The characters of a strongly interactive system should include a strong need for input, and a strong output which has the user intrigued even further. The outputs need to be able to create joy or interest or maybe even frustration, just something that can really have the user feeling deeply about what had happend, and trigger the strong intention to try again. I believe games are a pretty good example of this. They require input to do anything at all, and they might be somehow addictive because the output from the game keeps the gamer strongly sttracted. Whether it is that the user dies and needs to start again, needs to finish something, or needs to start somethign new, the feeling generated by the system urges the user to make another input, and then the cycle of an interactive system can keep spinning until one decides to leave.
For my own p5 sketches, I think they lack an interactive depth. There is too little to do with my sketches, since I haven’t learned enough to build a game out of it. There is no interactive cycle, it is usally just a click or a movement of the mouse, and everything is over. This leaves the user with no intention to start again or do something different because they have already finished everything they can. Also, the output isn’t intersting enough. If the output is, for example, getting a certificate that holds some value, or maybe a souvenier of Abu Dhabi, it might make the users want to participate more (for more or different rewards), or maybe it can attract other users.
According to this, I get the idea that I have to incorparate more interactive funcions to keep the user interested when I go on to learn more code and make the big projects.
