Infinite runner game loop

Players △ Sprint → 5 meters/Step. ◯ Distance keeps track of how far they get.

• △ Sources produce Resources
  • Sprint generates meters
• → Resource Connections transfer Resources
  • The amount of meters Sprint generates is stated by the 5 on the meters Resource Connection’s Formula
• ◯ Pools collect Resources
  • Distance keeps track of the distance (meters) the player runs

△ Sprint generates ◯ Distance AND a ◯ Difficulty Factor. Distance is generated for each Step. The Difficulty Factor is generated once every 2 Steps.

• ⇢ State Connections change the state of elements on the diagram
  • We use the ◯ Distance Pool to determine how many Coins the players get, depending on how far they get
  • Each of the 3 State Connections leaving the ◯ Distance Pool do 3 things:
    1. Take feedback from ◯ Distance (how far did the player get)
    2. Check the condition of their Formula
    3. Deactivate/Activate the output △ Sources
• Upon activation, the △ Sources generate ◯ Coins
• The ◯ Coins Pool keeps track of the amount accumulated by the player

If the ◯ Difficulty Factor is >1, then generate ◯ Obstacles.

Each ◯ Obstacle can cause the player to crash.

The ◇ Chance of Error is →10%.

If the ◯ Player Crashes, End Run.

• ◇ Gates distribute Resources
  • The dice symbol on the “Chance of Error” Gate denotes that the distribution is random

With each increase in ◯ Difficulty Factor, the → chance of Error increases by ⇢ 1%.
