Games as a system


All games have a system, a way that all the different aspects work together. Every different part of a game is connected or related to the other parts of that game, take one away and it wouldn’t work.

The main things that make up a game are, the objects, the attributes, and the internal relationships.

The objects in the game are pretty simple to explain they are basically all the physical things that you can see in a game like the character, things in the environments like trees and rocks etc. the AI and the CPU also come under the objects within the game. Another important object is of course the players themselves.

The attributes of a game are the current state of it when you are playing, the qualities and properties of the game.

The internal relationships within a game are the relationship between the player and the character, or whatever they are controlling within the game.
