Dynamic game difficulty balancing (DGDB), also known as dynamic difficulty adjustment (DDA), adaptive difficulty or dynamic game balancing (DGB), is the process of automatically changing parameters, scenarios, and behaviors in a video game in real-time, based on the player's ability, in order to avoid making the player bored (if the game is too easy) or frustrated (if it is too hard).
Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system built around user-generated content and games, [1] [2] officially referred to as "experiences". [3] Games can be created by any user through the platform's game engine, Roblox Studio, [4] and then shared to and played by other players. [1]
Frame time is related to frame rate, but it measures the time between frames. A game could maintain an average of 60 frames per second but appear choppy because of a poor frame time. Game reviews sometimes average the worst 1% of frame rates, reported as the 99th percentile, to measure how choppy the game appears.
On displays with a fixed refresh rate, a frame can only be shown on the screen at specific intervals, evenly spaced apart. If a new frame is not ready when that interval arrives, then the old frame is held on screen until the next interval (stutter) or a mixture of the old frame and the completed part of the new frame is shown ().
Other games procedurally generate other aspects of gameplay, such as the weapons in Borderlands which have randomized stats and configurations. [3] This is a list of video games that use procedural generation as a core aspect of gameplay. Games that use procedural generation solely during development as part of asset creation are not included.

While all games of this period supported 16-bit color, many were adopting 32-bit color (really 24-bit color with an 8-bit alpha channel) as well. Soon, many benchmark sites began touting 32-bit as a standard. The Unreal Engine, used in a large number of FPS games since its release, was an important milestone at the time. [12]
Variable frame rate (or VFR) is a term in video compression for a feature supported by some container formats which allows for the frame rate to change actively during video playback, or to drop the idea of frame rate completely and set an individual timecode for each frame.
