Whois & Analysis for namegeneratorhub.com

A role-playing game (sometimes spelled roleplaying game and abbreviated to RPG) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting.

Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting or through a process of structured decision-making of character development.

Actions taken within many games succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines.

Fantasy is a genre of speculative fiction set in a fictional universe, often without any locations, events, or people referencing the real world.

Its roots are in oral traditions, which then became literature and drama.

From the twentieth century it has expanded further into various media, including film, television, graphic novels and video games.

A player character (also known as PC and playable character) is a fictional character in a role-playing game or video game whose actions are directly controlled by a player of the game rather than the rules of the game.

The characters that are not controlled by a player are called non-player characters (NPCs).

The actions of non-player characters are typically handled by the game itself in video games, or according to rules followed by a gamemaster refereeing tabletop role-playing games.

The player character functions as a fictional, alternate body for the player controlling it.

A platform game, or platformer, is a video game genre and subgenre of action game.

In a platformer the player controls a character or avatar to jump between suspended platforms and avoid obstacles.

Environments often feature uneven terrain requiring jumping and climbing in order to traverse them.

The player often has some control over the height and distance of jumps to avoid letting their character fall to their death or miss necessary jumps.

The most common unifying element of games of this genre is the jump button, but now there are other alternatives like swiping a touchscreen.

Other acrobatic maneuvers may factor into the gameplay as well, such as swinging from objects such as vines or grappling hooks, as in Ristar or Bionic Commando, or bouncing from springboards or trampolines, as in Alpha Waves.

These mechanics, even in the context of other genres, are commonly called platforming, a verbification of platform.

Games where jumping is automated completely, such as 3D games in The Legend of Zelda series, fall outside of the genre.

A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device such as a TV screen or computer monitor.

The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device, but as of the 2000s, it implies any type of display device that can produce two- or three-dimensional images.

Some theorists categorize video games as an art form, but this designation is controversial.
