A game, expecially an ADDITIVE game as you describe, might be more effective. Unfortunately I have no idea what type of game would be good for this. The only thing I can think about is to add a lojbanic flavour to those well known games like pacman (imagine having a sentence split around the screen and you have to eat the pieces in the correct order) or frogger (you can jump only on leaf and trunks that are tagged in a certain way) and so on. A Doom-like game would also be nice. You kill monsters and collect lojban words that you have to combine to get the blu/red/yellow keys for the doors. RPG games would be great but that seems a major effort to me. I guess the game will have to be well balanced. Too easy and people will get bored of playing, to hard and people will be more focused on the game than on learning. remod -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
