Play’s Republic

you know those moments when everything comes together - well mine came a bit late.  This whole semester I have argued in favor of the structurlist argument and intent, not really sure what to make of the “game design” impacts interaction discussion until I looked back at the many ways in which I changed my original SL exhibition due to technical glitches, lack of time and experience - and it dawned on me.  What I produced - is a direct result of my interaction with the game engine and technology itself not the overall intention that I had.  It turned out in ways that I never expected when I started out - and I finally realized what Juul meant when he talked about emergence.
