| The User Interface (UI) is the part of the game [[mechanic]] the player uses to interact with the game. The term generally refers specifically to the buttons, windows, and other controls the player sees when playing the game.
| |
| | |
| In many games, the developers made allowances for enterprising players to craft their own unique look-and-feel for their gamespace. The player can [[Mod|modify ("mod")]] just their own client application, or one can upload one's UI mod to one of the many [[fansites]] that host file transfers. Players can also download mods by peers and use those UI mods with their client. In World of
| |
| Warcraft, mods are called [[AddOn]]s.
| |
| | |
| By swapping out UI mods, the entire gaming community has the opportunity to find a UI that works for their playstyle.
