Lagoon/LagoonCraft

Many games are military simulations, including Lagoon which Dr. Louis presented on Thursday. They need to be designed to be realistic, so anyone interested in the results of the scenario can evaluate themselves or others. But they also need to be fun to play, in the case of Lagoon students can actually play Lagoon on their own time and improve on previous experiences.

Lagoon covers the serious games aspect well, it's both fun to play (at least initially) but it serves its purpose as an AI interface for instructors.

As I've worked with Lagoon/LagoonCraft before I knew its purpose and how it related to games. What I did learn was everyone's views on Lagoon from an art and journalism standpoint.
