Once upon a time there was a man who had often travelled to foreign
lands, and on returning to his own country boasted very much of the many
wonderful and heroic acts he had performed in different places he had
visited.
Among other things, he said that when he was at Rhodes he had leaped
to such a distance that no man of his day could leap anywhere near him
as to that, there were many persons in Rhodes who saw how he did it and
whom he could call as witnesses.
However, one of the people who were standing by, interrupted him saying:
«Now, my good man, if this all be true there is no need of witnesses.
Suppose this to be Rhodes, and leap for us». The man felt ashamed and
confused as he certainly couldn’t do that.
And the people around said: «He who does a thing well does not need to
boast».

video games are computer games - a computer program that serves to organize the gameplay (gameplay), communication with game partners, or itself acting as a partner [1] [2].
currently, in some cases, instead of a computer game, a video game can be used, that is, these terms can be used interchangeably and be interchangeable [3] [4] [c. one]. in computer games, as a rule, the game situation is reproduced on the display screen or a regular tv (in this case, computer games are also video games at the same time), but at the same time a computer game can be sound, teletype and others [1] [2].
computer games can be created on the basis of films and books; there are reverse cases. since 2011, computer games are officially recognized in the united states as a separate art form.
computer games have had such a significant impact on society that information technology has a steady gamification trend for non-game application software [6] [7].
видео игры, это компьютерная программа, играющая роль в организации игрового процесса (геймплея), или выступающая в качестве партнеров [1] [2].
в настоящее время в компьютерных играх могут использоваться видеоигры, в которых есть данные, которые могут быть синонимами и взаимозаменяемыми [3] [4] [к. 1]. в компьютерных играх, как правило, игровая ситуация воспроизводится на экране дисплея или в обычном телевизоре (в этом случае компьютерные игры одновременно и видеоигры), но в то же время компьютерная игра может быть звуковой, телетайповой и др [1] [2].
компьютерные игры могут быть созданы на основе фильмов и книг; есть и обратные случаи. с 2011 года компьютерные игры официально признаны в сша.
компьютерные игры оказали столь существенное влияние на общество, что в информационных технологиях отмечена устойчивая тенденция к геймификации для неигрового прикладного программного обеспечения [6] [7].
