I don't write games, but I think that adding gamification features to an application is just as fun, if not more fun than some games out there. We SHOULD make our business apps fun to use, and allows the users to be a little competitive in the things the business feels are important. The gamificiation should encourage those behaviors that the business wants.

Back in highschool I wrote a Tetris clone as the final project for my 2nd year programming class (Yay 16bit points and MS DOS!) and created a partial engine for a top-scrolling space shooter: I had a user flyable ship and one form of gun fire (I wanted at least a half dozen upgrades) and collision between the ship/shots and the scrolling terrain. I ran into technical problems (related to having gaping hopes in my entirely self taught OO understanding) and shelved it before getting any enemies into the system though.
My professional career has been nothing but the sort of line of business app that though almost never exciting keeps the bills paid.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Ditto - except maybe 30 years ago  . Writing games for Commodore Vic 20 and later C-64 in the early 80's is what got me into programming. Never coded anything commercial worthy, but had a ton of fun making some (really bad in hindsight) games using basic and 6502/6510 machine code / assembly.

Yeah, I suspect a lot of my old code would be cringe worthy now. My top scrolling engine died over trying to use function pointers to implement multiple types of moving object and storing them all in a single container instead of proper polymorphism. There's a copy of my old code sitting on my parents computer that I read off the 486s drive a year or two ago but never got around to copying to one of my drives to bring home (I couldn't do it on my computer due to lacking a pata connection). If I ever remember to retrieve the data, I suspect a few snippets will end up posted to weird and wonderful.

do you mean gaming like video games on the mobile devices and xbox, ps2 and Wii?
I checked the box "No" even though I have worked in development for gaming with respect to casinos. While I have never developed the games themselves I have worked on the systems which the support the gaming floor.

I checked "Yes" because I have developed games for Las Vegas-style casino gaming as well as for horseracing.

WTF "gaming apps"? Can't you say "games"?
|
|
|
|

Right - and then I'd get the complaints about "where's the board game option? Where's the crossword option? Where's the choose-your-own-adventure option?".

Well, most people would say "computer games" then.

It is one of the immutable laws of the universe that no matter what you write someone will complain about it.
IMO, "gaming applications" is a good general term.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Same here. I was talked into beta testing the 5th major release of TOAW[^] (yes I know it says III; it's complicated) when Matrix Games acquired the property and invited a number of prominent members of the online community to test their initial release.
Matrix made out like a bandit on the initial update. They hired a programmer who was a fan of the game on a fixed price contract to fix a few priority bugs and swap DRM systems; but he kept going fixing lesser issues, making it harder to get away with replaying the same cheating in PBEM games, making the AI significantly less stupid (if the scenario designer set things up for it), and getting an order of magnitude speedup out of the slowest part of turn processing. Near the end of the cycle he admitted to having done so much work his effective hourly rate had fallen below minimum wage. All the fixes and updates were a great boon to the community; but I was so burned out that nearly 7 years later I've been unable to go back to the game.

I have always thought that working as a software developer in general was like getting paid to play.
I am always amazed that they pay me to do what I do.

I wrote a program in VB6 once... 
It was about a power cucumber which had to reach the right side of the screen without colliding with some knives...
It was terrible, ugly as hell and enough to pass the test on programming... I still feel myself dirty...
|
|
|
|

Haha. Wrote something in that direction too (also with vb6)
it was some sort of snake, but just a ball which didn't get bigger 
1 Forms timer, lots of repeated code, and collision detection was a complete failure (sometimes you were able to "jump" through walls)... ah good memories. one of my very first applications I every wrote

I used to write games in COBOL and Fortran on TI-990s and Prime minis - but that's about it.

I coded up a couple of cute bits on a Wang wordprocessor once, does that count - old farts unite!!!
