How the Science of Swarms Can Help Us Fight Cancer and Predict the Future
“Thanks to new observation technologies, powerful software, and statistical methods, the mechanics of collectives are being revealed. Indeed, enough physicists, biologists, and engineers have gotten involved that the science itself seems to be hitting a density-dependent shift.”
Jon Blow on 'The Truth in Game Design
“More ideas came out of the development process and ended up in Braid than what was put into it, says Blow. By leaving it up to the system of the game to answer the questions behind Braid, starting with what happens when the player can reverse time, he was able to observe what interesting things could happen rather than force predetermined things to happen.”
Glitches Turn Video Games Into Sublime Art
Most people throw their controllers when a glitch ruins a perfectly good game of Half Life or Grand Theft Auto. Robert Overweg loves it; he turns it into art.
Visualizing Game Dynamics and Emergent Gameplay
There is beauty in games. For some the beauty of games is directly related to dazzling visuals or emotional immersion. Personally, I am fascinated by the rich gameplay so many games offer using only a handful of rules. The age-long tradition of Go is testimony to power and beauty of this richness. Every session of play becomes a performance; a ritualized dance that is focused and confined by the game's rules and premise, but which is never the same twice. Mine is an aesthetic appreciation of the freedom and possibilities set up within the logical game space within the magic circle of the game [...].

Machinations is a conceptual framework and diagram tool that focusses on structural qualities of game mechanics. The tool you find below is an interactive tool to draw and run Machinations diagrams.
The engineering and design of self-organizing systems with emergent properties is a long-standing problem in the field of complex and distributed systems, for example in the engineering of self-organizing Multi-Agent Systems. The problem of combining engineering with emergence - to find a simple rule for a complex pattern - equals the problem of science in general. Therefore the answers are similar, and the scientific method is the general solution to the problem of engineering complex systems.
This thesis investigates an emergent approach to designing game worlds, as well as the issues, considerations, and implications for game players and developers.
