Let's say you have 4 games, with this categories set to them:
Game1: All, Action, Adventure
Game2: All, Action, Platformer
Game3: All, Action, Puzzle, Reflexion
Game4: All, Puzzle
Now go to the Categories filtering menu.
You will have these option to filter your games:
- Enabled categories: (Use only this if you don't understand the other features)
Action: [√] (enabled)
Adventure: [√] (enabled)
Puzzle: [ ]
It will display Game1, Game2 AND Game3. All of them have either "Action" or "Adventure" enabled.
"Puzzle" is not enabled, so Game4 is not displayed.
- Forbidden categories
Action: [√] (enabled)
Adventure: [ ]
Puzzle: [X] (Forbidden)
It will display Game1 and Game2 only. The Game3 has the Action category, but it contains a forbidden Puzzle category.
- Required categories:
Action: [+] (required)
Adventure: [ ]
Puzzle: [+] (required)
It will display ONLY Game3.
Even if action is part of Game1 and Game2, they are missing the required category Puzzle.
Game4 has Puzzle but is missing the required category Action.
If a game is missing at least 1 required category, then it will not be displayed.
The "required" method takes sense starting with 2 selected categories. If you are only selecting 1 category, it acts like "Enabled".
- Mixed categories
Action: [+] (required)
Adventure: [√] (enabled)
It will display
Game1,
Game2 and
Game3.
You can't require "Action" and add to it an option to "only Enable adventure from the already filtered list".
If you want to display only games with both categories, set "Required" to both Action and Adventure to display
Game1 only.
You can't mix "Required" and "Enabled" categories. If there is a "required" only other required will be verified, the "Enabled" are skipped.
