About arts Games and other diversionsElectricka and her muses offer a variety of different kinds of quizzes and puzzles, among them crosswords, cryptograms, jigsaws, and word search puzzles. Many of their quizzes and puzzles are based on features at Electricka's web site and the information they contain; all are of and about the arts. She also offers features about the world of quizzes and puzzles. For example:
explore the world of arts games and gamingInterest in games and the world of games has never been higher. In America, Japan, England, Western Europe, and elsewhere around the world billions of dollars and millions of man-hours are being spent by game makers and players on gaming pursuits. Traditional kinds of games such as board games and crossword puzzles continue to be played, as in the past; meanwhile, new automated games are being cranked out at unprecedented rates. These games employ some of the most sophisticated technology available to the public. Gross retail sales of mass market automated games now exceed that for home computers. But strangely, the muses play almost no role in this massive undertaking. Wouldn't you like to know more about this fascinating world and its connection with the arts? Wouldn't you like to see the arts have a greater presence in this fast-changing yet perennial world? Wouldn't you like to have a role in steering this world in the direction of the arts?
the arts games information clearinghouseElectricka believes there should be more art in games. To help bring this about, she has created The Arts Games Information Clearinghouse and designated it a focal point for the collection and dissemination of information about arts-related games and the world of arts games and gaming. The purpose of the Clearinghouse is to help create change favoring the arts in the world of arts games and gamers. Its goals are to:
Electricka urges everyone interested in playing games and the promoting the arts to join in.
Publish your original arts-related puzzle or quizElectricka hopes that everyone interested in games, from art devotees to neophytes, will create an original arts-related puzzle or quiz; she encourages them to submit their games for publication in these pages.
To encourage visitors to publish their original arts-related puzzles and quizzes, Electricka has declared the Arts Puzzles feature and the Arts Quizzes feature ByLine features. Electricka suggests that you explore the guidelines for these features now.
For more information about this and other ByLine features, visit the ByLine page at this web site:
prizes for gamesThe Muse explores prizes awarded for contributions to improving or expanding the field of game playing—for creating, conducting, fostering, adding to, promoting, or promulgating games or gaming, or for otherwise making the practice of game playing more useful, profitable, enjoyable, or valuable for others. These award winners did not receive their award for winning a game. They won for having improved the lot of game players or for changing for the better the way games are played.
