What does a good game consist of? (part 3)

Part 3 discusses how to create good patterns as we now know games have to be complex.

Making interesting patterns

To learn something, the object of learning has to be interesting enough to really internalize it.
But how do you actually internalize? Through my life and study of the brain I realized conscious realization is far superior to forming habits.

The patterns which are most interesting to learn are those who are interesting. On one side there is consciously and deliberately learning new lessons. Habits on the other hand are friend of routine, and routine is the enemy of intelligence.

In real life you can do this by turning your life into an exciting adventure by having a playful and learning attitude towards your every day chores and tasks.

How would you design and implement interesting patterns in games? My process with regard game design is to make a dynamic quest system(in case the game is a role-playing game) so there's not only non-linear story but multiple ways of replaying on a higher difficulty. On a programmer's behalf this would require a lot of collaboration.

If the game was a first person shooter, however, perhaps reward teamwork and planning(latter in the case of organized clan matches).

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....

Information files

Binary code is very important in the game development. It translates basically any programming language into hardware code. Information files are used for computer system manage ment. The information is used in operating system function, and the operating system being used for a video game heavily affects the hardware with which the game is being used with. The hardware affects the software code functions, which connect with wiring directly to the source code of the game's bug executable. Without information, data cannot operate and cannot be used. Information files are mostly used as .sys or system files. They do not imply actual operating system data however.  Information and data files consist a level. They structure it, and restructure and make it constantly increasingly consistent. Which means consistency brings more stable three dimensional data banks. At the top of the computer frame work, this results in more stable game servers and three dimensional game engine functions. ...
