. Playing is isolated from time and space. Play involves agreements A game happens inside a pure space in which the confused and intricate laws of ordinary life are replaced.

Game enemies: Nihilist who denounces the rules as absurd and conventional, who refuses to play because the game is meaningless.
