We find ourselves in this day and age doing without knowing this is because we as humans don't like to always know what is happening but that we wish to learn through doing. For example think last time you got something that was flat packed, was the first thing you did when getting this product to read the instructions for most men the answer is no. This is because we prefer to just go on ahead and work it out in our own way and own time. Their is many reasons why we do this and the main reason i can think of is that when you do this it'll give you some kind of sense of achievement this is because by doing and accomplishing without reading instructions means that you beat the system and the code and conventions that run along with this task. This is because the maker of this production has made it to be done ion a specific way but when we don't bother reading how its meant to be done and go on ahead and do it our own way and do it properly then we feel a sense of accomplishment.
So where i am going with this is because like a game we don't always like to have instructions we usually just press play and figure it out this is also because retie is a certain set of standard keys that are used in games that we could guess because we all know that arrows are usually move and space bar is jump. Although i think that with our game we will make sure that their is still instructions or make it clear what is to happen because like making a flat pack we have to have something to go back to when we get lost or something goes wrong.
So understanding how users play games has helped me realise that our game has to either have instructions or be clear in how it is to be played.
