| - | Time pressure might be defined as **absolute** or **relative to other events**. It might be about reaching a specific [[en:patterns:spatial_structure|location]] in a specific time, or before a [[en:patterns:competition|competitor]], or before a [[en:patterns:real_world_event|real-world event]]. | + | The time challenge might be **absolute**, e.g. reaching a specific [[en:patterns:spatial_structure|location]] in a specific time, or **relative to other events**, e.g. before a [[en:patterns:competition|competitor]], or before a [[en:patterns:real_world_event|real-world event]]. |
| - | The pattern might be applied to the whole game or only to parts of it. As in any {{tagpage>challenge}}, player performance against time can be valued with a [[en:patterns:reward|reward or penalty]], with a [[en:patterns:score]] (e.g. for example to have a penalty in points if a time limit is surpassed), or it can lead to different [[en:patterns:narrative_flow|narrative flow]]. | + | As in any {{tagpage>challenge}}, player performance against time can be valued with an [[en:patterns:reward|reward or penalty]], with a [[en:patterns:score]] (e.g. for example to have a penalty in points if a time limit is surpassed), or it can lead to different [[en:patterns:narrative_flow|narrative flow]]. |
| Playing **against time** has interesting implications when it is done against [[en:patterns:real_world_event|real-world time]]. Events in the real world might trigger a timer or might denote a time limit (see heuristic [[en:heuristics:heuristics#1.7]]). | Playing **against time** has interesting implications when it is done against [[en:patterns:real_world_event|real-world time]].
