Mechanics are the dictations of how the game works. Health, attacks, currencies, etc, are all mechanics. This portion of the wiki describes how each one affects each other.
Here we discuss some of the basic functions of mechanics that may pertain to more than only Heroes of Hammerwatch.

==Ticks==
Heroes of Hammerwatch's mechanical portions run at a rate of 33ms for every tick, or at a rate of 30fps.
Much of the game is processed in this 30 fps tickrate, such as DoT timers, speed, collision, etc.

==Random Number Generators==
RNGs for short are algorithms within code to generate an uncalculable result.

		+	==Enemy AI==
		+	Enemies use many different strategies to try and kill you, here is a small list of some of the most common ones:
		+	*Attack you from the sides so swinging straight forward won't work as well
		+	*Attack then move from their previous spot so player projectiles miss more often
		+	*Charge straight at you
		+	*Surround you so escape is harder and allow for more enemies to hit you at once
		+	*Attack in groups/call for help, enemies that spot you or are hit will often bring those around them to attack as well
		+	*Summon reinforcements
		+	*Buff nearby enemies in some manner
		+	*Attempts to avoid traps if you aren't nearby
		+	*Goes back to where they were standing if you get too far away
		+
		+	Bosses all have their own AI to keep you on your toes and to ensure you have all your bases covered when it comes to maneuverability and precise movements.

 ==Random Number Generators==
 RNGs are algorithms within code to generate an pseudo-random number that can be used to generate a seemingly random output. This plays a role when deciding what the outcome of "RNG buttons" one may find occasionally in a run will be. Similarly it is used to choose what item tier and item you get from a chest.
