A Computer Game is Business Software.
A Computer Game is a system provided for the solving of a problem and the filling of a need.
Okay. It’s pretty obvious, so I’m not trying to be clever with those statements. Simple and clear.
However, most Computer Games are as far from Business Software as you can get staring into this rectangular magic looking glass view .. thingy.
Business Software has an interface which is very close to the database. Sure, we move from exact data representation on a form to transforming the data into a better User experience .. Browses and Tabs and Drop Down Lists are just the beginning. You’ve got Task Panels and Drag’N'Drop. You’ve got twenty billion Google Engineers slaving away on ease of Business Interface.
But it’s still close to the Database. And that’s fine.
The Game Interface is about as far away from the database as we can manage today.
