Have you ever made a resolution to acquire a healthier lifestyle by changing your behaviour? Whether you wanted to be less stressed, cut out junk food, or stop smoking, you probably defined some simple rules and rewards to influence your behaviour and hopefully achieve that goal. When you applied those rules, you were in fact practicing “gamification”, the process of applying game mechanics to a real-life situation in order to generate a desired outcome. Unfortunately, you didn’t have the resources to turn those ideas into an exciting app.
