Summary
During the course of this chapter we introduced some basic theory behind interface
design with
The Theory of Affordances
by Gibson and the topic
The Design of Every-
day Things
by Norman.
Then we moved to the specific aspects of videogame interface design, describing the
diegesis theory and listing some fundamental problems related to the creation of op-
timal interfaces for videogames.
In the last part of the chapter, we suggested some of the best practices for videogame
interface design and mentioned a few options that no game should lack.
In the following chapter we will discuss game engines, their features, and how to take
full advantage of their potential.
