Author Topic: So I was reading about Blockland on WikiPedia.  (Read 1047 times)

In your face stereotypical gaming haters who claim gaming melts your brain...

Then again, I don't see how Blockland can get anyone any qualifications related to engineering or architecture.
Reason:
You can make bricks invisible, floating and even placed on the bottom of another brick without any visible connection except textured tops and bottoms.


That's due to the fact that it's still a computer game, first and foremost.
You can still easily use the game to practice architectural design. It's okay for the creative side of Architecture, but, it doesn't teach things such as the physics about architecture, seeing as how an entire 3 story building could technically be held up by a single rod. That said, it's a game, so, it's not made to be realistic.

The creativeness that works towards architecture and design, is more a by-product of the game, rather than a majorly intended aspect of it.
It's similar to how playing with Lego isn't designed to helpy you in your creativity of things like architecture, but it does so anyway, while it's actually developed to be a construction set you can play with.
