What does a good game consist of? (part 39)

Stealth tools

Splinter Cell games got really good way of performing tools. The more
moves and techniques you know, the more likely you'll beat the level.
Examples are night vision, third person camera look behind walls,

triple beam laser, full legs stretch(far above the ground). You have
to keep in mind that tools here also implies anything than else than
weapons, as in various toolkits of all types. Like pistol silencer,

camping shovel(to make a stealth camp), food, water and other needs
for survival. It is possible  to get creative and make outstanding and
unique, when it comes to the kind of tools your games uses. Also keep

in mind 2 dimensional games use stealth to. How to devise a stealth
tool? Here is a good example: if you are making a first person shooter
stealth game, you can try cloak modules, that consist a camoflague

cloak. There is one thing you have to keep in mind though, the actual
cloak structure and what kind of a cloak you use. In other words,
modules consist a cloak together, and there are other cloaks, other

than just invisibility. There is a camo cloak(use of military
camoflague colors, double mix of green and brown, combined with
a cover module) and a time cloak(you disappear for ten seconds,

and cannot be seen by any one, not even the actual cloak traces).
If you want to make an unique type cloak yourself, just use modules
to construct one(in code and design, not actual game, preferably).

modules: color mix, cover, (invisibility) = camo cloak

modules: disappear, (invisibility) = time cloak

Try making your own cloak types and modules, and also to try to make
other outstanding stealth tools. Apply brilliant ideas, and
possibilities are endless. It will take time and effort, but is well

worth of being on a path of making a good game.

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 ...
