What does a good game consist of? (part 31)

Level tasks

Making fun tasks for the level, is fun developing and makes for
excellent levels. This can be missions, secrets, quests, objectives,
puzzles, side quests, unlocks, story tasks, memory puzzles and most

importantly explore tasks.  Legend of zelda: breath of the wild has a
very large ammount of stuff to beat after you bet the all the story
line quests and levels. It's not necessary, but still hell tons of

fun. All level tasks work something like a bar code, it is hard to
decrypt, unless you have something like a c++ encryption. However,
even levels tasks are built by a game maker or in some cases a

programming language, so we are back to the start of the problem.
Really challenging levels might sound ten times over expensive or
sometimes just plain stupid, but it's a more than welcome reality.

Making camp levels is for example a giant channel, becomes it
requires tons of investment and copy rights support of the us army
army, but with a lot of creativity it is possible to made anyways.

Here is an example level tasks in level design documentation:

the first floor is basic

It is a floor based level design:

First floor = regular rewards
second = regular + unlocks
third = uncommon + unlock + secrets
fourth = boss key

This is a 3 d game. Getting on a higher sounds easy, but it isn't.
This is just a basic pattern example for you to understand, how level
tasks work. Here's another:

main mission = beat the level in 20 min = 20 points
bonus mssion #1 = ?                                = 15 points
bonus mssion #2= ?                                 = 15 points
bonus mssion #3= ?                                 = 15 points

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() {   ...

Coding and game development, part 2

 Consider the following C++ sample: int main() {     std::cout << template_1() << '\n';     return 1;      } Every moron who knows C++ would know what this means. Now consider that almost every line is a regular expression, so try to translate it into your native language, English for example; line by line in steps. ... rofl lol oO? I tried to do that with the example and my head almost had a system shutdown.

What does a good game consist of? (part 32)

Map overlay Making a map overlay is hard, as maps can change and grow. Map overlay is basically a different map than it was at the start of the game. That encourages the player to think while trying to win a match or a puzzle. The main map doesn't have to change that much over time, while the overlay works as a collection of all of the tactical actions made by same clan. Some sort of a clan map, in other words. A clan map is hard to read by other clans. But not impossible, when team speak and fighting tactics are put into use. Personal map overlay can be used to advice on mission, which is generated procedurally, but not necessarily randomly. Another good overlay is tactical and strategical, all of these types overlay are sent to developers for the lore overlay, which is very hard to get hands on if you are not a developer. Tactical overlay is a good way to lead a fireteam, or a squad, but also leaves data traces on the world map. In video games, trick rivalry is high and enemies, ...
