What is the difference between "Continuous game" and "turn-based game" ?

This article does not contribute any new information

I agree the article does not define its terms clearly, nor does it make it clear wheather a "Continuous game" has to be a computer game, or could be a game with no computers. For example, basketball is mostly a continuous game; it does not have "at-bats" like baseball, nor does it have "downs" like American football.

I would guess that if a computer game simulates some non-computer activity, and proceeds at the same pace as the non-computer activity, and furthermore, does not impose any breaks or turns that are not present in the non-computer activity, then it is a continuous game. --Gerry Ashton 02:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
