There are enough Dutch swear words and there are enough Dutch people here, so I'll leave it to them to post nasty words here. On a side note: the English word 'fuck' when heard by a Dutchman's, sounds a lot like our word 'vak', meaning a case or enclosed space, as if it were pronounced by...

I think i let the researching slide for a while and get some experience in a job. The scientific world is not entirely my thing, but I might return if I can't expand my knowledge with a job. Still, thanks for taking interest!

Hi there again, escapees! So a couple of months ago I asked you to help me with my research on educational games / gamifying education. It went great. I got a nice grade for my thesis and my research won an award at a conference. Original topic is here...

You can if you wrote your own witty, funny songs that make people happy. I did and now everyone wants me to sing them, even if there is no guitar around... Does a-capella count as playing guitar in public if you wrote the song on a guitar?

To answer this, I need to go REALLY deep and nitpicky. First of all, the word "environment" can mean several things. I don't have dictionary right now, but the difference between the prison and a game is that the prison terms of 'environment' is a perked part of our real world while the game's...

Mate, please don't cancel your steam. The current TOS is more lenient than the previous one and is more clear on proper codes of conduct, should an issue arise. It even has clauses in which it says you can sue them, although not in a direct wording. They are giving you a better deal than you...

As you might notice, you've mostly answered your own question. The environment is a game, because it is a controlled environment with rules. The elements are not just boxes and lines, they've become items with meaning to the program. Also, there is a giant back-end the user does not get to see...

Thanks for participating. The response is big enough here. Even if the amount of applicants stays under 5, I will post a non-scientist friendly version of the research here. I mostly see people getting interested but losing interest before they get to the post-game survey. The number was just...

We love you all the same and you made is laugh, so the end result is the same, write? It's a shame sarcasm and the like is not so clear in a forum, since you can't use intonation. Go play my game, it's good for you! :D

Thanks for the Error report Glad I could help. Could you elaborate about what you mean by 'language barrier'? I'm pretty sure everything is in English, but I might have left some Dutch in it.

It might be because the .zip contains a .exe file. The .exe is the game, there is not much I can do about it. If your virus scan starts beeping, let me know.

I'm glad we share a common viewpoint, but ehmm... Did you mean "read and write correctly"? If so (or not), go play my game. It's educational. ;) :D

Can you copy/paste the error you got when it did? Also, which puzzle was it in. Another also: Regardless of how the game ended, could you fill in the post-game survey?

Thanks! I fixed it. Also thanks in advance on taking the survey, obviously.

Dear Escapees, In the past couple of months I've done research on educational games and how best to implement them. For this research we reached for the skies, trying to find out if you can teach any subject to a mildly interested group. Since you people all have a strong opinion on games and...
