Will Starfighter be focusing mostly on security? That seems to be most of the examples that I find, and it's not a field I'm terribly interested in. I love the idea though, and would like to see it applied to other areas.
- tptacek 12y agoSecurity is the through-line of the game; it gives us structure, incentives, little dopamine hits, and makes it so that the systems we're building reward exploration. But the game is not about security; it's about programming and interacting with complex systems. If you're a software developer with no security domain expertise, one benefit of goofing around with Starfighter is that you'll come out knowing a lot more about software security. But it's not a tool for getting people security jobs. It'll make a little more sense when Erin posts the game details.
- tomjen3 12y agoYes please, post the details.
