Recovery of Mobile Game Design Patterns: Maria Khan and Ghulam Rasool.

Game design patterns are being introduced to solve the problems for the development of computer games. The formal and informal instructions of game design patterns exist because of differences in implementation, design patterns and programming languages. The improvement of mobile game patterns is helpful for comprehension, reverse engineering, maintenance, evolution and refactoring of software applications. Mobile devices have decreased system resources such as battery size or screen size. In mobile devices, the keypad is used as a gaming manager and Android devices have touchscreens for user participation. The latest trend is mobile games is augmented reality. It has also been reported that playing mobile games increases the ability to memorize and decision making. Modern mobile games require fast central processing units, large random access memory, high-resolution screens and good graphics processing units. Researchers have discovered more than 300 patterns in traditional games and computer games.

Game Design Research: An Overview: Petri Lankoski and Jussi Holopainen

One theory about what makes a good game is using design approaches that are driven by what is normal to the player. Since players become the characters they play, game designers should limit themselves to a single person point of view, this means that the layer should never be shown or told something that they have not experienced directly. The norms for a game made for children will be different from the norms of a game that's designed for adults. Changing the norms of good games changes the set of design recommendations. The norms for a game made for children will be different from the norms of a game that's designed for adults.

My Introduction

A Little About Me My name is Karolina and I'm 21 years old, I come from Poland but I lived in Ireland for the past 13 years, I'm excited to continue my journey in the Creative Digital Media Course. My favourite class last semester was web dev elopme nt as it was well organized and I found it the most interesting but also challenging, I feel that I have learned the most from that module compared to other modules. My biggest accomplishment last semester was making my own website from scratch, as it made me realize how much I have learned in just one year.  My goal for this module is to gain a better understanding of basic game design and to create my own game. During the summer holidays, I visited many places in Ireland such as Wicklow, Meath and Athlone. My favourite books are the Harry Potter series. Here is a photo of my cat when he was still a kitten, his name is Pepe:

 My Game Ideas 1. Maze/ Labyrinth Game: I started off my brainstorm for game ideas by researching online and watching a few tutorials on youtube, I tried to find the most simple 3D games for beginners, I came across a tutorial for a 3D maze game and I thought it would be simple enough to do.  Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLa8nPphL2gf1luu9Ux5aWj-8C11F8aLVf&v=mHFNiS6lsss&feature=emb_logo&ab_channel=DennisG.Jerz I'm interested in making this game as the concept of the game is simple but has a nostalgic feeling, I picked this tutorial as it walks you through every step and is full of information. This is another version of a maze game but much simpler to make: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVXGgPCxvpY&ab_channel=Gamerbot4000 2. Endless Runner Game: The second game I'm interested in making is an endless runner game similar to subway surfers or temple run because they offer fast-paced action and are addicting to play. Here is t
