Cycle

Each battle follows a game loop with each character playing after the other: they play turns.

There is characters turns, but also rounds. A round contains all the characters turns. When all these characters turns end, the round ends too and another one starts.

Imagine a battle with two characters: Tomato and Ketchup.

This gives us that:

1. First round
   1. Tomato turn
   2. Ketchup turn
2. Second round
   1. Tomato turn
   2. Ketchup turn
3. etc

Character turn

Also simply named as turn.

A character turn begins on battle start, or after a previous ended character turn. In the two case it's after a little delay. A dead character cannot play its turn.

A turn has a duration, which is equal to the character action time. Since turn has started nothing can alterate this value.

A turn ends at the exact moment of one of these condition is respected:

• Turn duration is elapsed
• Character playing the turn dies
• Battle is finished
