# 4X

Bir 4X oyunu örneği
**4X oyunları**, strateji oyun türünün bir çeşididir. "**4X**" tabiri, İngilizce olan 4 kelimeden gelmektedir: **"eXplore, eXpand, eXploit ve eXterminate"** (Türkçe: Keşfet, Yayıl, Sömür, Yoket).

## Tanım

* Keşfet: Oyuncular keşif erlerini harita üzerinde gezdirerek, oyunun başlangıcında kapalı(karanlık) olan bölgeleri açarlar.
* Yayıl: Oyuncular yeni yerleşim alanları oluşturarak veya mevcut yerleşimlerini geliştirerek, yeni bölgeler edinirler.
* Sömür: Oyuncular kontrol ettikleri bölgelerdeki yer altı ve yer üstü kaynakları toplarlar ve verimi artırmak için bunları kullanırlar.
* Yoket: Amaç, rakip oyunculara saldırarak onları oyundan elemektir.

## Oyun

Bu tür strateji oyunları 2 ye ayrılırlar: Sıra tabanlı ve gerçek zamanlı.
Sıra tabanlı oyunda, bir oyuncu kendi sırası geldiğinde sınırlı bir hareket yaptıktan sonra sırası gelen diğer oyuncunun hareketini bitirmesi bekler.

Gerçek zamanlı oyunda, tüm oyuncular aynı anda oynarlar ve belli bir hareket sınırlaması yoktur.
