Analyses
  • "Write (Medium): Players must enter text commands to perform actions such as shoot, close in, or flee. This directly corresponds to the “Write” brick.

    Choose (Medium): Players choose from the available options (move, shoot, flee), which is a crucial strategic decision that affects the outcome of the duel.

    Match (Objective): The objective is to defeat the opponent, Black Bart, by using resources (like bullets) wisely and making the right strategic decisions to minimize risks and maximize the chance of success.

    The combination of the "Write" and "Choose" bricks could create a metabrick suitable for a textual duel context, where the players' choices and textual inputs determine the progress and outcome of the game. The "Duel" metabrick would be appropriate here , although not a standard term in existing classifications, it describes well the interactive and choice-based nature of the game. (14/04/2024)"
