Level design basics, part 16

 MAP DESIGN

A map design is a part of a level design. An essential part, actually
. It covers a lot of level parts from the top down view, including AI
script and objectives. Index mapping: is a technique used for design

ing and generating maps. Use small numbers: 0, 1 and 2. To generate
a informational file that holds the level. As core mapping. Some
where near the maps middle.

0 0 0 1
  0 0 0 2
0 0 0 1

This is a terrain generation pattern, that makes the engine draw the
map, on the three dimensional monitor screen. Information is process
ed through the game; from the processor and random access memory into

numerical draw. A good user interface, has good map graph ics and a
two dimensional map. This is important, because all level information
data is stored in the same file: the three dimensional level map AND

the two dimensional carryable map. The latter is basically terrain
sequence patterns forming map with artificial intelligence positional
movement. Business map is an important meeting part of enterprise

corporate companies, to cover all the facility building issues.
If you use this technique in video game making, the video game making
company's can make a situational awareness map actually in the game.

Designing a map is a lot of hard work. Making sequence patterns for
articial intelligence living beings is not a cake walk. If you ever
played America's army 2, then you remember the almost impossible to

pass in less than 5 minutes infamous bridge crossing and special
forces missions. The bridge map sounds like three main buildings to
make. But it isn't. The bridge is more than 100 meters tall. Which is

why making a dumb mistake can cost your life. You get shred by
grenade fragments on the cat walk, unless if you jump off. Small
numbers are VERY important in making a map. Sequences are hard to

print on the screen.

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() {   ...

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...

object render, part 3

 Making a object requires a class call, but also has to be rendered. Monster monster{}; monster = new Monster[10]; void render_monster(Monster* monster_array); The iso c++ standard says you should use classes for making objects, not structs(structures). Considering it is a standard.  With emphasis on  should , not  must . It is a standard, not a coding rule. It was set forth by iso commitee and bjarne stroustrup. Polymorphism allows us to make multiple monster arch map types. virtual void render_monster(std::string map_name, int type=0); Atch map is a data map about what all is happening in the game, like for example campaign map. It allows making archetypes. monsters, for more efficient run time memory and pointers managing bugs and random access memory. Random access memory can hold quite many objects. class BackPack {     std::string inventory_node{}; };
