One where different quests are offered based on the in-game choices previously made
by the player. - Answer -What is an example of a dynamic campaign
Playing a pleasant "ding" sound when the player collects a coin - Answer -What is an
example of positive feedback that helps players know that collecting coins in an action
game is a good thing?
Dynamic campaign - Answer -A malleable progression of missions that are created in
real-time or even in response to the player's performance
Game state - Answer -What is going on in a game at any point in time
Goal design - Answer -The delicate skill of creating long-term user engagement by
designing clearly defined and well-crafted goals for the user to work towards over time
Level up - Answer -An upgrade to the player's character that leads to their gaining
increased stats or new abilities
Linear progression - Answer -Objectives or goals are completed in a set order
Nested victories - Answer -Big victories that can only be achieved when a number of
other, smaller victories have been achieved first
Nonlinear progression - Answer -Objectives or goals can be completed in a number of
different orders

Static class - Answer -A class that has variables and methods that can be accessed
from anywhere
