= = =Read over the information about games to get an overview of what a game is and then watch the tutorials near the middle of the page. Check out some more game resources listed at the end.=

Where do you begin when designing a game?
==The Design Process: Anything can inspire a game: life, TV, Movies, emotions can inspire a game. All these things can inspire the elements in a game. Explore a lot of options. If it can work on paper, it can probably work on screen. Copying from the classics is a great way to learn. Drawings help visualize game play scenarios-making paper prototypes. See the examples below:==
