Is there a “wrong” way to solve a puzzle? And if there is, and that way still gets the job done, is it really wrong? Today on Psych of Play, we're diving into divergent thinking, puzzle design, and creativity. Oh and we might talk about Minecraft at some point.

Hey guys! Be sure to go watch some anime on me, signing up really helps the channel as well :)

What I love about Breath of the Wild is that the developers didn’t meddle with the game. They gave a consistent physics engine that doesn’t suddenly not work when the developers feel like it.

"Problem Solving vs Puzzle Solving" is a great topic. The freedom of choice offers so much, and then there's the paralysis.

I like to call it "intended" solution as opposed to "correct".

This is reminds me of part of the reason I quit my English major - so many of my English teachers had a "correct" interpretation of a text that when I offered a different one they would discount my idea. I would get so angry at them, it is also very common in the art world. I am all for finding meaning in a work- but that is only its meaning to you. Like the color white - in the western world it is the color of purity, and innocence but in the eastern world it is the color of death and mourning, so the meaning you find depends on who you are.

I'd totally would watch Daryl talks anime. Granted I'm also out here to war on the education system myself

This is why d&d and trpg's as a whole are so important. It's one of the only mediums that is flexible enough to allow and REWARD divergent thinking.

Personally, I hate it when games give only a single or two solutions to problems. I feel like I'm being restricted to a set action like I'm trapped in North Korea and if I say anything bad about Kim Jong Un, I'll be disappeared.

Why is he asking whether we would rather be correct or creative, I've never been either

in a math class, i solved a question different to the way it was intended. when my math teacher saw this she didnt say it was wrong and was actually impressed on my aproach to the question

So the secret to being a creative genius is to drop out of school during kindergarten?

This was fascinating. I've always lamented that my creativity has gotten worse and worse as I've gotten older. One particularly standout memory from when I was in high school is when my entire neighborhood was without power for two weeks thanks to a hurricane. My friend and I decided to bust out the ol' tub of legos that had been shelved for years but it only took about 2 minutes for the both of us to realize that we had become "too old" for legos. Not in a "toys are for children" kind of way but in that our brains just... couldn't come up with what to do with them. It was a heartbreaking realization and I still consider that the day a part of my childhood disappeared.

When you asked: "Is this cheating?" - I was just sitting here, grinning, not even trying to answer the question. As a speedrunner, you get to see people who throw the word "cheating" around a lot. But after a bit of thinking, I'd like to answer that question as follows:

I feel this why people play Animal Crossing so differently.

@NoahNCopeland 4 жыл бұрын

Cool stuff. I'd say in the example of Botw, if cheating is based on the dev's intention, I'd say it's not cheating. The devs of Botw have stated they intentionally did not discourage out-of-the box solutions, so there's that. Doesn't take away from the larger conversation/point of this video, though
