Could Fitts Law be used to measure difficulty in platform genre games? Interesting idea to measure jump-by-jump difficulty; it'd have to be a very simple game or a very rough metric to work as expected though, a lot more tends to factor into games than distance and target size. Fitt's law also doesn't take into account gravity; higher platforms are much harder to reach, or may be impossible to reach, I think a modification would be needed. |

What's being challenged in our mind when playing games? There are a lot of mental limits that exist and many that are challenged in games (often intentionally). Could you focus on some more specific aspect you've focused on or done some research into to ask a deeper, narrower question? As is this is too broad to answer. There are issues varying from working/short term memory to concentration to reaction time and more. |

Is Golden Ratio's association with perceived beauty a myth? Er, that's a pretty abusive example don't you think? David looks like a freak in the non-golden ratio versions. Not because the lack of Golden Ratio, but because of the inhuman proportions |
