@estelle interesting. I will give that a try. One of the ways my cities fall apart in this game is I end up with a well educated general population and then don't have enough uneducated workers. If I build a transit accessible library instead of a college, will that result in fewer highly educated workers?

@abetterjulie I guess it's supposed to evoke the idea that it would write as smoothly as their fountain pen ink (called quink since quite a long time)?
of course it's all lies.

@aeva you can get more educated workers before the appropriate unlock by exploiting libraries accessible by mass transit,

Why Games Work, and How to Build Them
Most humans like games. But what are games, exactly? Not in a philosophical sense, but in the sense of âwhat exactly are their worky bits, so we know how to make them?â [Raph Koster] aims to answer that in a thoughtful blog post that talks all about game design from the perspective of what, exactly, makes them tick. And we are right into that, because we like to see things pulled apart to learn how they work.
On the one hand, itâs really not that complicated. Whatâs a game? Itâs fun to play, and we generally feel we know a good one when we see it. But as with many apparently simple things, it starts to get tricky to nail down specifics. Thatâs what [Raph]âs article focuses on; itâs a twelve-step framework for how games work, and why they do (or donât) succeed at what they set out to do.
[Raph] says the essentials of an engaging game boil down to giving players interesting problems to solve, providing meaningful and timely feedback, and understanding player motivation. The tricky part is that these arenât really separate elements. Everything ties together in a complex interplay, and [Raph] provides insights into how to design and manage it.
Itâs interesting food for thought on a subject that is, at the very least, hacker-adjacent. After all, many engaging convention activities boil down to being games of some kind, and folks wouldnât be implementing DOOM on something like KiCADâs PCB editor or creating first-person 3D games for the Commodore PET without being in possession of a healthy sense of playfulness.
