A narrow depression, perforation, or groove, especially one for receiving something such as a coin or a letter. Also, a period of time in a schedule or sequence. He scheduled his haircut for 2 p.m., which was a great slot for him.
A space in a computer’s memory or disk where a particular type of object can be stored. For example, a game may offer four slots for saving game data.
Another meaning of the word is an assigned position or place in a hierarchy, such as the chief copy editor’s slot at the Gazette. This sense of the word originated in a 19th-century variant of five-card draw poker in which players contributed an ante prior to each deal, and a hand with a pair of jacks or better opened the bidding. The meaning has since broadened to describe any situation in which winnings accumulate over a period of time before being paid out, such as on a slot machine or lottery game.
Your slot game art and wireframes show how your game looks statically, but it’s not the finished product yet. The next step is to create a prototype or minimum viable product (MVP). Your developers code the basic structure of your game and build a version that shows how it will look to players. After the prototype is complete, your artists can finish the rest of the game’s art. Then, your team will begin testing and QAing your game to make sure it works as intended.
