Ambiguity in Definition
The term gameplay can be quite ambiguous to define, thus it has been differently defined by different authors.
For instance:
- "A series of interesting choices." -Sid Meier
- "The structures of player interaction with the game system and with other players in the game."
- "One or more causally linked series of challenges in a simulated environment."
- "A good game is one that you can win by doing the unexpected and making it work."
- "The experience of gameplay is one of interacting with a game design in the performance of cognitive tasks, with a variety of emotions arising from or associated with different elements of motivation, task performance and completion."
- "Gameplay here is seen as the interactive gaming process of the player with the game."
