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).
Settings tend to be vertically exaggerated with much uneven terrain that the player can leap up to or fall off of. Donkey Kong (1981) was one of the earliest and best-known platformers. The American gaming press classified it using the term climbing game at the time. [ 5 ]
A game level or world can be linear, nonlinear or interactive. In a linear game, there is only one path that the player must take through the level, but in games with nonlinear gameplay, players might have to revisit locations or choose from multiple paths to finish the level. As with other game elements, linear level design is not absolute.

An illustration of texture filtering methods showing a texture with trilinear mipmapping (left) and anisotropic texture filtering. In 3D computer graphics, anisotropic filtering (AF) [1] [2] is a technique that improves the appearance of textures, especially on surfaces viewed at sharp angles.
A BFG Physx card. PhysX is an open-source [1] realtime physics engine middleware SDK developed by Nvidia as part of the Nvidia GameWorks software suite.. Initially, video games supporting PhysX were meant to be accelerated by PhysX PPU (expansion cards designed by Ageia).
The result is that the winner of a real-time strategy game is too often the best tactician rather than the best strategist. [55] Troy Goodfellow counters this by saying that the problem is not that real-time strategy games are lacking in strategy (he says attrition is a form of strategy), rather it is that they too often have the same strategy ...
[21] The game designers allows players to experiment in a safe environment, as "the point about open-ended/sandbox design and when they work best in teaching the player is through learning by doing". [22] Cohesive narratives in sandbox design can be difficult since the player can progress through the game in a non-linear manner. [23]
