What does a good game consist of? (part 34)

 Unique challenges

A good game consists of challenges, that are outstanding and
completely different to other games., same genre or not. You probably 
like the challenges in Ratchet and Clank franchise's series, if you

played, especially if from the first. Unique camera  provides a
immersive gameplay. I am not saying first person shooters and real
time strategies can't have immersive gameplay, but this is a great

idea on behalf of Insomniac developers.. So make a quick brainstorm of
a list good challenges are to you, that you would want to play
yourself, including if in your own game. That will give you an idea of

it. Adding quests or missions as new features the game ss a very bold
decision, but at the same time probably won't do well on it's own.
Some times it's required to ramp up the level design challenge. Some

times even a new feature won't enough, before the forementioned
challenge. Good examples of unique challenges are quests in elder
scrolls and rune scape. Quests in oblivion are an exploration

challenge, while quests in old school runescape are puzzling, some
times rune quest challenges can drive you to madness.. Really hard
games and their difficulty make no sense, but that actually makes a

fun and challenging game. You don't your game to be of original idea,
or genre for your game to be outstanding. What is more than enough is
to make unique challenges, including what regards secrets, and goodies

that won't be found anywhere else. It is hard to make an original
genre of  sub type, even harder making a completely new cross genre..
But that is not a requirement for making a solid game documentation

about a fine, outstanding game, One of an important reasons Tony Hawk
Pro Skater is such a good game, because it's game design, while not
extremely original concept(Tiger Woods), is based on challenges you

will very unlikely find in other games. Another good design example is
Darrkfall Online, be cause it's very unique approach to player versus
player, which is the use of a looting system, or in other words, loot

based challenges.

drawing with c++

Drawing with c++ is hard, because you'll need at least directx 12 or unreal engine. So it's hard to get started. Because c++ windows programs and unix command line uses drawing to screen methods to generate text, drawing three dimensional text works similar way. int draw(std::string shape) {  if (shape == "circle")  {     window.draw("|---------");  } } Very important part of c++ computer drawing: #include <windows.h> #include <math.h> The printer chips are used for binary code hardware translation. These move the assembly chips data connected to central process unit and graphical unit. To draw a graph ruse window screen, it is required to use straight lines, drawing in three dimensions requires use of two dimensional polygon lines.  The program function above draws a 10 cm horizontal line to the main used window. Windows then processes that data and sends it to the assembler, which manages binary and script code. c plus plus is a very strong an...

Level design basics, part 6

Blocks It takes a lot of building blocks to make a video game level. Video games are after all nothing but very sophisticated and complicated toy games. You can start by making very small pieces of code, say ten of them. After put them in separate files and connect them together. Using JavaScript should do a good trick here. TypeScript defines code blocks, modules and scripts. Forest campaigns are hard to make, but are real fun to play. It is a great adventure, even if it is not a role playing game; and regard less of the weather. Weather and weather conditions are two very different things. Weather conditions are a clausal, all you have to is switch a weather variable: std::string weather{"sunny"}; weather = "rain"; That is a good way to implement into a video game. But weather is something else, it's a cloud system. Very hard to make changing weather. int weather_clouds{10}; weather_clouds+=1; Pick the one you prefer and are capable of doing. So a major buildi...

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
