Level design basics, part 15

Game design and level design

They are very closely related. A good method is to make separate
document, that shows the relation points. Game design is like an arch
type to all other documentations. Which of course includes the level

design. One documentation doesn't go without the other. They are co
related, and both very important; two documents should do for the
entire documenation: of course as a document I don't mean 1 page or

any thing like that. Because an entire documentation of either can be
in one extensive document. But for better understanding and
comprehension; by then two documents are optimal. Level design

documentation is mostly and most oftenly a part game design
documentation. Level design is paramount part of game design. It
supports the whole structure together. It is very important, in other

words. A good way to start doing that is by making a separate game
design document. Or a level design section. Write all the references
to the level design documentation. What they both share in common is

the word "design". Designing a level is more than just planning it
and then designing it. They inter vine with each other. They are co
related. They don't go one with out the other. And so they both

require a giant ammount of effort. Making a campaign takes time,
effort and dedication. Game design basically covers all game aspects,
what makes it out standing from other games, game play querks,

challenges. Level design is not only writing about levels, but
covers data as well. So can game design. Data is crucial for the game
to not over flow the computer system with memory information. It has

to be stored in data bases. Game data design can quickly cover a lot
of game design and level design in over lap. Data is a very complex
infomation structure. A data unit basically contains a lot of bits

of information. So there is actually a lot of document over lap
between game design and level design. They are very deeply inter
related. As they cover all other design parts of the game, including

code design.

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
