Category for '''toys''' and '''demos''', [Tk] programs that ''just do things.'' ---- Anyone want to define the difference between a toy and a game? [LV] thinks of the difference being that a toy is a visual or executing bit of code that does something cute, but which is not intended to provide any ''re-play'' value; the user doesn't interact according to a set of rules to accomplish a goal, with a chance of not achieving that goal. In LV's mind, a game is a bit of code that does something cute, with the intent being that the user interacts according to a set of rules to accomplish some goal, with a chance of not achieving that goal. Other opinions? [wdb] I propose this difference: a game makes the '''user''' play, a toy makes the '''programmer''' play. ---- To get a list of all pages in this category, click on the category name at the top of this page.
