Axes (Video Games)

In video games, "axes" refer to the dimensions or directions in which gameplay elements can move or be controlled. Typically, the X-axis represents horizontal movement (left to right), while the Y-axis denotes vertical movement (up and down). In three-dimensional games, a Z-axis is added, allowing movement forward and backward. Each axis gives players a way to navigate and interact with the game world, affecting how characters move, how perspectives change, and how gameplay unfolds. Understanding axes helps players better control their actions and appreciate the spatial dynamics within a game.
