Play Modes
Machinations diagrams are dynamic. The models you design can be played through, using 4 Play Modes. Access them in the Play bar, at the bottom of the canvas.
Simulates player & systems interaction real–time. This is the only play mode that supports Interactive Nodes and real-time changes on the diagram during execution.
info
Steps: Adjust the number of steps during execution. All Nodes on a diagram change their state synchronously during a Step.
1 Step = 1 player action OR
1 Step = 1 core loop OR
1 Step = 1 game played
1 Step = 1 core loop OR
1 Step = 1 game played
Speed: Adjust the diagram execution speed. The default value is 1 second/Step. Decreasing that value “speeds up” time; increasing it “slows down“ time.
Play through the diagram one step at a time. This is an easy way to debug your diagram as you build it, and identify where it breaks.
Compute (server-side) and return the complete scenario of either one or multiple executions.
success
As Quick Plays are computed server-side, you can work on a different diagram while the Orchestrator performs the simulation. You will receive a notification once Quick Plays finishes to compute the executions.
💡 Remember to save your progress before switching diagrams.
Plot the result of hundreds or thousands of plays, all overlaid in the Chart: a heat-map of values/time.

Powerful simulations: a combination of Steps & Quick Plays.
Use the number of Steps to determine how many days/actions/games the execution plays. Then determine how many times the Orchestrator should repeat this to get statistical relevant simulations, by setting the number of Quick Plays to execute.
