Audience 1: Gamers
How many people play games? The numbers are growing everyday, but the knowledge about how games are designed and created is still scarce. For these people, this paper is meant as an introductory into the mind and workings of designing a game. Games are enjoyed by lots of people and so should the creation of games.
In a way, games are complex systems. But at the same time, they are also logical and coherent. Most people own a car, but most people don’t really understand them because the car is a complex system and could be seen as too complicated to understand. Likewise, many people play games, but few understand how they work.
Going from start to finish will show this audience exactly what goes into the process.


Audience 2: Sixth College Students

For most colleges, an article about game design and development would make no sense, but Sixth college is unique in that it requires all students to become “fluent” in technology. While the required course to fulfill this requirement is far short of demanding, it does give every student going through the college an idea of what code looks like and how programs are structure.

For these students, this paper is meant to show a side of programming and computer science that is often overlooked in the introductory courses. These courses are designed instill basic knowledge about too much into students. In doing this, the courses also often overlook the more enjoyable part of programming which is the fruition of concepts.
