Tell me how you would describe

You're right, to a point. A line though, as long as it's characteristics are uniform, could be a 1D object. Once any slice that represents the line is given a unique characteristic, then the slice of the line exists in more than the requisite way needed to represent the object on a 2 dimensional display. My previous example still holds, but one can also not have different colors on a single object.

I had pondered little bits on the subject a while ago, deciding that to make any 1D game interesting, the lack of visual/spatial dimensions would simply have to be made up for in the interactivity of audio and tensile interaction with the user.

Then while reading a bunch of essays on different theory unrelated to this I thought "How to beat a 1D game" would be an awesome title for an essay/article.

Edit: man, I thought we had a plugin/patch that alerted users that new posts had been made since they checked the thread to prevent responding to the wrong post.

Google Z-rox. Therein lies the answer.

It's only 1D in the way all 3D games on televisions are 2D, it has you conceive of higher dimension in a lower one. In this case, it represents 2D objects to you using one spatial dimension, and time.

Very interesting though, thank you for the link.
