Level design basics, part 10

Example level design
Gladiator arena. There are 2 secrets in the level. The combat area
4 meter radius circle, or 16 square meters. Secrets are triggered when
killing target number of opponents 3 times in a row. The opponents

are animal beasts, monsters and other gladiators. The high score in
the single player game affects the campaign goals. 

gladiator.bat
2 secrets
set circle(4)
trigger target

Arena is actually very large in this level, even though it might not sound
that way. Experience is hard to get in this level. Experience points, more
specifically.

Exercise
Make a level script file set.

Graphics
That's probably the role of graphics designer, but making 3 dimensional
game design objects is a part of level design as well for better imagining
when writing hard source code.

class LevelObject
{
    std::string type[50]{};
public:
    int create();
};


Script code was mostly used by JavaScript and Java. And macrowave
flash. But it is still important as it is essential. It can be used many time
to sort the use of source code of any coding language. That's what is

used in unreal engine 5. Coding a level is actually harder than level design,
but they are both equally important and have to be related. It is important
to under stand imperative programming as it sorts level functions correctly.

class Level
{
    MainActor build[50]{};
};

Level design basics, part 2

An arch level design is hard, as it doesn't involve only polygon boxes, but also also three dimensional curve lines. If you ever played. Americas army 1, you'll know how hard it is to make a curve building, like the famous over played bridge crossing map. The point is to start. With one curve. Curve is not a straight line, but it's still a line. Means it is possible to apply lines into a three dimensional level. arch 0 0 1 0

Blocks It takes a lot of building blocks to make a video game level. Video games are after all nothing but very sophisticated and complicated toy games. You can start by making very small pieces of code, say ten of them. After put them in separate files and connect them together. Using JavaScript should do a good trick here. TypeScript defines code blocks, modules and scripts. Forest campaigns are hard to make, but are real fun to play. It is a great adventure, even if it is not a role playing game; and regard less of the weather. Weather and weather conditions are two very different things. Weather conditions are a clausal, all you have to is switch a weather variable: std::string weather{"sunny"}; weather = "rain"; That is a good way to implement into a video game. But weather is something else, it's a cloud system. Very hard to make changing weather. int weather_clouds{10}; weather_clouds+=1; Pick the one you prefer and are capable of doing. So a major buildi

What does a good game consist of? (part 11)

"I make games and I'm proud of it" This is another interesting quote from Raph Kostert's "A Theory of Fun for Game Design". It represents a very important aspect every good game developer should understand. If you make games in pride of the processes, you'll enjoy it and most importantly, you'll realize you're contributing to humanity. Why is that true? Because of what I've stated in the first part of the series. If we continually don't fight for a better game design and quality of development of every role in the process, world will not keep up with the need for really good games, the influence of games on other multimedia, books and all types of arts and sports will be affected. Which means the world is in small-chance, but high-potential danger. I really am proud to call myself a game developer.
