Assumptions
It is possible to name re-usable gameplay design concepts
This assumptions builds on similar assumptions from other design disciplines, most specifically the design pattern approach introduced in Architecture<ref name="Alexander"/> and commonly used in object-oriented programming<ref name="Gamma"/>.
Games can be described as an Activity-Based Framework of Game Components
The original gameplay design patterns collection<ref name="Bjork & Holopainen 2004"/> was created from analyzing specific ways game components could be instantiated in a game design. To support this, a framework describing generalized game components on different levels of abstraction was identified<ref name="Bjork & Holopainen 2004, chapter 2"/>
