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{};
};

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!
