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.

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

static mesh render

Static mesh is a data compound of a three dimensional object in time and space. To render one, it takes a one big storage file that contains all the data about the object. That data has to be stored on a disk drive. The really tricky meshes to render are the flying ones. It's a completely different air pressure. The data gets written to a game memory log, it's a massive multiplayer online game, otherwise in the cloud, like Steam. To render one, the data from the level and monster data files to the monitor handling chip. Monitor handling chips vary based on personal computers, lap tops, operating system, processor and graphics car. Before a three dimensional object can be rendered it has to be fixed on memory, either random access memory or the disk drive recovery point. A three dimensional object data can take quite a large amount of memory, especially those used multiple times. Steam Cloud has it's own of handling data, so that it is persistent. A level is made of static m...

object render

To render objects with c++, it is first required to load them on the engine's heap. After loading the object it has to be integrated into the game engine's allocated memory. void integrate() {     direct_x_node.call(); } Modern games(after doom 2) take an insane amount of heap memory. Integrating all the objects on the level, can take 400 mb or random access memory (ram). The same memory has the chip effect on the working of the central processing unit. To completely render the object, the first step is to load all the textures, shadow models, parts, particles, inner model, render the object on the level map, all the corelations with the heuristics. It is very hard to render the inner part of the objects, such as anatomy or infra structure. While it is perfectly fine to just render the inner part to not be displayed.  The anatomy of a player character or non player can be seen on the outside, and the internal strurcture of a level object such as a building, including the ...
