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).

static mesh render

Static mesh is a data compound of a three dimensional object in time and space. To render one, it takes a one big storage file that contains all the data about the object. That data has to be stored on a disk drive. The really tricky meshes to render are the flying ones. It's a completely different air pressure. The data gets written to a game memory log, it's a massive multiplayer online game, otherwise in the cloud, like Steam. To render one, the data from the level and monster data files to the monitor handling chip. Monitor handling chips vary based on personal computers, lap tops, operating system, processor and graphics car. Before a three dimensional object can be rendered it has to be fixed on memory, either random access memory or the disk drive recovery point. A three dimensional object data can take quite a large amount of memory, especially those used multiple times. Steam Cloud has it's own of handling data, so that it is persistent. A level is made of static m...

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

object render

To render objects with c++, it is first required to load them on the engine's heap. After loading the object it has to be integrated into the game engine's allocated memory. void integrate() {     direct_x_node.call(); } Modern games(after doom 2) take an insane amount of heap memory. Integrating all the objects on the level, can take 400 mb or random access memory (ram). The same memory has the chip effect on the working of the central processing unit. To completely render the object, the first step is to load all the textures, shadow models, parts, particles, inner model, render the object on the level map, all the corelations with the heuristics. It is very hard to render the inner part of the objects, such as anatomy or infra structure. While it is perfectly fine to just render the inner part to not be displayed.  The anatomy of a player character or non player can be seen on the outside, and the internal strurcture of a level object such as a building, including the ...
