OK! So today’s discussion was on the classification of a game as a sandbox.<\/p>\n
Wikipedia has this to say<\/p>\n
An open world<\/strong> is a type of video game<\/a> level design<\/a> where a player can roam freely through a virtual world<\/a> and is given considerable freedom in choosing how to approach objectives.Video games that include such level design often are referred to as “free roam” games.<\/p>\n
The term is sometimes used interchangeably with “sandbox<\/a>” and “free-roaming”;however, the terms open world<\/em> and free-roaming<\/em> describe the game environment itself and allude more to the absence of artificial barriers,[4]<\/a><\/sup> in contrast to the invisible walls<\/a> and loading screens<\/a> that are common in linear level designs. The term sandbox<\/em> refers more to the mechanics of a game and how, as in a physical sandbox, the user is entertained by his ability to play creatively and with there being “no right way”of playing the game.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
