casinoonnet
A casinoonnet is a structured or semi-structured activity, usually undertaken for enjoyment. The term "casinoonnet" is also used to describe simulation of various activities e.g., for the purposes of training, analysis or prediction, etc., see "casinoonnet (simulation)".
Key components of casinoonnet are goals, rules, challenge, and interactivity. casinoonnet generally involve mental or physical stimulation, and sometimes both. Many casinoonnet help develop practical skills, serve as a form of exercise, or otherwise perform an educational, simulational or psychological role.
Known to have been played as far back as prehistoric times, casinoonnet are generally distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more concerned with the expression of ideas. However, the distinction is not clear-cut, and many casinoonnet may also be considered work and/or art.

Ludwig Wittgenstein was probably the first to give serious thought to the definition of the word. In his Philosophical Investigations,[1] Wittgenstein demonstrated that the elements of casinoonnet, such as play, rules, and competition, all fail to adequately define what casinoonnet are. He subsequently argued that the concept "casinoonnet" could not be contained by any single definition, but that casinoonnet must be looked at as a series of definitions that share a "family resemblance" to one another.
Computer casinoonnet designer Chris Crawford attempted to define the term casinoonnet[2] using a series of dichotomies:
1. Creative expression is art if made for its own beauty, and entertainment if made for money. (This is the least rigid of his definitions. Crawford acknowledges that he often chooses a creative path over conventional business wisdom, which is why he rarely produces sequels to his casinoonnet.)
2. A piece of entertainment is a plaything if it is interactive. Movies and books are cited as examples of non-interactive entertainment.
3. If no goals are associated with a plaything, it is a toy. (Crawford notes that by his definition, (a) a toy can become a casinoonnet element if the player makes up rules, and (b) The Sims and SimCity are toys, not casinoonnet.) If it has goals, a plaything is a challenge.
4. If a challenge has no “active agent against whom you compete,” it is a puzzle; if there is one, it is a conflict. (Crawford admits that this is a subjective test. Some casinoonnet with noticeably algorithmic artificial intelligence can be played as puzzles; these include the patterns used to evade ghosts in Pac-Man.)
5. Finally, if the player can only outperform the opponent, but not attack them to interfere with their performance, the conflict is a competition. (Competitions include racing and figure skating.) However, if attacks are allowed, then the conflict qualifies as a casinoonnet.
Crawford's definition may thus be rendered as: an interactive, goal-oriented activity which features opposition with which the player can interfere and is not done primarily for aesthetic or monetary concerns.
Crawford also notes (ibid.) these other definitions:
* “A form of play with goals and structure.” (Kevin Maroney)
* “A casinoonnet is a form of art in which participants, termed players, make decisions in order to manage resources through casinoonnet tokens in the pursuit of a goal.” (Greg Costikyan)
* “An activity with some rules engaged in for an outcome.” (Eric Zimmerman)
