Difference between misc multiplayer and turn modes; games with 2 players only

[marenja]

What is the difference between 'Cooperative' & 'Teamplay' multiplayer modes ?
What is the difference between turn modes 'Alternating' & 'Turn based' ?

Code: Select all

multiplayer mode
(7001, 'Cooperative', NULL, NULL, 'Y', NULL),
(7002, 'Teamplay', NULL, NULL, 'Y', NULL),
(7003, 'Versus', NULL, NULL, 'Y', NULL),

Code: Select all

turn mode
(8001, 'Alternating', NULL, NULL, 'N', NULL),
(8002, 'Simultaneous', NULL, NULL, 'N', NULL),
(8003, 'Turn based', NULL, NULL, 'N', NULL),

Some games have no singleplayer option. Basicaly tactical ones with no computer AI. And I can remind only one action game without singleplayer option, Silk Worm. How can they be found, are they marked with any flag value?

Multiplayer Modes:

• Versus: Each player by itself against everybody else
• Cooperative: All players together against the computer
• Teamplay: Players grouped in teams against each other

Turn Modes:

• Simultaneous: Everybody plays at the same time (for instance realtime strategy games)
• Turn based: Each player gets a limited number of moves, then it's the turn of the next player (for instance turn-based strategy or board games)
• Alternating: Each player can play without limit until it dies, then the next player can do the same (for instance most shoot-em-ups)

We currently don't have a way to identify games without singleplayer.
