The first constraint is “describing unit of play action chain_O,S,V based on Barthes_ semiology, and the second is the infomorphismbetween designer, play equipment, and players based on channeltheory. We provide detailed explanation of the strategy through an exampleof a designing process of playing environment where the playersusage of the play equipment cannot be foreseen.
