The majority of modern video games allow the player to control a character who moves through a three dimensional world. The player explores this world and collects objects scattered throughout to progress in the game. Explore and Discover (EaD) provides this core game functionality. A 3D artist can use the simple EaD file format to describe a scene using their models, and the Windows program uses the Microsoft DirectX API to render the scene and allow the character to search for the collectible.
