What does a good game consist of? (part 30)

 Good company organization

There is no need for employers to panic every single time someone
does makes a good job, to have a promotion meeting to evaluate the
performance. What is enough, is personal respecialization, or adding

the workload. A big problem however still remains are finances, but
only more if there are promotion problems. So what remains are big
financial risks. It takes a process meeting, and all workers have to

be informed of respecialization, even more in the cause of promotion.

Level dynamics

Good company organization leads to proper level design. Which
requires, that all levels are minimally or optimally connected to each
other, so that there is story cohesion, not only even in the cut

sequences. A good way to start would be to make an entire list, of
all the most important moving part of the level: character move
boosts and the moving parts of the level. After that list all the

level objects that are affected by wind. And finally list all the
parts of level that are dynamical, which means thar moving
internally. Level dynamics are very important, because they cause

external objects moving as they can be described on the level and
game design documentation and can be therefore seen on the level
while playing and on the dynamic level map. Level dynamics are in

other words internal object moving, if they are related to level
design. In other words, wind can be used to be a requirement for the
accomplishment of level's to beat tasks. Level dynamics are

basically every thing that moves, such as puzzle rooms and physics.
To make proper level dynamics, all the moving parts of the level
should be running in a growing loop. What regards the physics on

the other hand, a good place to start would clouds affecting lighting
rays, and water moving and waves flowing in a growing loop
functioning. A good level dynamics video game would be Prince of

Persia: Sands of Time.

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() {   ...

What does a good game consist of? (part 19)

Programmer's Role in Game Development -part 1: Better Code Organization This will be a bit different blog post compared to the previous. It will be a sub-series of the role of programmer in the game development. The first part of the sub-series will explain how a game programmer is more effective alone or in a team. Code organization is in my experience essential, as the amount of code quickly increases, especially if the game has many features. It includes: knowledge of the programming language, APIs, dev kits and make sure you know the techniques with which will you finish the project  list of steps to get there a clear to read and understand GDD a clear task list don't rush to learn everything about everything related to your project-set to make a project which you can actually handle(=have learnt 98%-100% about it) There you go, one step closer to understanding how to make a classic game.
