Optimize

Objective optimize · core

The objective is not binary reached/not reached but gradual: as much as possible (high score) or as little as possible (time, moves, losses). No fixed endpoint – “better” is always conceivable.

Design question – Which value should players drive as high (or as low) as possible?

Reference example – Yahtzee: filling the score sheet to end up with as many points as possible. Golf: into the hole in as few strokes as possible. Football: not just winning, but pushing up the goal difference.
