A warp, also known as a portal or teleporter, is an element in video game design that allows a player character instant travel between two locations or levels. Specific area that allow such travel is referred to as warp zone. A warp zone might be a secret passage, accessible only to players capable of finding it, but they are also commonly used as a primary mean of travel in certain games. Warps might be deliberately installed within puzzles, be used to avoid danger in sections of a game that have been previously accomplished, be something a player can abuse for cheating, or be used as a punishment to a player straying from the "correct" path.

| - Une warp zone, terme anglais signifiant « zone de distorsion », est, dans les jeux vidéo, un lieu permettant de se déplacer dans un niveau ou entre plusieurs niveaux, à la façon d'un moyen de téléportation. Une warp zone est aussi bien vue comme un moyen de reprendre le jeu à un point plus avancé (sans devoir tout refaire), comme un moyen permettant de choisir son niveau, ou comme une astuce permettant d'avancer plus rapidement et d'éviter un passage difficile.

| - Une warp zone, terme anglais signifiant « zone de distorsion », est, dans les jeux vidéo, un lieu permettant de se déplacer dans un niveau ou entre plusieurs niveaux, à la façon d'un moyen de téléportation. Une warp zone est aussi bien vue comme un moyen de reprendre le jeu à un point plus avancé (sans devoir tout refaire), comme un moyen permettant de choisir son niveau, ou comme une astuce permettant d'avancer plus rapidement et d'éviter un passage difficile. Dans le moteur de jeu UnrealEngine, depuis sa version 2, une warp zone est un mécanisme de téléportation dans l'espace. La différence avec un téléporteur est que la distorsion n'est pas visible, graphiquement les deux zones sont jointes, bien que séparées dans l'espace. Ce genre de lieu se retrouve dans la série Super Mario Bros, permettant à certains joueurs d'établir des records de vitesse (ou speedrun). (fr)
- A warp, also known as a portal or teleporter, is an element in video game design that allows a player character instant travel between two locations or levels. Specific area that allow such travel is referred to as warp zone.

Warps might be deliberately installed within puzzles, be used to avoid danger in sections of a game that have been previously accomplished, be something a player can abuse for cheating, or be used as a punishment to a player straying from the "correct" path. In some games, a player can only use warps to travel to locations they have visited before. Because of this, a player has to make the journey by normal route at least once, but are not required to travel the same paths again if they need to revisit earlier areas in the game. Finding warp zones might become a natural goal of a gaming session, being used as a checkpoint. Though it is unclear which video game first made use of teleportation areas or devices, the element has been traced back to MUDs, where it allowed connected rooms to not be "topologically correct" if necessary. The element was later popularized by Super Mario Bros., in which secret areas referred to within the game as warp zones allowed players to skip forward through the game. (en)
