| Description | One of the most distinctive aspects of a roguelike game is time-equivalency of actions. Moving a step, picking up an item, dropping an item, hitting an opponent, drinking a potion, reading a scroll, wielding a weapon, putting on or removing armor or a ring, and zapping with a wand: all of these things take the same amount of time, that is to say, one turn. A real person rummaging through his pack for a particular item will probably spend more time unslinging it, setting it down, opening the flap and getting out the needed item than it would take him to walk across one space's worth of dungeon floor. Player-centered is the simplest and oldest system. Rogue used it, the Mystery Dungeon games and Izuna use it, and some other popular roguelikes used it early in their history.
