Through responsive design, Hayashida teaches players to utilize a toolset and come out of each level with a concrete, new skill. While some of these skills are arbitrary &#8212; useless outside of the contexts in which they were learned &#8212; through Design Hayashida still manages to\u00a0provide a take-away from the interactions he provides for players.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamasutra.com\/view\/feature\/168460\/the_structure_of_fun_learning_.php\">discussion with Gamasutra<\/a>, Hayashida discusses his perspective on Design and teaching through games, and how it has affected his overall design philosophy.
