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]{};
};

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 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() {   ...

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...
