 # Game
 
-Most generally game is a form of play which is restricted by certain rules, the goal of which is typically [fun](fun.md), providing challenge and/or [competition](competition.md) (and sometimes more, e.g. [education](education.md), training etc.). A game may have various combinations of mathematical/mental elements (e.g. competitive mental calculations, mathematically defined rules, ...), physical elements (based in [real life](irl.md) physics, e.g. [football](football.md), [marble racing](marble_racing.md), ...) and even other types of elements (e.g. social, psychological, ...); nowadays very popular games are [computer](computer.md) games, a type of video games (also gaymes, video gaems or vidya, e.g. [Anarch](anarch.md), [minesweeper](minesweeper.md), [Doom](doom.md), ...), which are played with the help of a computer. An entity (human, computer, animal, ...) playing a game is called a player and his ability to play it well is called [skill](skill.md); however some games may involve pure [randomness](randomness.md) and chance which may limit or even eliminate the need of skill (e.g. [rock paper scissors](rock_paper_scissors.md)). *Game* is also a [mathematical](math.md) term in [game theory](game_theory.md) which studies games and competition rigorously.

 A fun take at the very concept of a game is [Nomic](nomic.md), a game in which changing the game rules is part of the game. It leads to all kinds of mindfucks.
 
-**What does a good game look like?** It is [simple](simple.md), [LRS](lrs.md) and [beautiful](beauty.md), with only a few rules, but has great depth and provides endless hours of [fun](fun.md) and challenge -- so called [easy to learn, hard to master](easy_to_learn_hard_to_master.md). A good game is [free](free_culture.md), owned by no one, belonging to the people, and lives its own life by relying on **self imposed goals** rather than "content consumption" in form of constant [updates](update_culture.md) and centralized control by some kind of "owner" (as is the case with capitalist games) -- i.e. despite having a goal, the game doesn't try to hard force the player to do something, but rather opens up a nice environment (in which the main goal is but one of many fun things to do) for player's own creativity (once the player beats the game, he may e.g. try to beat it [as fast as possible](speedrun.md), play it with some deliberate limitation, try to play it as bad as possible, combine it with other games etc.). One such nice game is possibly [racetrack](racetrack.md).

From mathematical point of view the game's simple rules open up a complex world that's deep enough to keep exploring forever -- for this reason it's best if solving the game is for example [NP hard](np_hard.md) and players therefore have to look for [heuristics](heuristic.md) for playing it efficiently. A good game is [free](free_culture.md), owned by no one, belonging to the people, and lives its own life by relying on **self imposed goals** rather than "content consumption" in form of constant [updates](update_culture.md) and centralized control by some kind of "owner" (as is the case with capitalist games) -- i.e. despite having a goal, the game doesn't try to hard force the player to do something, but rather opens up a nice environment (in which the main goal is but one of many fun things to do) for player's own creativity (once the player beats the game, he may e.g. try to beat it [as fast as possible](speedrun.md), play it with some deliberate limitation, try to play it as bad as possible, combine it with other games etc.). One such nice game is possibly [racetrack](racetrack.md). For competition it's probably best if the game is symmetric, i.e. all players have (at least as much as possible) equal conditions (same weapons, same goals, ...) -- this ensures that the game always stays balanced, even when new tricks are being discovered as these can be utilized by everyone.
 
 ### Types Of Games
 
 It's quite hard to exactly define what a game is, it is a [fuzzy](fuzzy.md) concept, and it is also hard to categorize games. Let us now define a simple classification of games by their basic nature, which will hopefully be suitable for us here:
 
-- **[mathematical](math.md) games**: Games taking place in an abstract mathematical space, with exactly defined rules. Though mathematical games may of course be represented in real life (e.g. by physical chess pieces made of wood), such a representation is only a helper for the player and doesn't rule the game out of this category. Mathematicians try to *solve* these games in various ways, e.g. by trying to construct an [algorithm](algorithm.md) for perfect play or proving that with perfect play one of the players can always secure a win.

Though mathematical games may of course be represented in real life (e.g. by physical chess pieces made of wood or a physical Rubik's cube), such a representation is only a helper for the player and doesn't rule the game out of this category. Mathematicians try to *solve* these games in various ways, e.g. by trying to construct an [algorithm](algorithm.md) for perfect play or proving that with perfect play one of the players can always secure a win.
   - **[computer](computer.md) games**: Mathematical games that practically REQUIRE a computer (and usually have been design as such) to be played due to the computations involved being very numerous and/or complex -- for example [Doom](doom.md).
   - **non-computer mathematical games**: Mathematical games that do not require a computer (though of course their computer implementations may exist) as the calculations involved can be practically performed without it -- for example [chess](chess.md).
 - **[real life](irl.md) games**: Games taking place in real life, i.e. usually making use of real world physics or other laws (e.g. social ones) -- for example [football](football.md) or [marble racing](marble_racing.md).
