Hackable Games

  • Project Name: Hackable Games
    • Mozilla invites you to push the limits of what gaming looks like on the web and to build hackable games; games that let their players remix, fork and share to their hearts' content.
  • Project goals:

    • 1)Re-imagine the Web as the (gaming) platform; and create the tools for games that like the web itself are hackable by design.
    2)Move from consumption to creation. Mozilla is asking you not only to play games but to start hacking them to make your own;
    3)Foster diversity in games for different audiences; that represent who players are and what they like.
    4)Use games to teach digital literacy and webmaking. Bake in coding skills as gamers make, remix and play.
    5)Invite the world to make their own amazing games on the web;
      • At the Mozilla Festival's Game Arcade; to play with new bleeding edge game technologies and meet people who love making and hacking games as much as you do.
      • At Mozilla's Game On ; a competition calling all developers, designers, youth and educators to build the next generation of web based games. Submissions open December 3rd 2012 and close February 20th. 2013. <link http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/gameon/ >

    • What do you plan to ship or announce at the Festival?


    • Hackable Games at the Game Arcade From cardboard arcades to cutting edge broswer gaming technologies, join us for a series of sessions showcasing the latest and most hackable game technologies. Re-imagine what is possible on the browser and to look at games as hackable; games that let their players remix, fork and share to their heart’s content.
      • What will you be doing at the Game Arcade? ***Play with new technologies that push the limits of the browser. *** Meet people who love making and hacking games as much as you do. *** Learn more about Mozilla's Game On Competition <link http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/gameon/ > *** And did we mention there will be tiny plastic turtles and a Werewolf Human API?

      QUOTES
      With Game On and Hackable Games we are hoping to both explore what gaming looks like on the web but also tie into many other projects that we are doing here at Mozilla; from FirefoxOS to Webmaker, we are asking you to re-imagine the Web as the platform;
    • to make; we are empowering people to move from consumption to creation. In specific not only play games but start making their own; Games that represent who players are and what they like.
    • to learn; use games to teach digital literacy and web making skills such as programming, design thinking and empathy.
    • to share; we are inviting the world to remix, make and share amazing games on the web.
