Hello
This is a blog annotating my experience in ITEC 830 in the spring of 2009.

Hello
Nice mix of video, audio, grapics. You enhanced Curt's presentation "WE CAN LEARN", I can see you really enjoyed making this video.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great presentation. It was fun and funny. :)
ReplyDeleteI only have one little problem with Spore. It's such a fun game and I love it so much! It's a great tool for teaching evolution. But how do you explain the aspects of it that are Lamarckian (i.e., acquired somatic traits are heritable)?
Absolutely, that's been a huge criticism of spore by many biologists. I think a true to evolutionary theory game might actually be a bit boring in the spore universe. In the end you have to make a compromise between the gameplay world and the biological world to make the game "playable." One thing I like about spore vs the real world; In our world it's dog eat dog. You get ahead by devouring the competition both literally and metaphoriacally. In spore you can't just eat to move ahead....you have to befriend to be truly successful.
