Next Steps - Green Gaming

Summary:
Our next step is to do an experiment with our computer during the holidays. We try to minimise our energy consumption with very low graphics settings and generally little power. We will track our consumption and compare it with our normal consumption at the end.
 
Step by step:
- Play video games with high graphics settings and the best settings
- Track our FPS, energy that we use etc.
- Write it down
- Play video games with low graphics settings and only with recommended settings
- Track our FPS, energy that we use etc.
- Write it down which Games we played, what we did exactly regarding the settings
- Write down if there are other ways as well to save energy
- Compare it with the other results
- Write down our comment if it works and what we can do better or different

Vision and Imagination - Green Gaming

Definition of vision and imagination:
Vision and imagination is very similar. Imagination arises through the heart. It is a kind of tool that it uses to get what it wants. It creates images in our mind of what the goal or desire could be. This is then the vision. The vision motivates us and motivates our mind and body to begin the work and move forward. Not only that, a vision allows you to act coherently and with focus and determination over long spans of time. 

Vision and imagination for our project: 

Vision: We want to show how you can make gaming more environmentally friendly with a few simple steps. 

Imagination: Our imagination is that we can play as much as we want without having to have in mind how we harm our environment.
