What does a good game consist of? (part 22)

A Song is a Cure for the Soul

 Music is an essential part of our lives, as it heals emotional wounds. This is no different in games.

The songs in the game don't have to be orchestral, professionally sung and don't need expensive music editing tools and quality music types.

I think good music can significantly increase the quality of the game.

I think Linkin Park has music which could easily belong into action games and action RPGs.

So how would one make a good music for a game? Just select a theme for the song from the game.

A game with a very appropriate music would be Need For Speed Underground 2.

I think music is more imporant in the game than graphics, as it can actually be described in the GDD
(game design document).

Since music heals emotional crysis and helps the hardship of life, it is important for it to be done responsibly which means making quality music.

This returns us to why games have to be quality and lack of thereof can be a threat to human kind:
if all music would be 10/10 which games currently aren't, we would be so mentally healthy.

In conclusion, it is our responsibilty as music makers to make quality music. Games are not different, if they have music in them or not.

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() {   ...

C++ and OOP in a different manner

Keep in mind this article is meant strictly for C++ game devs and not for application programmers or game devs of scripting/other languages. I have my own technique when it comes to OOP in C++. The game I'm deving right now(or we are making) is a simple windows console project. It's up to you to decide whether you'll use this technique. First let me tell you in which cases you might need this technique: if you're ready for a new look on OOP if you need a new toolset for your coding practice if you like to learn(which I clearly hope for) So, the technique then. Decide which you prefer more: classes or structures. This helps you understand what kind of objects you want in a game.
