Add an action item to one of your subsequent lists or create a new one. Some sources do not distinguish between an action point to be applied to a deformable body and a line of action to be used for a rigid body, but rather use the action point for both. An action element, commonly abbreviated AP, is a point in games to determine how much action a video game player, unit, or character can perform in a single turn. In computer and video games, they are mainly used in the turn-based tactical genre. A major difference from health points and magic points is that action points in battle are automatically restored over time and not with items, as health points and magic points are usually recovered. Each action consumes a certain amount of AP. An appliance cannot perform any action if there are not enough access points. If the device has zero access points, it is the turn of this unit. However, the player may end the unit`s turn prematurely.

When it is that player`s turn again, AP will be replenished. The access point can be partially or completely restored, and in some games, recovery can push the device`s access point above the maximum limit that the device normally has. Using the turn-based tactical genre as an example: units, both those of the player and those of the enemy, are placed on a map of an area. The two parts take turns moving all the characters at their disposal. When an access point system is in place, both parties use the access point. It`s the player`s turn.
