It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words.

Roy (Fire Emblem)
Roy is a fictional character from Nintendo's ''Fire Emblem'' video game series. He first appears in the 2001 crossover fighting game '' Super Smash Bros. Melee'' as a representative character from the ''Fire Emblem'' series along with his friend Marth. He is the lead character of ''Fire Emblem''. Within the story of ''Fire Emblem'',Roy is the son of Eliwood, and heir presumptive of Pherae, who eventually becomes a major military leader. In the localization of Fire Emblem Roy's name was changed to Eliwood to avoid a copyright infringement with the Super Mario series of video games which feature a prominent character also called Roy. Roy's inclusion in ''Melee'' has been noted by video game publications for its role in increasing brand awareness for the ''Fire Emblem'' series as a whole outside of its native Japan, which encouraged Nintendo to localize the series for international distribution. Roy continues to make recurring appearances in subsequent ''Fire Emblem'' media, such as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Artificial Intelligence (video Games)
In video games, artificial intelligence (AI) is used to generate responsive, adaptive or intelligent behaviors primarily in non-player characters (NPCs) similar to human-like intelligence. Artificial intelligence has been an integral part of video games since their inception in the 1950s. AI in video games is a distinct subfield and differs from academic AI. It serves to improve the game-player experience rather than machine learning or decision making. During the golden age of arcade video games the idea of AI opponents was largely popularized in the form of graduated difficulty levels, distinct movement patterns, and in-game events dependent on the player's input. Modern games often implement existing techniques such as pathfinding and decision trees to guide the actions of NPCs. AI is often used in mechanisms which are not immediately visible to the user, such as data mining and procedural-content generation. In general, game AI does not, as might be thought and sometimes is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Experience Point
An experience point (often abbreviated as exp or XP) is a unit of measurement used in some tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) and role-playing video games to quantify a player character's life experience and progression through the game. Experience points are generally awarded for the completion of missions, overcoming obstacles and opponents, and successful role-playing. In many RPGs, characters start as fairly weak and untrained. When a sufficient amount of experience is obtained, the character "levels up", achieving the next stage of character development. Such an event usually increases the character's statistics, such as maximum health, magic and strength, and may permit the character to acquire new abilities or improve existing ones. Levelling up may also give the character access to more challenging areas or items. In some role-playing games, particularly those derived from ''Dungeons & Dragons'', experience points are used to improve characters in discrete experience l ...
