MDA: A Formal Approach to Game Design and Game Research ## Anotacions [[Hunicke2004]] > "MDA is a formal approach to understanding games ñ one which attempts to bridge the gap between game design and development, game criticism, and technical game research" ([Hunicke et al :5](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/KC9GC562?page=1)) > "Mechanics describes the particular components of the game, at the level of data representation and algorithms. Dynamics describes the run-time behavior of the mechanics acting on player inputs and each othersí outputs over time. Aesthetics describes the desirable emotional responses evoked in the player, when she interacts with the game system."

([note on p.6](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/KC9GC562?page=2))_ > "From the designerís perspective, the mechanics give rise to dynamic system behavior, which in turn leads to particular aesthetic experiences. From the playerís perspective, aesthetics set the tone, which is born out in observable dynamics and eventually, operable mechanics."
