-A **Qixote** is a videogame where a player must claim an area of the screen (//playfield, board//) by containing it within a drawn shape. Sides of this shape will consist of the border of the playfield, and/or shapes drawn previously. There will be a large (//boss//) enemy moving around the unclaimed space who will damage a player if it touches an in-progress line; as well as enemies who travel along the finished lines, who will damage a player on collision. Once a set percentage (75% in standard //[[..:Qix]]//) of the playfield is claimed a new level begins, and difficulty increases by the variance of factors such as boss speed, type, and quantity; location of powerups; background image; and so on.+A **Qixote** is a videogame where a player must claim an area of the screen (//playfield, board//) by containing it within a drawn shape.

 Popular variations have the claimed areas revealing an image, which is factored into progression and scoring mechanisms to various degrees; and sometimes bonus points, and powerups (speed increases, ability to shoot, shields, and so forth). Popular variations have the claimed areas revealing an image, which is factored into progression and scoring mechanisms to various degrees; and sometimes bonus points, and powerups (speed increases, ability to shoot, shields, and so forth).
