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.

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 ...

object render, part 4

Object is either two dimensional, or three dimensional. Even abstract ones. People imagine c++ game objects as a part of a class on a graph chart, to understand the game and development mechanics. But they are really two dimensional, iso metric or three dimensional. They can be seen on the level or the level map, in other words, about 90% of used classes. Even server objects can be seen on the game, if there is any blue print or underlying real world net working mechanism. So in other words, the class objects can be used in game. They have to be dimensional. //PvE class Monster {     std::vector<int>  head_memory{};     std::vector<int> body_particles{}; public:     int get_memory(int element);     int get_particles(int element);     int get_head_memory_size();;     int get_body_particles_size(); }; Monster's head memory is used for AI render, the body particles list is used for rendering. 60 frames per second...
