## How it works

The image becomes an independent result or appearance of the game object.

## Variants

### Variants and applications

<a id="family-g01-variants"></a>

- Free drawing. Rule: Create your own image without a required sample; the result is saved and available for viewing. Criteria: Free goal. Example status: With example. <a id="variant-d001"></a>
- Drawing on the topic. Rule: Convey a given object, situation or concept with your own drawing. Criterion: The meaning of the image. Example status: With example. <a id="variant-d002"></a>
- Character drawing. Rule: Draw a hero who then appears in the game world. Criterion: Created image. Example status: With example. <a id="variant-d003"></a>
- Design of the item. Rule: Draw a pattern, emblem or appearance of the item being used. Criterion: Created image. Example status: Design pattern. <a id="variant-d004"></a>
- Environment painting. Rule: Leave your own images on walls, floors and other surfaces of the world. Criterion: Created image. Example status: With example. <a id="variant-d005"></a>
- Level drawing. Rule: Draw the geometry of the level, which the game transforms into space available for passage. Criterion: Passability of the level. Example status: Design pattern. <a id="variant-d006"></a>
- Creating a repeatable pattern. Rule: Draw a module and make up an ornament or covering from its repetitions. Criterion: Composition. Example status: Design pattern. <a id="variant-d007"></a>
- Composition from your own drawings. Rule: Draw individual elements and assemble them into a complete scene. Criterion: Composition. Example status: Design pattern. <a id="variant-d008"></a>

## Context and limits

The author's working classification of mechanics in which the player creates or changes an image, line, outline or stroke, and the game uses the result. Does not claim to be a closed universal list. Catalog unit: player action, drawing interpretation and result. Related options are separated when the rule or outcome criterion changes. A design pattern means that the specific game example in that directory is untested; This is not a statement about the primacy, prevalence or absence of such games.
