What does a good game consist of? (part 15)

Lesson in physics

I think distinction of whether game physics will be real or fantasy/sci-fi is an important to make.
This is in my opinion an important aspect of a good game.


Either way gravity is a law of gravity you just have to understand and same goes formula.
It's good if you know about friction, fraction, quantum physics, and most importantly, even relativity of time, and electricity works.

Gravity is important in space games as well.

How much do you remember of this from high-school? Either way if you remember a good deal or not, this is an important reason why you should Wikipedia and Google for thorough research on math, chemistry, physics, literature, art, music and poetry.

This is the lesson I tried to get across: research your problems and you'll have much better chances at making a game. That and if you're still in school/college, don't cheat at tests and actually listen to the professor: so keep learning, no matter how much you have mastered something.

A good game is the one which teaches of many different areas of life. And being a learner gives you a good chance of making the game lesson-giving.

To conclude, physics teach us how the universe works. Also for you to be a life-long learner

Level design basics, part 2

An arch level design is hard, as it doesn't involve only polygon boxes, but also also three dimensional curve lines. If you ever played. Americas army 1, you'll know how hard it is to make a curve building, like the famous over played bridge crossing map. The point is to start. With one curve. Curve is not a straight line, but it's still a line. Means it is possible to apply lines into a three dimensional level. arch 0 0 1 0

Level design basics, part 7

Meta files Meta means in between. Wild hard ware and soft ware connection. A game design level document is just documentation; it is normal text. Actual level files however are en coded. Not normal text, in other words; which is why they are a lot harder to make. Forests for example are hard to put into a text file. Trees are real world eco systems that are the source of nature and life. It is one thing to put a real world object into a game, what is even a LOT harder is putting one, for example a tree into a text file. Source code is just sofware, it is nothing but encoded writing, which is why to put it into soft ware is not exactly easy, but has been done many times before. However, putting source code directly into hard ware is a completely different thing. That's where meta files come in handy. Meta files are clay ware. They work very similiar to a human brain. Like a connection between software and hardware. A meta file contains level game design documentation and level code....

Coding

I find it extremely hard to code a game. It gets worse than that. I also have to do the game design, UI design, level design and the story. Basically lots of bugs, lots to learn, lots to design. The good news is I have a teammate and she works on level design and story. Helps a lot regardless there is tons of work to be done before even first of the three Trix games gets published. I sometimes work even 12 hours a day. Yikes!
