What does a good game consist of? (part 20)

Programmer's Role in Game Development
-part 2:

Bug-less and Glitch-less Game
It's not remotely easy to make a game which contains zero bugs and cheating glitches, but the rewards are awesome. If you manage to make one, it would mean the players wouldn't ever complain about the game mechanics.

It's one of my goals for my game for it to have bug-less game-play and AI.

AI is especially one of the reasons to make a bug-less game. All games have at least one bug in artificial intelligence which greatly degrades and dumbs the Artificial Intelligence.

On the other hand, a very good AI doesn't include any bugs.

You have to both prioritize your bugs("critical", "essential" and "trivial" in example), and make sure you solve them all.

How do you make a bug-less game then? Not remotely easy, but it involves having a decent amount of alpha/beta testers. Also you need to be persistent, determined and decide fully you're going to have
no bugs.

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. ...
