Waving is a nonverbal communication gesture that consists of the movement of the hand and/or entire arm that people commonly use to greet each other, but it can also be used to say goodbye, acknowledge another's presence, call for silence, or deny someone. The wave gesture is an essential element of human language.

71-486: Kinect: Disneyland Adventures is a 2011 open world video game developed by Frontier Developments and published by Microsoft Studios on Kinect for Xbox 360 , with a remaster for Xbox One and Microsoft Windows developed by Asobo Studio released in 2017 as simply Disneyland Adventures . It takes place in a recreation of Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California , circa 2011, with themed games in place of many of

142-441: A baton from Naveen . The game's representation of the park contains numerous secrets for players to discover. Among other secrets, players could use their items to find trash cans, manhole covers, lights, plants, and Hidden Mickeys . Licensed attractions such as Star Tours – The Adventures Continue and Indiana Jones Adventure do not appear and have their facades stripped of any overt references to their namesake franchises, as

213-707: A mouse and keyboard . The new version was released on October 31, 2017, as Disneyland Adventures , removing the Kinect branding from the title. The Windows version was released for Steam and retail discs in September 2018, adding support for Windows 7 , Windows 8 , and Windows 8.1 along with Windows 10. Gameplay is a combination of minigames and open world play style. Players perform objectives and tasks for characters to gain Disney currency. It features drop-in, drop-out cooperative play for two players. Players play as

284-422: A physics engine , the game's open-world also integrates a chemistry engine, "which governs the physical properties of certain objects and how they relate to each other", rewarding experimentation. Nintendo has described the game's approach to open-world design as "open-air". Wave (gesture) The waving of the hand is a nonverbal gesture that has an unclear origin but is said to date back to as far as

355-406: A believable world. Most 4X and roguelike games make use of procedural generation to some extent to generate game levels. SpeedTree is an example of a developer-oriented tool used in the development of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and aimed at speeding up the level design process. Procedural generation also made it possible for the developers of Elite , David Braben and Ian Bell, to fit

426-400: A common way of properly addressing one another in the military setting. An alternate origin is through ASL in the 1800s, where waving handkerchiefs was a way to show approval or excitement or to call attention for deaf people, which is known as the "Chautauqua salute." It is recorded during a Canadian event in 1884 that multiple attendees forgot their handkerchief and so waved their hands in

497-427: A customizable child guest to the park, who gets help from a magic, anthropomorphic golden ticket. The game is controlled using the Kinect sensor's motion-sensing and speech recognition capabilities, with the 2017 remaster using an Xbox Wireless Controller or a mouse and keyboard as options. With the Kinect, player navigation in the park is performed by raising one arm out in front of the (leading) player and shifting

568-633: A dancing cutscene with the character). However, autographs can only be signed if players have the corresponding autograph books, and photographs can only be taken once players receive the camera item and the corresponding snapshot photo albums . In addition, the New Orleans Square character Fortune Red—a fortune teller machine —can only give or help players with tasks, or take a photograph with them. In addition to characters, attractions and shops, players can find spots to conduct music with park bands and Audio-Animatronics , but only after receiving

639-408: A design, in contrast to a linear progression, and needs to be a factor in the game's development from its onset. Heir opined that some of the critical failings of Andromeda were due to the open world being added late in development. Some open-world games, to guide the player towards major story events, do not provide the world's entire map at the start of the game, but require the player to complete

710-618: A key influence, calling it "basically Elite in a city", and mentioned other team members being influenced by Syndicate and Mercenary . Grand Theft Auto III combined elements from previous games, and fused them together into a new immersive 3D experience that helped define open-world games for a new generation. Executive producer Sam Houser described it as " Zelda meets Goodfellas ", while producer Dan Houser also cited The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 as influences. Radio stations had been implemented earlier in games such as Maxis ' SimCopter (1996),

781-714: A large and diverse world, offering tasks and possibilities to play. In the Assassin's Creed series, which began in 2007, players explore historic open-world settings. These include the Holy Land during the Third Crusade in Assassin's Creed , Renaissance Italy in Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood , Constantinople during the rise of the Ottoman Empire in Revelations , New England during

852-598: A regal wave, pageant wave, parade wave, or Miss America wave, is a similar but distinct kind of hand waving gesture in which a person executes something alternatively described as either a 'plastic grin' with 'fingers cupped' and 'forearm swaying side-to-side' or a "vertical hand with a slight twist from the wrist". The gesture is often performed, to various degrees, by different members of the British royal family, signaling anything from regality, class and control to elegance, restraint and character. In Western culture, waving

923-417: A series of smaller levels, or a level with more linear challenges. Reviewers have judged the quality of an open world based on whether there are interesting ways for the player to interact with the broader level when they ignore their main objective. Some games actually use real settings to model an open world, such as New York City . A major design challenge is to balance the freedom of an open world with

994-569: A similar open-world design. Mercenary (1985) has been cited as the first open world 3D action-adventure game . There were also other open-world games in the 1980s, such as Back to Skool (1985), Turbo Esprit (1986) and Alternate Reality: The City (1985). Wasteland , released in 1988, is also considered an open-world game. The early 1990s saw open-world games such as The Terminator (1990), The Adventures of Robin Hood (1991), and Hunter (1991), which IGN describes as

1065-594: A single, unified scale, with towns and other places represented as icons; this style was adopted by the first three Dragon Quest games, released from 1986 to 1988 in Japan. Early examples of open-world gameplay in adventure games include The Portopia Serial Murder Case (1983) and The Lords of Midnight (1984), with open-world elements also found in The Hobbit (1982) and Valhalla (1983). The strategy video game , The Seven Cities of Gold (1984),

1136-622: A task to obtain part of that map, often identifying missions and points of interest when they view the map. This has been derogatorily referred to as " Ubisoft towers", as this mechanic was promoted in Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series (the player climbing a large tower as to observe the landscape around it and identify waypoints nearby) and reused in other Ubisoft games, including Far Cry , Might & Magic X: Legacy and Watch Dogs . Other games that use this approach include Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor , The Legend of Zelda: Breath of

1207-482: A virtual 3.6 billion square kilometers. The Outerra Engine is a world rendering engine in development since 2008 that is capable of seamlessly rendering whole planets from space down to ground level. Anteworld is a world-building game and free tech-demo of the Outerra Engine that builds upon real-world data to render planet Earth realistically on a true-to-life scale. No Man's Sky , released in 2016,

1278-467: A world needs to be. Inverse provides some early examples games that established elements of the open world: Jet Rocket , a 1970 Sega electro-mechanical arcade game that, while not a video game, predated the flight simulator genre to give the player free roaming capabilities, and dnd , a 1975 text-based adventure game for the PLATO system that offered non-linear gameplay. Ars Technica traces

1349-500: Is "the first really good game based on exploration", while noting that it was anticipated by Hydlide , which it argues is "the first RPG that rewarded exploration". According to GameSpot , never "had a game so open-ended, nonlinear, and liberating been released for the mainstream market" before The Legend of Zelda . According to The Escapist , The Legend of Zelda was an early example of open-world, nonlinear gameplay, with an expansive and cohesive world, inspiring many games to adopt

1420-430: Is a virtual world in which the player can approach objectives freely, as opposed to a world with more linear and structured gameplay . Notable games in this category include The Legend of Zelda (1986), Grand Theft Auto V (2013) and Minecraft (2011). Games with open or free-roaming worlds typically lack level structures like walls and locked doors, or the invisible walls in more open areas that prevent

1491-409: Is a different method to say "hello" to an individual. The waving of the hand has multiple variables and styles of performing the gesture. The common waving of the hand to mean "hello" or "goodbye" is done by moving the hand side to side, but there are more than one form of waving, each form having its own meaning. Waving has four variables: the open palm (is the palm curved or straight), the angle of

1562-540: Is a known gesture that means "hello" or "goodbye". That gesture can also be used to call the attention of someone, for example waving down a taxi, or waving at a friend from a great distance. That gesture could be interpreted differently and have a different meaning or even be highly offensive in South Korea, Nigeria, Greece, Bulgaria, Latin American countries, India, Japan, and other places. In Nigeria , waving

1633-594: Is also a risk that players may get lost as they explore an open world; thus designers sometimes try to break the open world into manageable sections. The scope of open-world games requires the developer to fully detail every possible section of the world the player may be able to access, unless methods like procedural generation are used. The design process, due to its scale, may leave numerous game world glitches, bugs, incomplete sections, or other irregularities that players may find and potentially take advantage of. The term "open world jank" has been used to apply to games where

1704-475: Is also cited as an early open-world game, influencing Sid Meier's Pirates! (1987). Eurogamer also cites British computer games such as Ant Attack (1983) and Sabre Wulf (1984) as early examples. According to Game Informer ' s Kyle Hilliard, Hydlide (1984) and The Legend of Zelda (1986) were among the first open-world games, along with Ultima . IGN traces the roots of open-world game design to The Legend of Zelda , which it argues

1775-488: Is an open-world game set in a virtually infinite universe. According to the developers, through procedural generation , the game is able to produce more than 18 quintillion ( 18 × 10 or 18,000,000,000,000,000,000) planets to explore. Several critics found that the nature of the game can become repetitive and monotonous, with the survival gameplay elements being lackluster and tedious. Jake Swearingen in New York said that

1846-462: Is often used to generate game levels and other content. While procedural generation does not guarantee that a game or sequence of levels is nonlinear, it is an important factor in reducing game development time and opens up avenues making it possible to generate larger and more or less unique seamless game worlds on the fly and using fewer resources. This kind of procedural generation is known as worldbuilding , in which general rules are used to construct

1917-456: Is rooted in flight simulators, such as SubLOGIC's Flight Simulator (1979/80), noting most flight sims "offer a 'free flight' mode that allows players to simply pilot the aircraft and explore the virtual world". Others trace the concept back to 1981 CRPG Ultima , which had a free-roaming overworld map inspired by tabletop RPG Dungeons & Dragons . The overworld maps of the first five Ultima games, released up to 1988, lacked

1988-551: Is that it provides a simulated reality and allows players to develop their character and its behavior in the direction and pace of their own choosing. In these cases, there is often no concrete goal or end to the game, although there may be the main storyline, such as with games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim . An open world is a level or game designed as nonlinear , open areas with many ways to reach an objective. Some games are designed with both traditional and open-world levels. An open world facilitates greater exploration than

2059-443: Is to raise one's hand and repeatedly move the fingers downward toward the palm. A variant known as the wiggly wave consists of holding the hand near shoulder level and wiggling the fingers randomly. This can be used to appear cute or flirtatious to the target of the wave. The gesture can be used to attract attention at a distance. Most commonly, though, the gesture means quite simply "hello" or "goodbye. The royal wave, also known as

2130-805: Is what made SimCity and The Sims compelling to players. Similarly, being able to freely interact with the city's inhabitants in Grand Theft Auto added an extra dimension to the series. In recent years game designers have attempted to encourage emergent play by providing players with tools to expand games through their own actions. Examples include in-game web browsers in EVE Online and The Matrix Online ; XML integration tools and programming languages in Second Life ; shifting exchange rates in Entropia Universe ; and

2201-1302: The American Revolution in Assassin's Creed III , the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy in Black Flag , the North Atlantic during the French and Indian War in Rogue , Paris during the French Revolution in Unity , London at the onset of the Second Industrial Revolution in Syndicate , Ptolemaic Egypt in Origins , Classical Greece during the Peloponnesian War in Odyssey , and Medieval England and Norway during

2343-507: The Grand Theft Auto series as early steps in that direction. Peter Molyneux has also stated that he believes emergence (or emergent gameplay ) is where video game development is headed in the future. He has attempted to implement emergent gameplay to a great extent in some of his games, particularly Black & White and Fable . Procedural generation refers to content generated algorithmically rather than manually, and

2414-813: The Viking Age in Valhalla . The series intertwines factual history with a fictional storyline. In the fictional storyline, the Templars and the Assassins , two secret organisations inspired by their real-life counterparts, have been mortal enemies for all of known history. Their conflict stems from the Templars' desire to have peace through control, which directly contrasts the Assassins' wish for peace with free will. Their fighting influences much of history, as

2485-402: The 18th century in the form of a saluting . Prior to the 18th century, knights removed the guard of their helmets to show their identity, followed with a salute to show that they came in peace; saluting is also used to show others that they are not armed with weapons and do not pose a threat. The action of saluting was formalised only in the 1780s by European armies, since then, it has become

2556-399: The 1920s", and considered genuinely open-ended stories to be the "Holy Grail" for the fifth generation of gaming. Gameplay designer Manveer Heir, who worked on Mass Effect 3 and Mass Effect Andromeda for Electronic Arts , said that there are difficulties in the design of an open-world game since it is difficult to predict how players will approach solving gameplay challenges offered by

2627-533: The Wild , and Marvel's Spider-Man . Rockstar games like GTA IV and the Red Dead Redemption series lock out sections of the map as "barricaded by law enforcement" until a specific point in the story has been reached. Games with open worlds typically give players infinite lives or continues , although some force the player to start from the beginning should they die too many times. There

2698-692: The ability to beat or kill non-player characters date back to games such as The Portopia Serial Murder Case (1983), and Valhalla (1983) and the way in which players run over pedestrians and get chased by police has been compared to Pac-Man (1980). After the release of Grand Theft Auto III , many games which employed a 3D open world, such as Ubisoft 's Watch Dogs and Deep Silver 's Saints Row series, were labeled, often disparagingly, as Grand Theft Auto clones , much as how many early first-person shooters were called " Doom clones". Other examples include World of Warcraft , The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series of games, which feature

2769-468: The ability to choose how to approach the game and its challenges in the order and manner as the player desires while still constrained by gameplay rules. Examples of high level of autonomy in computer games can be found in massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) or in single-player games adhering to the open-world concept such as the Fallout series. The main appeal of open-world gameplay

2840-412: The air as a way to clap during the event. In modern days, the accepted and common way for deaf individuals to applaud is raising hands in the air and simultaneously shaking their open hand and moving their fingers back and forth. Sign language users also wave for "hello" and "goodbye." For an ASL user, saying "goodbye" is done by repeatedly opening and closing the right hand, and it faces the receiver of

2911-572: The air to bring up an item selection menu and bring the arm down to make a selection. After selecting an item, the (leading) player uses the arm with the item on hand to use said item and their free arm to navigate the park. Players can talk to the characters, enter attractions, or enter gift shops by walking up to them until a gold circle appears on the ground around the character, Disneyland sign (for rideable classic rides), magic portal (for rides featuring minigames), or store greeter (for shops), then either wave or say, "Hi there!" When talking to any of

2982-513: The characters (except for a park guide character named Karen, who provides trivia about Disneyland), they may give a task (usually a fetch quest ) that players must do by either navigating the park or playing the minigame attractions. Players can also hug, high five (or shake hands depending on the character), dance, receive autographs from, or take photos with the characters, again via motion gestures or voice prompts (e.g. to dance, players can either bow over or say, "Shall we dance?" to trigger

3053-537: The complex object-and-grammar system used to solve puzzles in Scribblenauts . Other examples of emergence include interactions between physics and artificial intelligence. One challenge that remains to be solved, however, is how to tell a compelling story using only emergent technology. In an op-ed piece for BBC News , David Braben , co-creator of Elite , called truly open-ended game design "The Holy Grail" of modern video gaming, citing games like Elite and

3124-425: The concept back to the free-roaming exploration of 1976 text adventure game Colossal Cave Adventure , which inspired the free-roaming exploration of Adventure (1980), but notes that it was not until 1984 that what "we now know as open-world gaming" took on a "definite shape" with 1984 space simulator Elite , considered a pioneer of the open world; Gamasutra argues that its open-ended sandbox style

3195-431: The deaf use the hand wave to greet one another. Deaf women use an "open palms up half moon shape" type of wave to greet one another. Men, however, use a different way of greeting one another or women. In Latin American countries, people greet one another by kissing, hugging or shaking hands. Waving their hand is uncommon, but it neither has any negative representation nor causes offense. In Nicaragua , waving to someone

3266-451: The entire game—including thousands of planets, dozens of trade commodities, multiple ship types and a plausible economic system—into less than 22 kilobytes of memory. More recently, No Man's Sky procedurally generated over 18 quintillion planets including flora, fauna, and other features that can be researched and explored. There is no consensus on what the earliest open-world game is, due to differing definitions of how large or open

3337-403: The first sandbox game to feature full 3D, third-person graphics, and Ars Technica argues "has one of the strongest claims to the title of GTA forebear". Sierra On-Line 's 1992 adventure game King's Quest VI has an open world; almost half of the quests are optional, many have multiple solutions, and players can solve most in any order. Atari Jaguar launch title, Cybermorph (1993),

3408-427: The game environment, either because of absolute technical limitations or in-game limitations imposed by a game's linearity. While the openness of the game world is an important facet to games featuring open worlds, the main draw of open-world games is about providing the player with autonomy —not so much the freedom to do anything they want in the game (which is nearly impossible with current computing technology), but

3479-427: The game. The combination of open world and sandbox mechanics can lead towards emergent gameplay , complex reactions that emerge (either expectedly or unexpectedly) from the interaction of relatively simple game mechanics. According to Peter Molyneux , emergent gameplay appears wherever a game has a good simulation system that allows players to play in the world and have it respond realistically to their actions. It

3550-470: The gesture. This method is used to say "goodbye" to a group of people; saying "goodbye" to an individual is done with a different method. Saying "hello" is done by the traditional waving of the right hand. "Hello" is also communicated in ASL with an open palm salute starting at the forehead and moving down to the waist. This method is used to say "hello" to a group of people, likewise with implying "goodbye", there

3621-504: The hand with the palm facing out whilst having the fingers stretched is an insult, rather than a greeting. This is offensive and dates back to the Byzantine times, when moutza would involve prisoners' faces being tainted with charcoal by their own hands and being forced to parade down town streets, moutza . In American culture, holding the hand out like that can be used to call someone's attention or to greet someone. In Ireland ,

3692-414: The hand with the palm facing outward in front of someone's face is highly offensive and should be avoided. In China , women greet other women by waving. In Japan , hand waving while the palm is kept outward and near the face is a gesture used to display confusion or that the individual waving does not know or understand. In Europe , there are two different common forms of waving: the palm-show and

3763-426: The incorporation of the open world gameplay elements may be poor, incomplete, or unnecessary to the game itself such that these glitches and bugs become more apparent, though are generally not game-breaking, such as the case for No Man's Sky near its launch. The mechanics of open-world games are often overlapped with ideas of sandbox games , but these are considered different concepts. Whereas open world refers to

3834-426: The lack of limits for the player's exploration of the game's world, sandbox games are based on the ability of giving the player tools for creative freedom within the game to approach objectives, if such objectives are present. For example, Microsoft Flight Simulator is an open-world game as one can fly anywhere within the mapped world, but is not considered a sandbox game as there are few creative aspects brought into

3905-1014: The meetable characters themselves, Black Barty serves as an in-game replacement for Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, appearing in New Orleans Square and in the minigames based on the attraction . In addition, all mentions of corporate sponsors (such as Dole , whose Dole Whip is sold at Adventureland ) are omitted. Kinect: Disneyland Adventures received an average score of 71.77% at GameRankings , based on an aggregate of 22 reviews, and an average of 73/100 at Metacritic , based on an aggregate of 33 reviews. The Xbox One Disneyland Adventures remaster received an average of 64.29% on GameRankings, based on an aggregate of 7 reviews, and an average of 67/100 on Metacritic, based on an aggregate of 9 reviews, with

3976-574: The minigames, such as Tinker Bell from Peter Pan as she appears in the Disney Fairies franchise and Nemo from Finding Nemo . Microsoft later published a remastered version of the game for Xbox One and Windows 10 developed by Asobo Studio with updated visuals, 4K resolution , support for the Xbox One's Kinect sensor, and the ability to play the game with traditional controls using an Xbox Wireless Controller or (on Windows only)

4047-447: The more structured approach of most open-world games, Breath of the Wild features a large and fully interactive world that is generally unstructured and rewards the exploration and manipulation of its world. Inspired by the original 1986 Legend of Zelda , the open world of Breath of the Wild integrates multiplicative gameplay, where "objects react to the player's actions and the objects themselves also influence each other". Along with

4118-736: The originator of the "open city" subgenre, touted as a "FREE" ("Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment") game giving players the freedom to explore an expansive sandbox city with its own day-night cycles , changing weather, and fully voiced non-player characters going about their daily routines. The game's large interactive environments, wealth of options, level of detail and the scope of its urban sandbox exploration has been compared to later sandbox games like Grand Theft Auto III and its sequels, Sega's own Yakuza series, Fallout 3 , and Deadly Premonition . Grand Theft Auto has had over 200 million sales. Creative director Gary Penn, who previously worked on Frontier: Elite II , cited Elite as

4189-422: The palm-hide. The palm-show is dominant across most of Europe, but Italy predominantly uses the palm-hide wave. Waving the hand to say "hello" or "goodbye" is done by moving the fingers down towards the wrist and back to an open palm position while keeping the palm facing out. Another way to say "goodbye" is done by wagging the fingers. That motion (wagging fingers) is also used to say "no." In Greece , waving

4260-495: The player can go from one sector to another, depending on required quests or just by choice. In 2011, Dan Ryckert of Game Informer wrote that open-world crime games were "a major force" in the gaming industry for the preceding decade. Another popular sandbox game is Minecraft , which has since become the best-selling video game of all time , selling over 238 million copies worldwide on multiple platforms by April 2021. Minecraft ' s procedurally generated overworlds cover

4331-458: The player from venturing beyond them; only at the bounds of an open-world game will players be limited by geographic features like vast oceans or impassable mountains. Players typically do not encounter loading screens common in linear level designs when moving about the game world, with the open-world game using strategic storage and memory techniques to load the game world dynamically and seamlessly. Open-world games still enforce many restrictions in

4402-436: The player that do not disrupt the main storyline. Most open-world games make the character a blank slate that players can project their own thoughts onto, although several games such as Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole offer more character development and dialogue. Writing in 2005, David Braben described the narrative structure of current video games as "little different to the stories of those Harold Lloyd films of

4473-404: The players can procedurally generate 18.6 quintillion unique planets, but they can't procedurally generate 18.6 quintillion unique things to do. Updates have aimed to address these criticisms. In 2017, the open-world design of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was described by critics as being revolutionary and by developers as a paradigm shift for open-world design. In contrast to

4544-410: The raised arm left or right to turn. When the (leading) player receives items from a character (which include a digital camera from Mickey Mouse, a magic wand from Cinderella , a laser blaster from Buzz Lightyear , a fishing rod from Stinky Pete , a megaphone from Br'er Fox , a magic spyglass from Aladdin , and a water squirter from Donald Duck), the (leading) player can raise one arm in

4615-511: The remaster criticized for a number of technical issues and introducing no new content from the original release besides the additional control schemes and improved graphics. During the 15th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards , the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated Disneyland Adventures for " Family Game of the Year ". Open world In video games , an open world

4686-567: The rides, while motion controls are used (required in the original release) to play the game. In addition to minigames based on various Disneyland attractions, the game allows players to take photos of their avatars at the park, and meet and greet characters. The characters appear in their normal proportions, as if animated, as opposed to appearing as a costumed character . Outdoors at the park are characters including Mickey Mouse , Minnie Mouse , Donald Duck , Daisy Duck , Goofy , Pluto and Chip 'n' Dale . Other Disney characters appear within

4757-565: The sides often back real historical forces. For example, during the American Revolution depicted in Assassin's Creed III , the Templars initially support the British, while the Assassins side with the American colonists. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl was developed by GSC Game World in 2007, followed by two other games, a prequel and a sequel. The free world style of the zone was divided into huge maps, like sectors, and

4828-421: The structure of a dramatic storyline. Since players may perform actions that the game designer did not expect , the game's writers must find creative ways to impose a storyline on the player without interfering with their freedom. As such, games with open worlds will sometimes break the game's story into a series of missions, or have a much simpler storyline altogether. Other games instead offer side-missions to

4899-536: The two franchises were owned by Lucasfilm at the time. Disney later acquired both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises through its purchase of Lucasfilm in 2012. Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin and Tarzan's Treehouse are also omitted, as Roger Rabbit is co-owned by Disney and Steven Spielberg 's Amblin Entertainment , while Tarzan remains the property of Edgar Rice Burroughs ' estate. Among

4970-508: The wave (big waves or short waves), the elevation of the hand (above the head or held low), and the movement pattern of the wave (sideways rotation, up and down motion, side to side motion). There are different ways to wave the hand; some include the standard side-to-side wave, palm wide wave, wiggly wave (finger wiggle wave), "flirtatious" wave, open-and close finger wave, arm wave, and the "Miss America" wave. People wave by raising their hand and moving it from side to side. Another common wave

5041-937: Was notable for its open 3D polygonal-world and non-linear gameplay. Quarantine (1994) is an example of an open-world driving game from this period, while Iron Soldier (1994) is an open-world mech game.
