Girls outperform boys when programming games

Research by experts at Sussex University shows that girls are better than boys in programming video games.

Usually, we often think of video games as a son's strength. However, after conducting a test experiment, researchers at the University of Sussex showed the opposite.

Video games are only for boys?Think again!

Accordingly, a group of 12-13-year-old students including men and women spent 8 weeks participating in a 3D role-playing game. Here, students imagine and build their own scripts based on simple commands. This game is designed in close proximity to the game Never Winter Night 2.

To help the children, Dr. Kate Howland and Judith Good created a program called Flip, which translates code into English script. As a result, the child volunteers can understand the scenario they have created themselves to continue to develop.

The results are staggering: the female group built a lot of complex game scenarios with many conditions. This is completely superior to the male volunteer group, who primarily build game scenarios very simply.

Don't joke with us women!

Explaining this, Dr. Judith Good said that the main reason is that women are stronger than men in language ability as well as creativity and imagination. This clearly indicates that at a young age when girls know a lot more words than boys.

Imagination and language ability .

. helps women to excel in video game programming

In other words, the stories of the weaker sex are often complicated and many different details. Therefore, when programming video games, the plot and scenario they build also tend to be more diverse than men.

This result is quite similar to a study published in Computers & Education magazine. Accordingly, girls are passionate and tend to like to simulate emulation programs, to create creativity and to build complex stories both in reality or in fantasy.

Another interesting point, the number of female fans of video game fans is increasing. In the UK alone, the number of women playing games on smartphones is even more than men, especially between the ages of 25 and 44.
