Level design basics

It is hard to make a good level as it involves translating the level design document
into game data:
level design document
Level Name: arch
The level is bordered by landscape, of measures 100m x 100 m.
arch.lev (.lev means level)
arch
100 100 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
That can be fixed by using modelers, but eventually you need to make datafiles.

What does a good game consist of? (part 24)

Stealth It's really hard to make a good stealth system in a video game. Why? Because it requires a great difficulty curve and outstanding AI. Most stealth attempts I ever made in a game ended in shooting encounters.

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() { ...

Programmer's Role in Game Development -part 1: Better Code Organization This will be a bit different blog post compared to the previous. It will be a sub-series of the role of programmer in the game development. The first part of the sub-series will explain how a game programmer is more effective alone or in a team. Code organization is in my experience essential, as the amount of code quickly increases, especially if the game has many features. It includes: knowledge of the programming language, APIs, dev kits and make sure you know the techniques with which will you finish the project list of steps to get there a clear to read and understand GDD a clear task list don't rush to learn everything about everything related to your project-set to make a project which you can actually handle(=have learnt 98%-100% about it) There you go, one step closer to understanding how to make a classic game.
