Loops The 'game' aspect of this beast we call a computer game always involves 'loops'.The player starts with a mental model that prompts them to...Apply an action to...The game system and in return...Receives feedback that...Updates their mental model and starts the loop all over again. Or kicks off a new loop. Nested, dependent loops yields complex feedback loops and unexpected dynamics.
