The Guerrilla Guide to Game Code

I knew MVC was the shizzle. Jorrit Rouwé has an article at Gamasutra about the implementation of Shellshock: Nam ‘67 using a Model-View-Controller framework.

Model-View-Controller

I have a couple of papers in my references collection to do with using the Model-View-Controller paradigm to design videogames, but I haven't mentioned them previously, which might be an idea seeing as they're relevant to my thesis:

• Design Patterns for Games by Nguyen and Wong
• Towards a Definition of a Computer Game by Smed and Hakonen

The Art of Computer Game Design

I've added a section to my disseration draft about Chris Crawford's book, The Art of Computer Game Design, along with sections for the recent posts to do with the State of the Art. Needs a lot of work -- I'm not happy with the structure. Also some new stuff in the Introduction and Thesis chapters. Should hopefully definitely finish soon.
