MDA Framework

The MDA Framework stands for Mechanics, Dynamics, and Aesthetics. It's a way to analyze games and interactive experiences. **Mechanics** refer to the rules and systems that define how a game operates. **Dynamics** describe how these mechanics interact with players and evolve during gameplay. **Aesthetics** capture the emotional responses and experiences players have while engaging with the game. Together, these three components help designers understand how to create enjoyable and engaging experiences by balancing their systems and player interactions with the intended emotional impact.
