What is the difference between "live multiplayer" and "multiplayer"?
- Arnavion 2y agoThere are asynchronous multiplayer games like Super Auto Pets, where you build a "team" of some sort and pit it against ghost teams of other players who played recently. Though I can't imagine how that would work for Minesweeper.
- dspillett 2y agoMultiplayer is a more general term that encompasses things like turn-based multi-player which could be anything from live-ish (people taking turns immediately after each other, like traditional board games) to very high latency (like chess by post¹). -------- [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondence_chess https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondence_chess
