Gamification should have some sort of reward, though typically arbitrary like "leveling up" or "gold". One could suppose that a filled progress bar could serve the same purpose.
- ekianjo 12y agoI'm not saying that progress bars are not part of Gamification, but this article makes it seem that Gamification is only about progress bars.
- Zikes 12y agoThere is no rigid definition of what features a process should have before it can be considered gamification. It's largely about the experience and driving engagement, largely using game theory and UI design. Checking off a bunch of boxes in order to see a progress bar increase certainly sounds like it fits, even given an unfairly simplified description such as that.
