What are multiple actors?

A multiple actor is when more than one person or thing helps make something happen.

Imagine you're building a tower with blocks. You might stack them all by yourself, that’s just one actor. But if your friend joins in, and now both of you are stacking blocks at the same time, then you have two actors working together. Each one is doing their part to make the tower grow taller.

Like a Teamwork Game

Think about playing tag with friends. The person who starts running is one actor. When someone else chases them, that’s another actor. If more people join in, now you’ve got multiple actors all helping to keep the game going.

Sometimes, even things that aren’t people can be actors too! Like a robot helping you clean your room, it's like having a helper friend who never gets tired.

So, when there are multiple actors, it means more than one thing or person is working together to make something happen, just like teamwork in real life.
