What does a good game consist of? (part 38)

Top challenges

You can measure your game design by measuring the difficulty of your
challenges. Basically, all of them. After that you see which are the
hardest, and then either keep them, or ideally make them harder or

make additional ones on top of the difficulty of these ones. It may
sound stupid, but the best games ever made are the ones that are hard,
hard to complete and after that beat(finish all additional and

optional setup challenges). The main or normal most useful procedure
to measure the difficulty of challenges is by writing stars. For
example, say an outstanding challenge you made is above most others,

you give 6 stars, then you measure the others and see if you want any
with 7 stars. If you pick any or multiple with 7 stars, just do the
same procedure all over for reassessment. And keep repeating until you

have a decent game design documentation. There's one very important
thing to remember when making top challenges: they are hard and not
everyone can beat them(in other words, it takes skill and lots of

effort. The saying that it is possible to learn from video games(games
are best teachers) is absolutely true and the most you can learn about
life(or playing video games) such as concentration, accuracy,

attention, focus. Hard video games(like impossible badges on
Kongregate, are tedious, frustrating, even depressing, but they are
also the most human memory rewarding. They teach you how to be better

at playing games and also actual life lessons. Top challenges balance
the hard games, so that not everyone beats them(like Achievements in
Steam by percents). This may seem unfair, but is the exact reason, why

they can be so rewarding. Optional for players who like a good
challenge, or in this case, unlike "normal challenges" very big
challenge. So the point here is to separate the game into normal

challenges and top challenges. Normal challenges include Hard
difficulty and hardest difficulties, and optional challenges to beat,
while top challenges take the "game" to the next level. Very useful

tool for making worthy games. You might ask what about the actual
quality of games, the level design, the graphics and the game design.
The truth it quality of the game, and the difficulty of the video game

are interrelated.

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.

C++ and OOP in a different manner

Keep in mind this article is meant strictly for C++ game devs and not for application programmers or game devs of scripting/other languages. I have my own technique when it comes to OOP in C++. The game I'm deving right now(or we are making) is a simple windows console project. It's up to you to decide whether you'll use this technique. First let me tell you in which cases you might need this technique: if you're ready for a new look on OOP if you need a new toolset for your coding practice if you like to learn(which I clearly hope for) So, the technique then. Decide which you prefer more: classes or structures. This helps you understand what kind of objects you want in a game.
