<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nFor the activity in the lecture we got together into groups and made gameplay loop diagrams for a randomly assigned game. My group got given connect four. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is what we came up with, the other groups managed to guess the correct game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was a helpful exercise as gameplay loop diagrams are something that I struggle with. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
