Function: Entertainment-game application •	For each feature: o	Name of the function : Entertainment o	Description : One of features of the Neopets website is to provide entertainment for its users. It provides its users a virtual pet in which they will take care of by feeding, petting and other actions. Furthermore, it offers additional games/mini-games within different genres (Action, Arcade, Adventure, etc.) in order to collect “money” to pay for the food and clothing for the pet. o	User interface: The games are displayed on a page accessible through a tab at the top of the page.

o	Basic idea of the algorithm behind the feature: o	What info types and organizational structures it uses (displays, changes, etc.): Types: User, Games. Organizational structures: Index, links

Type: User

Diagram of each type you cover •	Attributes o	Name o	Username o	Interests o	Data of birth o	Gender o	Address •	Value patterns •	Screenshot of one item of the type in the system’s UI with Callouts to attributes

Organization: Links •	Screenshot of UI •	Description: Part of the information on the web is organized in form of links. That is, the information is not organized in a specific order (hierarchy or alphabetic/index), but it displays different parts of a category. For instance, if you place the cursor on any of the tabs at the top of the page (without clicking it), a menu of different options within that tab will drop down. Now, this feature itself is a hierarchy since all the options belong to that specific category; however, none of the links/options in the menu are organized in any specific way. Therefore, they're "links" to the features of that category. •	Kind of organization (hierarchy, index, etc.): Links •	What info types are being organized? Items, Users, Pets, Cities •	Comments on the usability and design of the organization structure: This is actually a useful way to organize the information on the page. If we look closely we see that the features of each category are in fact organized in one specific way: Usability. The features that are searched most often within each category are placed at the top. For instance, under the "games" tab, the first option is the "Games Room" which is arguably the most visited page within the category of games. This organization structure has definitely made going through the website and the usability faster and smoother.
