2 LEVEL 1 Welcome, N00bs!
Playing hand ball may therefore seem like a time - waster, but a time - waster
becomes a game when you add rules and an objective. A rule may be to
throw the ball with your right hand and catch it with your left, or to not drop
the ball. A victory condition could be that you have to catch the ball ten
times in a row. A failure state would be if you violated any of the rules or
victory conditions. Once those criteria have been met, you have created a
game. Ironically, while simple, hand ball was enough of a game to inspire
the creators of one of the earliest video games: Tennis for Two.
