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 meshes, plenty of them. The

main terrain board, the clouds, monsters, player characters, build
Ings.

void mesh2d::render_to_map()
{
    for (int index{1}; index<= 1000; ++index)
    {
        navigation.print(index);
    }
}

This is a two dimensional static mesh function, which is basically
used for drawing dynamic maps.

void mesh3d::render_to_map()
{
    for (int index{1}; index<= 1000; ++index)
    {
        navigation.draw(index);
    }
}

This kind of meshes are drawn by using the same map for
processing drawing navigation meshes to the screen. Or monitor
display. These two functions are actually quite closely related

to each other.

Level design basics, part 7

Meta files Meta means in between. Wild hard ware and soft ware connection. A game design level document is just documentation; it is normal text. Actual level files however are en coded. Not normal text, in other words; which is why they are a lot harder to make. Forests for example are hard to put into a text file. Trees are real world eco systems that are the source of nature and life. It is one thing to put a real world object into a game, what is even a LOT harder is putting one, for example a tree into a text file. Source code is just sofware, it is nothing but encoded writing, which is why to put it into soft ware is not exactly easy, but has been done many times before. However, putting source code directly into hard ware is a completely different thing. That's where meta files come in handy. Meta files are clay ware. They work very similiar to a human brain. Like a connection between software and hardware. A meta file contains level game design documentation and level code....

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
