Educating the gamer. : An analysis on how the “gamer” is taught the rules of a game efficiently to recognize patterns and become a better player.

Sammanfattning: In this thesis, the question of immersion and learning in tutorials is examined to find whether there are principles of design that can universally form a tutorial of a high quality according to several predetermined traits. A formal analysis of the tutorials for three specified games are conducted to identify the underlying principles of design that govern the structure for each individual tutorial. The resulting analyses are then compared to each other to reveal similarities between the tutorials so that the principles of design can be identified and examined. The findings point to no universal principles of design that will generate a tutorial of high quality, instead, the utilization of these principles is angled towards the specific needs of the game being developed.
