It is possible to develop Gamified Applications, with similar characteristics of Games, for example a system of Fulfilling Tasks and earning badges, as the Forum itself has with the badges.
And if so, do you know any video tutorials?
(Sorry for any mistakes in English, it’s not my main language and I’m not very good at it yet)
I have a working badge system in my app GameIt (available on appstore). I have created a Badge datatype with a couple of different badges. On my user data, I have a list of badges. When a person creates a collection, make changes to user, badges add Do a search for badges item#(the badge).
First of all, you need to create “the rules” of your game with things like:
What the users will win? Badges, benefits, cupons, discounts?
When they will win? After a task? After some time? After purchase something?
Why your users will want to “play”?
First, you need to have your “game” well known by you before ask this type of question, because every company/app will have their own rules. You need to create yours. Something that fits your app.
