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() {   ...

What does a good game consist of? (part 35)

Small goals Challenges can quickly get out of hand, proportionally after have been playing the game for a while. That is why it is important to implement game goals as well. This work as a guiding force for challenge motivation. The terms challenge and goal have very different meanings. Imagine a call of duty 2 mission. It is a challenge, but lacks small goals that keep you motivated, and not beat the mission feel bored and drained and sore. Beating a video game is not exactly a small task. Takes accuracy, will, focus, concentration and understanding your opponents(including AI). An example small goal would a chunk of challenge. Like subsystem parts of a call of duty 2. This parts of a major hard challenge can then be used as a realistic take on or as a memory level map. Small goals are far from being bound easy either; but they are a realistic approach to beating a level. Example would be beating the level's extra challenges by breaking them down into chunks, such as level practic...

object render, part 3

 Making a object requires a class call, but also has to be rendered. Monster monster{}; monster = new Monster[10]; void render_monster(Monster* monster_array); The iso c++ standard says you should use classes for making objects, not structs(structures). Considering it is a standard.  With emphasis on  should , not  must . It is a standard, not a coding rule. It was set forth by iso commitee and bjarne stroustrup. Polymorphism allows us to make multiple monster arch map types. virtual void render_monster(std::string map_name, int type=0); Atch map is a data map about what all is happening in the game, like for example campaign map. It allows making archetypes. monsters, for more efficient run time memory and pointers managing bugs and random access memory. Random access memory can hold quite many objects. class BackPack {     std::string inventory_node{}; };
