haha, im blogging today just to clarify things..
jojo: are you busy lately?
Damo: ya, sooort of..
jojo: oh, busy with playing game rite?
Damo: Lol
jojo: haha, everytime see ur blog like is about game de..
Damo: Lol
jojo: your course no need to study de meh and what are you studying?
OF COURSE i need to study! more of self learning / teaching.. but im those lazy sort of people who just aint that interested in programming.. blunt explanation, im just plain lazy seeking for fun!
in my course, im taught to program games.. yeah, everyone knows that.. but whats inside the game!?
well i will take a game as an example: Mario kart DS
- Collision Box presented
- if not my kart will simply went through any opponent karts.. there must be some calculations and if else condition to make as though my kart has a body of its own..
- AI
- how the artificial intelligence react depends on how the programmer does it.. so there are states we have to map out as such, if the player is first, what do i want the AI to do? if the AI got red shell, who should it shoot at? haha.. alot of critical thinking and algorithm in it de..
- Graphical User Interface (GUI) or (UI)
- your minimaps, the power up icons and etc...
- Memory Management
- imagine having 1000 karts running side by side.. that is going to lag, REAL BADASS lag.. having the karts runs at a very loooooooow frames per seconds(fps)..its simply because there's too much things running that eventually slow down the processor.. programmers seriously have to crack their heads how to run the game without "overloading" the processor..
- Input
- ur control pads and buttons..
and many more.. well, just plain lazy to say out as this can be my personal world record of the LONGEST BLOG ENTRY.. lol..
oh guys, DO get Mario Party DS!! we can play when time permits during Beautiul Sunady performance!!!
