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]{};
};

drawing with c++

Drawing with c++ is hard, because you'll need at least directx 12 or unreal engine. So it's hard to get started. Because c++ windows programs and unix command line uses drawing to screen methods to generate text, drawing three dimensional text works similar way. int draw(std::string shape) {  if (shape == "circle")  {     window.draw("|---------");  } } Very important part of c++ computer drawing: #include <windows.h> #include <math.h> The printer chips are used for binary code hardware translation. These move the assembly chips data connected to central process unit and graphical unit. To draw a graph ruse window screen, it is required to use straight lines, drawing in three dimensions requires use of two dimensional polygon lines.  The program function above draws a 10 cm horizontal line to the main used window. Windows then processes that data and sends it to the assembler, which manages binary and script code. c plus plus is a very strong an...

What does a good game consist of? (part 32)

Map overlay Making a map overlay is hard, as maps can change and grow. Map overlay is basically a different map than it was at the start of the game. That encourages the player to think while trying to win a match or a puzzle. The main map doesn't have to change that much over time, while the overlay works as a collection of all of the tactical actions made by same clan. Some sort of a clan map, in other words. A clan map is hard to read by other clans. But not impossible, when team speak and fighting tactics are put into use. Personal map overlay can be used to advice on mission, which is generated procedurally, but not necessarily randomly. Another good overlay is tactical and strategical, all of these types overlay are sent to developers for the lore overlay, which is very hard to get hands on if you are not a developer. Tactical overlay is a good way to lead a fireteam, or a squad, but also leaves data traces on the world map. In video games, trick rivalry is high and enemies, ...

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
