02 Nov gamification

Mary Poppins suggested that in every job that must be done, there is an element of fun – you find the fun and snap, the job’s a game. That advice and a spoonful of sugar might not buy you a cup of coffee, but I’m game to try it out.

My definition for gamification of software is to add challenges, levels and rewards to any automated task and you’re well on your way to making it fun.
