What does a good game consist of? (part 40)

Challenge

Challenge is one of the key components of a good game. As far as that
may sound motivating to you as a developer and a player, in reality
it's a lot harder to implement than said, and also hard to beat, while

playing. But that of course shouldn't stop you from trying to achieve
both anyway. One way to make a game more challenging is to increase
the statistics of AI opponents.

Challenge sheet tier 1:

bear
hit points            100
tactics                 10
attack                  10
damage               1
defense               5
intelligence         1
strategy               1
swimming           0

Challenge sheet tier 2:

bear
hit points            1000
tactics                 100
attack                  200
damage               10
defense               15
intelligence         10
strategy               11
swimming           fish river bite

The difference between the sheets is obvious. It is actually possible
to make actual player opponents(players) more challenging by adding
challenges to beat on multiplayer maps. It heats up the challenge

ratio. The swimming skill or the fish river bite skill actually
refers to bears can't swim much, but can still bite (players, not
fish) while in a river, so it is important in the game to be cautious

while crossing the river, when there is no bridge. Actually crossing
the river without a bridge is challenging and hard as well, which is
a double plus(flow of the river and the bears inside the flow).

However, making a river has to be made with physics, which can be
quiet a development challenge. The flow of the river is water
constant pressure on the rocks in the river and on the water weight.

Making a challenging a game is a challenge in itself, but also very
worth it, and I can guarantee you that you will love playing it. So
suck it up, and get to it, ten years from now you'll glad that you

decided to.

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() {   ...

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...

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.
