Level design basics, part 9

 Memory

A level can take 100 mega bytes of random access memory which is taken
on each load. Play a match 20 times, you will have 2 giga bytes of memory
taken. So it is important to separate level files into 10 data base segments.

A navy level would be hard to make as it involves loading ships on the start
base. Saving memory is an important method when it comes to designing a
level. Design is important. That's what after all level design is all about. And

memory plays an important key role.

Memory design:

seal animal

This script code prevents the client user from reading confidential united
states army information used in the game. Made them a lot of troubles while
designing Doom 3. Memory is an important part of human brain; and also

of a personal computer. 90% of the human brain's memory has to be used
all the time. And under standing computer memory enchances human memory
and under standing level game design. Zero is a complicated number. It's hard

to understand, but is used for numero logy in designing computer memory.
And computer memory applications. Data base is a very large set of files that
take tons of memory. Seals are in the united states army, that's why the source

code can be applied when making navy goal levels. Generic memory uses c++
made memory templates from the standard template library. Random access
memory stack applies geo graphy methods that can be used to generate memory

nodes.

static mesh render

Static mesh is a data compound of a three dimensional object in time and space. To render one, it takes a one big storage file that contains all the data about the object. That data has to be stored on a disk drive. The really tricky meshes to render are the flying ones. It's a completely different air pressure. The data gets written to a game memory log, it's a massive multiplayer online game, otherwise in the cloud, like Steam. To render one, the data from the level and monster data files to the monitor handling chip. Monitor handling chips vary based on personal computers, lap tops, operating system, processor and graphics car. Before a three dimensional object can be rendered it has to be fixed on memory, either random access memory or the disk drive recovery point. A three dimensional object data can take quite a large amount of memory, especially those used multiple times. Steam Cloud has it's own of handling data, so that it is persistent. A level is made of static m...

object render

To render objects with c++, it is first required to load them on the engine's heap. After loading the object it has to be integrated into the game engine's allocated memory. void integrate() {     direct_x_node.call(); } Modern games(after doom 2) take an insane amount of heap memory. Integrating all the objects on the level, can take 400 mb or random access memory (ram). The same memory has the chip effect on the working of the central processing unit. To completely render the object, the first step is to load all the textures, shadow models, parts, particles, inner model, render the object on the level map, all the corelations with the heuristics. It is very hard to render the inner part of the objects, such as anatomy or infra structure. While it is perfectly fine to just render the inner part to not be displayed.  The anatomy of a player character or non player can be seen on the outside, and the internal strurcture of a level object such as a building, including the ...

object render, part 4

Object is either two dimensional, or three dimensional. Even abstract ones. People imagine c++ game objects as a part of a class on a graph chart, to understand the game and development mechanics. But they are really two dimensional, iso metric or three dimensional. They can be seen on the level or the level map, in other words, about 90% of used classes. Even server objects can be seen on the game, if there is any blue print or underlying real world net working mechanism. So in other words, the class objects can be used in game. They have to be dimensional. //PvE class Monster {     std::vector<int>  head_memory{};     std::vector<int> body_particles{}; public:     int get_memory(int element);     int get_particles(int element);     int get_head_memory_size();;     int get_body_particles_size(); }; Monster's head memory is used for AI render, the body particles list is used for rendering. 60 frames per second...
