Game motif programming exercises (GM-Games) were
developed to help novices develop complex client server game
systems within their freshman year. GM-Games foster a strong

skills as they are in mastering the shooting, racing or strategy
skills required in many entertainment games. We describe in
this paper how GM-Games imitate many of the aspects of game
play.
