What does a good game consist of? (part 33)

 Advanced communication tools

Though it may seem, teamspeak, discord and ventrillo are the only
communication tools to be used, there can be also integrated in to
the game. Examples are tactical overlay communication, whisper

radio frequency and advance mods. A lot of radio transmissions can be
heard by enemy players. This means a lot of transmissions can be used
for counter strategy.  A good way to avoid been heard is using the

stealth radio frequency. Standard communications tool is, for example,
the /mute command. An example of an advanced communication tool, is
therefore the /rally radio command, which limits the proximity to a

specific guard point the map, if it's a first person shooter, or a garage
node, if It's a racing game.

void radio_command(std::string command)
{
    if (coomand == "clear")
    {
        clear_radar();
    }

}

Advanced communication tools are a personal game development
preference, which means they are varying and of variety. If you want
to use them on your game, experiment with map and radio commands. It

is important to remember, that in highly competitive games, enemy
players can track, trail and trace other enemies', including yours, radio
activity, even though that sounds impossible. Multiplayer game players

actually do that.

void trace()
{

    call_cheat_throw(1);
}

This is to prevent cheating.

 if (coomand == "trace")
{    
    trace();
    inform_clan_command("trace");
}


if (coomand == "team")
{    
    call_team();
}

if (command == "valve")
{    
    clear_pipeline_audio_radio_memory();
}

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() {   ...

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.
