Difference between revisions of "Non-Player Characters"

Revision as of 08:45, 7 September 2010

Persons in game worlds not controlled by players.

Note: the use of characters in this pattern and the pattern named Characters differs. Here, the usage of character complies to the common usage in the gaming community of referring to the graphical representation of a person in the game world (a sort of non-player version of the Avatar patterns). Although the common usage may also often imply the presence of the Agents and Characters patterns, this is not necessary and not presumed when used here.
