Salotti_2001 MARSBASE, AN EDUCATIONAL SIMULATION GAME
نویسنده
چکیده
An educational game simulating the first developments of a Martian base is presented. The user faces a satellite image of Mars and commands the astronauts. They can walk on the surface, drive a rover, extract ores, transform hydrogen and carbon dioxide in propellant, build a greenhouse, do farming, and so on. A user-friendly interface has been developed. The simulation looks like other well-known simulation games, as for example Age of Empires or Simcity. In its current version, the game is playable but only a few scenarios are available.

متن کاملThe Simulation-Game Controversy: What is a Ludic Simulation?
Games use the same base technology and design strategy as do simulations, but add a few items to the mixture. Understanding this gives 'new' (read borrowed) tools for game creation and testing. The idea that simulations are implementations of a model, for instance, leads to a focus on the model rather than the code when designing a game. Similarly, the verification/validation pair used in simul...
