syltefar.com: FIUD

FIUD is a metagame classification.

 Progression:

  * F: Finishable (has a well-defined ending)

  * E: Endless (can be played forever, barring kill screens)


Continue type:

  - savepoint = checkpoint

  - Omitted if permadeath

  * C: Checkpointed (dev defined checkpoints)

  * M: manual save (user defined checkpoints)

  * I: Immediate (retain current game state)

Continue supply:

  - lives = continues

  * U: Unlimited continues

  * L: Limited continues

  * P: Permadeath = no continues

Resource change:

  - If omitted, no resource gain or loss (games without power-ups)

  - Hit points are normally not considered metagame resources, and

    are expected to be reset on continue, or reverted 

  * R: Reset (reset resources to starting state)

  * D: Decrease (resources decreased, e.g. level down, dropped souls)

  * S: Save-relative (revert to manual save/checkpoint state)

  * K: Keep (no resource loss)
