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, especially

exceptionally skilled ones uses every mistake and opportunity to
crush you, and just because you have a map overlay or even worse; map
overlay map.doesn't mean that you are in unreachable game haven. Plus

take into account that applying team map overlay is risky and
therefore dangerous. One good example of map overlay data prints on
the level map is video games that have a lore. For example, Darkfall

Online. You can basically read half of what the others were doing
right in the game lore. A tactical overlay must have many profound
and sovereign options; which are required for making profound and

sovereign options. Strategical map over lay is important too.
Strategy basically means war planning and decision planning, teamwork
means teamwork planning. Both can be used in  Age of Empires 2 and

FEAR Combat. Additionally, all tactical overlays are very readable for
hackers.  This is a very critical hot spot of all anti hacker activity., and
is not restricted to aimbots and wallhack or abusing all kind of

exploits.

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.
