I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT/ PANIMULANG KONSEPTO

Technology has literally taken over every aspects of life in the 21 st century, and
the creative and visual arts have not been spared. In fact, for the younger generations,
art as you know it is defined by technology----from its creation, to its manipulation, to its
reproduction and even its distribution.

II. LEARNING SKILLS FROM MELCs/ KASANAYANG PAMPAGKATUTO MULA SA

MELCs
1. Explain the influence of technology in the 21 st Century in the evolution of various
forms of art;
2. Apply different media techniques and processes to communicate ideas;
3. Evaluate work of art in terms of artistic concepts and ideas using criteria
appropriate for the style or form.

A. Let Us Review/ Pagbalik-aralan Mo.
In the previous lesson we discussed about the elements of arts as applied to
the Technology-based art, the distinct characteristics of arts in the 21 st
century, foreign adaptations of Filipino and Mobile Phone art / Computer
Generated images. Let us proceed with Video Games.

B. Let Us Study/ Pag-aralan Mo.

Video Games Defined

Video Games are played by electronically manipulating images produced by a
computer program on a television or display screen. It is a major component of
entertainment. These range from educational games and mind twisters, to building and
construction games and to physical interaction by the users (sports, fitness, dance).
There are also popular games of strategy, war, science fiction, and mythical words that
employ amazingly complex and realistic graphics, motion, sound, and other special
effects.

Video games have been a

part of children’s life for the past
few decades. One of the most
positive effects of video games is
increasing the dexterity of a child
1
and improving his or her hand-eye
coordination.

few. The choice
of what to include
should be
deliberate. With learning games, you should consider how each element supports the
learning process. There are many game elements you can include; this graphic shows
12 common ones:

BY PLATFORM:

It is the nature of hardware where the video game is played. Video games can be
played through your mobile phones, or your desktop or it can be both if you have the
availability of both devices. With this, the first video game element is incorporated to this

1. Conflict

For a game to be interesting, there needs to be some sort of conflict. Conflict comes
in many forms, but it always represents a challenge for the player to overcome. The
challenge could be physical obstacles, it could be combat with another player, or it
could be a puzzle that has to be solved. Conflict emerges through procedures and rules
in the game that prevent a player from achieving their goal. Objectives often guide
players to these conflict situations. Conflict emerges when objectives guide players
toward rules and procedures that work against the player goal.

Three types of conflict common in games:

1. Obstacles. These can be in physical or mental form. Physical obstacles

could be the length of your Pinball flippers or the bumpers that the ball
bounces off of. Mental obstacles can be a missing item to complete a riddle in

2
 an adventure game or the challenge of calculating the right numbers in
Sudoku.
2. Opponents. Other players in a game or computer-controlled enemies.
3. Dilemmas. These are problematic choices that a player is faced with. It’s a
strategic decision, where the consequences have to be weighted before
proceeding.

4. Cooperation and/or competition

With learning games, cooperation is often a better element to use than

competition alone. Direct competition with other players can demotivate learners or set
up a negative dynamic. In contrast,

cooperation between players to overcome a

game challenge can often motivate players and foster teamwork. Cooperation gets
people working together; competition pits people against one another. Only one person
or team wins—while everyone else loses. The players’ focus is very different depending
on which element you employ or how you combine the two elements together.
Competition can be appropriate, but you need to consider the outcomes it can produce.
BY MODE:
Usually refers to variations of players. In a game, before you play there are options to
choose either you can play it as a single player, in dual or two players and in multiple
players or by four.
1. Players
Game design calls for players to interact with one another and the game system.
Players are voluntary, active participants in the entertainment activity. They partake they
consume and are invested in it. They can be potential winners of the activity. The
number of players can be variable or fixed for a game. Players will have different
experiences based on the amount of other players partaking in a game. Different
players can adopt different roles during play. Players can play in teams and define
actions for team members. Within role playing games, a player’s role can facilitate or
inhibit a player action, but often players have different play styles, which allows for
different matches even when players play the same role.

3
 2. Strategy and Chance

Strategy puts control into the player’s realm in the form of decisions they can make
that affect gameplay or their odds of achieving the goal. On the other hand, games that
are heavily based on chance put the player in a highly reactive mode, one where they
have little control over the outcome.
A game can have neither strategy nor chance, it can combine both, or it can only
focus on one. Gambling games are largely games of chance. Games with little or no
strategy or chance can be less interesting to play than those that use these elements.
BY NARRATIVE:
It is associated by what genre or type the game is but at the same time is the objectives
of the game as well as the rules.
1. Objectives.

Objectives are important for the motivation of your players to engage in gameplay.
The best game goals seem attainable but are still perceived as challenging. You want to
be able to work as hard as necessary to achieve your own objectives as a player in a
game. The player’s need to complete objectives serves as a measure of player
involvement in games. Below is a list of the following objective types in more detail:
 Capture. Players have to avoid getting captured or killed while destroying some
opponent properties (commonly some form of terrain or units).
 Chase. Players have to elude or catch an opponent.
 Race. Players have to reach a goal before anyone else does.
 Alignment. Players have to align their pieces in a spatial or conceptual
configuration.
 Rescue or Escape. Players have to get some defined units or items to safety
without being compromised.
 Forbidden Act. Players have to get the opponents to break the rules or to
abandon a strategy.
 Construction. Players have to construct, maintain, or manage game objects.
 Exploration. Players have to explore unknown game areas.
 Solution. Players have to solve a problem or puzzle (sometimes before the
opponents solve it).
 Outwit. Players have to gain and use knowledge to outwit their opponents.

2. Procedures.

Player actions as specified by procedures can be split up into the following:

4
 1. Starting (How the game is put into play, also leading into on boarding of
players)
2. Progression (These are the ongoing procedures running during gameplay)
3. Special (These are actions that are only available based on other elements
and changes to the game state)
4. Resolving (These actions bring your game to an end)

Below are some of the applications used for video gaming:

1. Twine – is a free open-source tool created by
Chris Kilmas for making interactive fiction in the
form of web pages/ It is available on Mac OS X,
Windows and Linux

2. GameMaker - emphasizes the visual

structure of hypertext, and does not require
knowledge of programming language as
many other game development tools do.

3. Stencyl – is a video game development tool that

allows users to create 2D video games for
computers, mobile devices, and the web.

What is a Joystick?
The name "joystick" is thought to originate with early 20th century French pilot
Robert Esnault-Pelterie. He is alleged to have invented the “George Stick” which
became more popularly known as the joystick. A joystick is an input device consisting of
a stick that pivots on a base and reports its angle or direction to the device it is
controlling. Joysticks are often used to control video games, and usually have one or
more push-buttons whose state can also be read by the computer. The joystick is
probably the most essential devices that gamers encounter in the video game parlor.
How does a joystick work?

 It translates the movement of your hand into a digital format and sends it to the
PC software for interpretation to perform the necessary action.

Parts of the Joystick

JOYSTICK COMPONENTS:
1. Pivot – the area in which the shaft swivels. A part surrounding the shaft is
usually placed her to assist in this; it comes in shapes like cylinders and half-
spheres set in a plate that is contoured for smooth movement.
2. Spring – the mechanism most joysticks use for automatically resetting the shaft
to neutral. Some joysticks use magnets for this. Thicker and/or larger springs
make the reset stronger and movements more affected. A part is often added to
secure the spring below the pivot.
3. Actuator – gives the bottom of the shaft more area and precision in pressing the
switches. It refer to a shaped enhancement surrounding the bottom of the shaft
or the levers on levered micro switches.
4. E-ring (also called E-clip) – is a small, flat, curved plate of metal shaped like the
letter “E”, it is a type of retaining ring(also called a circlip or snap ring) which is a
type of fastener. It attaches to the bottom of the shaft, aligning and securing the
parts along it.
5. Mounting Plate – the plate of the joystick attached directly and securely to the
control panel. This and dust washer are the only two parts of the joystick that
need to touch the control panel.
6. Guide/Dust washer/Disk/Cover – specifically shaped hole, like a square or
circle, that determines physically where the joystick can be moved. It is generally
attached on the bottom of the joystick, restricting the bottom of the shaft.
7. Wire Harness/Microswitch – some joysticks have the microswitches attached to
the PCB into which a wire harness (wires aligned along a plug) is inserted

6
 instead of having to wire each of the microswitches around the bottom of the
joystick.
8. Handle/Top – the held part at the top of the stick which usually comes in 2
shapes: a ball top or tear drop/bat top
9. Shaft/Stick – give users more control over their mobility with a joystick handle
designed to meet their needs.
10. Restrictor Gate – is a plate with a specifically shaped hole, like a square or
circle, that determines physically where the joystick can be moved. It is generally
attached on the bottom of the joystick.
In the Modern Era, there is also what we call a Nintendo Switch. 21 st century
learners use Nintendo switch in a highly
advanced gaming system.
Nintendo Switch
It is a hybrid console that can be used as
a home console and portable device. Its
wireless Joy-Con controllers, with standard
buttons and directional analogue sticks for user
input, motion sensing, and tactile feedback, can attach
to both sides of the console to support handheld-style
play. They can also connect to a grip accessory to
provide a traditional home console gamepad form, or be
used individually in the hand supporting local multiplayer
modes.
The Nintendo Switch's software supports online gaming through Internet
connectivity, as well as local wireless ad hoc connectivity with other consoles. Nintendo
Switch games and software are available on both physical flash-based ROM
cartridges and digital distribution via Nintendo eShop; the system has no region lockout.
