Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
AI Bots are computer-controlled game characters that substitute for characters that are otherwise typically played by a human, and are most commonly found in multiplayer games.
Games that ask the player whether they are sure about the decision that they have just made.
A heads-up display is a graphical overlay of vital information used in most modern games.
Hotseat multiplayer mode allows multiple people to play the same game on one system. This generally only applies to turn based games such as Civilization IV or Advanced Wars.
A Palette Swap is when two or more characters share the same style sprite or character model with only minor color or cosmetic changes. Although visually similar, palette swap characters may have very different moves and personalities.
Pixel art refers to digital images composed of visible pixels, drawn with individual pixel-level intent and precision.
A Random Number Generator (hence RNG) is a system designed to randomize a sequence of numbers. Most games technically use a table of 'random' numbers, simulating random chance.
A popular concept from the 1990's that let players get more of a taste for a game than a mere demo.
Clouds that, for some reason, can be stood on without falling through.
A two-dimensional image or animation overlaid into a scene. The foundation of early 2D games, making up everything from props to the player-controlled character.
Turn-based games divide game actions into distinct parts, called turns. This gives the player time to strategically choose actions as the battle or events unfold.
