Understanding Games - Part 3
Part 3 of understanding games is up, and it's better than the first 2. The game you play really is a nice example of the trial-and-error system exploration.
I'm disappointed that this is only a 4-part project.
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Robert A. Heinlein

Via Raph comes this awesome pointer to a couple Kongregate titles.
Just as Understanding Comics is to comics, Understanding Games is (attempting to be) to games. An interactive game that explains the fundamentals of the medium. Brilliant. Andreas Zecher is the creator.
Part 1
Part 2
It's ambitious, but he's starting simple and I applaud the effort.
