In the MDA framework, Mechanics describe the action of a player from moment to moment in a game.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks us to evaluate the statement: 'In the MDA framework, Mechanics describe the action of a player from moment to moment in a game.'
Option 1: True. This is not accurate. In the MDA framework, Mechanics are the rules, algorithms, and systems that make up the game at a fundamental level; they are not the moment-to-m-moment actions of the player. The live, moment-to-moment behavior that players experience emerges from how those Mechanics interact during play.
Option 2: False. This is the correct characterization. Mechanics define the building blocks of the game (things like rules, data structures, and scripted logic). When players actually play, their actions and the resulting play experience unfold as Dynamics, which are the run-time behaviors that arise from applying Mechanics. Therefore, the statement attributing moment-to-moment player action to Mechanics misidentifies the role of Mechanics within MDA.
In other words, if you think of Mechanics as the static rules, then Dynamics are what happens when players interact with those rules in real time, and Aesthetics are the emotional responses those dynamics evoke. The claim in Option 1 conflates Mechanics with Dynamic play activity, which is why it is incorrect.
