How does it set the foundation for dialogue to 

prevent violence? Who are your target users and how do you plan to

reach them?The game Veni, Vidi, Dedici was created in the Kod

Game Lab and its target group is children between 7 and 13. It consists of 9 levels which represent the nine planets which our solar system consists of. The game is educational and the children can learn relevant and interesting information about each of the planets as well as get a visual of what their surface looks like. Through the game they better their logic, memory, speed and patience. In addition to this, the game can inspire them to create their own one because the Kodu Game Lab is a free and very easy to use software which will provoke creative thinking all of which is a very positive consequence from our game. By gaining these abilities to think, play and learn through games the children will change their view on the violence.

In the slides that follow, you can see screenshots of our game as well as inspiring and educational quotes against violence.

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.”

“An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.”

“Sometimes you have to pick the gun up to put the Gun down.”

“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.” 

“If someone puts their hands on you make sure they never put their hands on anybody else again.” 

“To paraphrase several sages: Nobody can think and hit someone at the same time.”

“If somebody says 'I love you' to me, I feel as though I had a pistol pointed at my head. What can anybody reply under such conditions but that which the pistol holder requires? 'I love you, too'.”

“This calls for a very special blend of psychology and extreme violence.”

“If I have to beat you up to keep you safe, that’s just what I’ll do. It’s this kind of regard for others that makes me believe I’d be a good politician.” 

“Learn this now and learn it well. Like a compass facing north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman. Always. You remember that, Mariam.”
