What does a good game consist of? (part 9)

Immersion

I believe immersion is rare to get by these days. But considering it is an ecstatic state(I was in such a state three times and can guarantee if feels good) we should at least explore it.

How can we better immerse ourselves? You can immerse yourself in your work, observing art, while listening to music, in enjoying the texture and taste of good food, but most importantly for us, in a video game.

How many times have you really immerse yourself in one? Me neither. But jokes aside, I have never really been immersed by a video game. No lies.

Since it's such a good feeling, let's take a look at how we could better immerse ourselves in a game:
-drink some water while playing, I don't think there's another substance(except energy itself) which can stimulate our brains positively as much
-daydream about our games
-try to find some inspiration in a game for an artwork we are doing
-make your life an adventure(do things you like, have a playful attitude, read, exercise, try new stuff, do things which we pump you with adrenaline)

What can we say about immersion then? I'm not sure if it's really a necessary component in a game, but damn it feels good. I hope I'll get another immersion minute soon.

object oriented programming

Object oriented programming is a sound and bold approach to c++ and internet wiring application and video games. It reduces a lot of code messes, made by global and half global functions. One of the more advanced object programming techniques are private access, poly morph and object message inheritance. It is set by c++ bjarne stroustrup and iso isometric standard convention comitee to use classes instead of structs and structures for making objects. Which means you most definitely should , but not must or have to. class Monster {     std::string memory_attributes{}; public:     void treck();     void track();     void trace(); }; The treck() function makes the monster roam and do human like jogging and trimming. track() means the monster goes ai path tracking and trace() means it tries to find other monsters in the area. class Weapon {     std::string memory_attributes{}; public:    void use(); }; void Weapon::use() {   ...

Coding and game development, part 2

 Consider the following C++ sample: int main() {     std::cout << template_1() << '\n';     return 1;      } Every moron who knows C++ would know what this means. Now consider that almost every line is a regular expression, so try to translate it into your native language, English for example; line by line in steps. ... rofl lol oO? I tried to do that with the example and my head almost had a system shutdown.

object render, part 4

Object is either two dimensional, or three dimensional. Even abstract ones. People imagine c++ game objects as a part of a class on a graph chart, to understand the game and development mechanics. But they are really two dimensional, iso metric or three dimensional. They can be seen on the level or the level map, in other words, about 90% of used classes. Even server objects can be seen on the game, if there is any blue print or underlying real world net working mechanism. So in other words, the class objects can be used in game. They have to be dimensional. //PvE class Monster {     std::vector<int>  head_memory{};     std::vector<int> body_particles{}; public:     int get_memory(int element);     int get_particles(int element);     int get_head_memory_size();;     int get_body_particles_size(); }; Monster's head memory is used for AI render, the body particles list is used for rendering. 60 frames per second...
