The pigs need to be rewarded with some tangible physical outcome for their behavior, otherwise, they have no incentive to get good at the game. I don&#x27;t think the visual stimuli will really motivate them for too long.<p>They should get apple slices or ice cream or something when they score a point. Also, there should be a process of reinforcement, where successful pigs get to play longer and more often. This way you&#x27;ll come to meet pigs who are well trained, and with experience can get really good at the game.<p>I hope this game interacts with more than one experimental barn wall. I think you&#x27;d need at leat 100 of these walls in many different pig sties, to engage a community of players, not to mention the pigs.
