单词	ludology
释义	ludology /luːˈdɒlədʒi / noun [mass noun] The study of games and gaming, especially video games: ludology, like the games it studies, is not about story and discourse at all but about actions and events... The timeline begins in 4000 B.C. and goes up to 1999 - and includes a zillion swooping arrows showing how ludology developed. In video game circles, the big debate these days is about whether video games are driven by narrative or by play-style - narrativology vs. ludology. As story and game-play fold together, ludology can be seen as providing a set of comprehensible rules for dramatic interplay based on user choices. Derivatives ludologist noun ... The ludologists see this technique as anathematic to the gameplay experience; narratologists say it adds depth and direction. There is an ongoing battle between two videogame factions: the ludologists, who believe that game mechanics are everything, and the narratologists, who argue for the importance of story. Ludologists allegedly argue that games should be understood from the standpoint of "play" and narratologists allegedly argue that games should be studied for their narrative content. Origin 1960s: from Latin ludere 'to play' + -ology.
