 [[Awareness of Surroundings]] is a pattern applied to [[Enemies]] or [[Non-Player Characters]] run by [[Algorithmic Agents]] to make them react to what exists in [[Game Worlds]]. Typically things that [[Algorithmic Agents]] need to have responses to include other [[Algorithmic Agents]] (especially [[Enemies]]), [[Pick-Ups]], and [[Power-Ups]].

+''The ability of algorithmic agents to detect and react to all diegetically relevant phenomena.''
 For agents of game worlds to behave convincingly, they need to exhibit some characteristics. One of these is having an [[Awareness of Surroundings]], i.e. noticing and reacting appropriately to things, agents, and events that they can perceive.

 === Examples ===
 The enemies controlled by computers in [[:Category:FPS Games|First Person Shooters]] such as the [[Doom series]] or the [[Counter-Strike series]] are programmed to be both aware of players and the items one can retrieve from the environment. While the inhabitants of the [[Elder Scrolls series]] and [[Fallout series]] and many other [[:Category:Computer-based Roleplaying Games|Computer-based Roleplaying Games]] have the same functionality, showing proper responses to movement, closeness, etc., in non-combat aspects of the gameplay make these games lack some [[Awareness of Surroundings]] that socially believable characters should have (see Lankoski & Björk for a more detailed exploration of this<ref name="Lankoski & Björk 2007"/>).
