Description

Relaxation, Anticipation, Engagement, and Decay can be used in a iterated sequence, such as: ...→Relaxation→Anticipation→Engagement→Decay→Relaxation→Anticipation→Engagement→Decay&rarrRelaxation→...
Due to the difficulties in designing and coding the intelligence for the phase of Anticipation, the following simpler version is more common: ...→Relaxation→Engagement→Decay→Relaxation→Engagement→Decay&rarrRelaxation→...

Examples

Far Cry 2 is notorious by its use of the more complete sequence of the four phases. Naturally, from the phase of Anticipation it is possible to get back to Relaxation, if Engagement is avoided.

The three phases iteration is perceptible in Need For Speed Underworld, for instance.

In Papa Sangre the sequence is also perceptible. What is more, if we opt to interpret that there is never exactly an Engagement -- in this game the actual Engagement is equal to Death -- but instead a possible second degree of Anticipation (of getting caught, once spotted and if not able to outrun the pursuer), then the sequence is more like: ...→Relaxation→Anticipation→Decay→Relaxation→Anticipation→Decay&rarrRelaxation→...
