c++ level render

Game levels are usually quite big, which is why they takes a lot of
time to render and draw. Render here means the first draw, which is
done in the loading time. However, the level has to be redrawn in

the game time. But the problem is, that data actually changes and
quite fast too. Not only computer, but only random access memory,
cloud data, game mission data and server side data. Technically

speaking, this means it has to be re render ed, even though the level
data stays the same. This means maintaining movement data. At
first glance, level might seem like a huge pile of data that has to be

loaded once, but that is not entirely the truth. Memory information
and memory data have to be used for data memory processes, such
as artificial intelligence, moving characters, weather, animations,

models, score board and game level HUD.

void render_start_level(std::string level_name, Level& instance)
{
       
Level.load_from_file(std::string "data " + level_name);;
       stack_draw(Level.get_board());
       
       for (int index{1}; index<=Level.get_file_size(); index+=1)
       {
            stack_draw(Level.get_object(index));
};

Machine learning can be applied to rendering as well, not just for
artificial intelligence. Computer, after all is a machine. Loop
patterns are very common in three dimensional rendering, as they

affect the development and code engineering process. An example of a
loop pattern is testing one render loop for multiple examples and using
it then if it is useful. Level map stays preety much the same the whole

time, but that's not quite the truth for the actual level. Levels are
dynamic, not static Level moves, as riverss move, wind moves the
trees, character static meshes move, clouds move, territotry is taken

over, woodcutting changes the trees and forests, even crafting is
dynamical. The territoty map of the level doesn't quite grow much,
but the actual mapping of the territory that used for rendering three

dimensional levels does. For example, to free random access memory
between programs(and games).

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

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.

Coding

I find it extremely hard to code a game. It gets worse than that. I also have to do the game design, UI design, level design and the story. Basically lots of bugs, lots to learn, lots to design. The good news is I have a teammate and she works on level design and story. Helps a lot regardless there is tons of work to be done before even first of the three Trix games gets published. I sometimes work even 12 hours a day. Yikes!
