Ideal games and game developement tools

In this article, we discuss how ideal video game and video game development +tool look like, in our opinion.

+

Questions

+

As you know, the goals of Opensource Game Studio are:

+ +

This time we asked ourselves two simple questions:

+ +

The best answers we could think of are below.

+

Answer 1: A video game is ideal if it delivers maximum pleasure possible

+

While content is probably the most important aspect to keep a player invested +into the game, the technical side is the transport to deliver that content. +There are quite a few technical problems that may damage otherwise excellent content of a game:

+ +

We work hard to make sure the games we create are accessible everywhere. +That's why we released +the second demonstration of OGS Mahjong 2 only for +the web: because you can run web version virtually anywhere.

+

Answer 2: A video game development tool is ideal if it lets you create a video game of your dream in the shortest time possible

+

Even though we put a lot of effort into sharing our knowledge through +guides and tutorials, we understand that those take a lot +of time to study. One can't possibly make even a simple video game like +Memory without performing the following steps:

+ +

Writing code and debugging are probably the ultimate forms of input and output +of any software, so we can't escape those. However, there are ways to +completely remove (or at least significantly decrease) the need for +development environment setup and build steps. And this is what we are +going to do in the coming months.

+

Our goal for the coming months is to create a video game development tool that +would allow any programmer (or sufficiently skilled person) to create the +Memory video game from scratch in an hour.

+

That's it for discussing how ideal video game and video game development tool +look like, in our opinion.

OGS Mahjong 2: Demo 2
Вт 02 октября 2018 @@ -58,36 +127,14 @@ The purposes of this release were to refine our development techniques and build a solid cross-platform foundation.

Release

Run the latest version of OGS Mahjong 2 in your web browser: -http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong

-

You are encouraged to run the game with seed parameter like this: -http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0

-

This allows you to play the same layout each time you launch the game.

-

Each seed uniquely identifies the placement of tiles. Thus, different seeds -give you a different experience.

-

Development techniques and foundation

-

During the second demonstration development, we switched from standard -development to example-driven one. This resulted in the -creation of three distinct repositories to back the development of OGS Mahjong 2:

- -

Beyond Mahjong solitaire

-

In addition to seed parameter, you can let the game use remote layout hosted at GitHub: -http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0&layout=github://OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components/data/cat.layout

-

Utilizing remote resources is an extremely powerful approach allowing anyone -to create a layout of his/her choice and see the layout in action instantly.

-

Our next step is to turn game logic into a resource, too.

Questions

+

As you know, the goals of Opensource Game Studio are:

+
    +
  • creation of free video game development tools
    • +
  • making video games with those tools
    • +
  • preparing video game development tutorials
    • +
+

This time we asked ourselves two simple questions:

+
    +
  • What is an ideal video game?

+

While content is probably the most important aspect to keep a player invested +into the game, the technical side is the transport to deliver that content. +There are quite a few technical problems that may damage otherwise excellent content of a game:

+
    +
  • insufficient accessibility: the game does not run on your hardware
    • +
  • insufficient optimization: the game is slow
    • +
  • critical bugs: the game crashes from time to time
    • +
+

We work hard to make sure the games we create are accessible everywhere. +That's why we released +the second demonstration of OGS Mahjong 2 only for +the web: because you can run web version virtually anywhere.

+

Answer 2: A video game development tool is ideal if it lets you create a video game of your dream in the shortest time possible

+

Even though we put a lot of effort into sharing our knowledge through +guides and tutorials, we understand that those take a lot +of time to study. One can't possibly make even a simple video game like +Memory without performing the following steps:

+
    +
  • configure the development environment
    • +
  • write code
    • +
  • build an application
    • +
  • debug the application
    • +
  • repeat write-build-debug steps as many times as necessary
    • +
+

Writing code and debugging are probably the ultimate forms of input and output +of any software, so we can't escape those. However, there are ways to +completely remove (or at least significantly decrease) the need for +development environment setup and build steps.

Идеальные игры и средства для их разработки

+
+ +
Пн 19 ноября 2018 + en + +

Screenshot

+

В этой статье мы обсудим, как выглядят идеальные видеоигра и инструмент для +разработки видеоигр, по нашему мнению.

+

Вопросы

+

Как вы знаете, целями Opensource Game Studio являются:

+
    +
  • создание бесплатных инструментов для разработки видеоигр
    • +
  • создание видеоигр с помощью этих инструментов
    • +
  • создание самоучителей по разработке видеоигр
    • +
+

В этот раз мы решили задать себе пару простых вопросов:

+
    +
  • Какова идеальная видеоигра?
    • +
  • Каков идеальный инструмент для разработки видеоигр?
    • +
+

Ниже представлены наши ответы.

+

Ответ 1: Видеоигра идеальна, если она доставляет максимально возможное удовольствие

+

Несмотря на то, что содержание является, пожалуй, самой важной частью, +удерживающей человека в игре, техническая сторона является транспортом для +доставки этого содержания. Существует немало технических проблем, которые +могут полностью испортить впечатление даже от превосходного содержания:

+
    +
  • недостаточная доступность: игра не идёт на оборудовании человека
    • +
  • недостаточная оптимизация: игра тормозит
    • +
  • критичные ошибки: игра падает время от времени
    • +
+

Мы тратим много сил, чтобы сделать наши игры доступными везде. Именно поэтому +мы выпустили вторую демонстрацию OGS Mahjong 2 лишь для веба: +т.к. вы можете запустить веб-версию практически где угодно.

+

Ответ 2: Инструмент для разработки видеоигр идеален, если он позволяет создать игру мечты в кратчайшие возможные сроки

+

Несмотря на то, что мы тратим много усилий на то, чтобы делиться своими +знаниями с помощью руководств и самоучителей, мы осознаём, +что на работу с ними уходит много времени. Сейчас нельзя создать даже +простейшую видеоигру на память без выполнения следующих шагов:

+
    +
  • настроить окружение разработки
    • +
  • написать код
    • +
  • собрать приложение
    • +
  • отладить приложение
    • +
  • повторить шаги написать-собрать-отладить столько раз, сколько нужно
    • +
+

Написание кода и отладка, пожалуй, являются конечными формами входа и +выхода любого программного обеспечения, поэтому мы их не избежим. Однако, +мы можем полностью избавиться от шагов (или хотя бы значительно сократить их) +настройки окружения разработки и сборки. Именно на это мы и потратим +ближайшие месяцы.

+

Наша цель на ближайшие месяцы состоит в том, чтобы создать такой инструмент +разработки видеоигр, чтобы любой программист (или достаточно квалифицированный +человек) мог создать видеоигру на память с нуля за час.

+

На этом мы заканчиваем обсуждение, как выглядят идеальные видеоигра и +инструмент для разработки видеоигр, по нашему мнению.

Ideal games and game developement tools

+
+ +
Пн 19 ноября 2018 + ru + +

Screenshot

+

In this article, we discuss how ideal video game and video game development +tool look like, in our opinion.

+

Questions

+

As you know, the goals of Opensource Game Studio are:

+
    +
  • creation of free video game development tools
    • +
  • making video games with those tools
    • +
  • preparing video game development tutorials
    • +
+

This time we asked ourselves two simple questions:

+
    +
  • What is an ideal video game?
    • +
  • What is an ideal video game development tool?
    • +
+

The best answers we could think of are below.

+

Answer 1: A video game is ideal if it delivers maximum pleasure possible

+

While content is probably the most important aspect to keep a player invested +into the game, the technical side is the transport to deliver that content. +There are quite a few technical problems that may damage otherwise excellent content of a game:

+
    +
  • insufficient accessibility: the game does not run on your hardware
    • +
  • insufficient optimization: the game is slow
    • +
  • critical bugs: the game crashes from time to time
    • +
+

We work hard to make sure the games we create are accessible everywhere. +That's why we released +the second demonstration of OGS Mahjong 2 only for +the web: because you can run web version virtually anywhere.

+

Answer 2: A video game development tool is ideal if it lets you create a video game of your dream in the shortest time possible

+

Even though we put a lot of effort into sharing our knowledge through +guides and tutorials, we understand that those take a lot +of time to study. One can't possibly make even a simple video game like +Memory without performing the following steps:

+
    +
  • configure the development environment
    • +
  • write code
    • +
  • build an application
    • +
  • debug the application
    • +
  • repeat write-build-debug steps as many times as necessary
    • +
+

Writing code and debugging are probably the ultimate forms of input and output +of any software, so we can't escape those. However, there are ways to +completely remove (or at least significantly decrease) the need for +development environment setup and build steps. And this is what we are +going to do in the coming months.

+

Our goal for the coming months is to create a video game development tool that +would allow any programmer (or sufficiently skilled person) to create the +Memory video game from scratch in an hour.

+

That's it for discussing how ideal video game and video game development tool +look like, in our opinion.

OGS Mahjong 2: Demo 2
Вт 02 октября 2018 @@ -58,36 +127,14 @@ The purposes of this release were to refine our development techniques and build a solid cross-platform foundation.

Release

Run the latest version of OGS Mahjong 2 in your web browser: -http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong

-

You are encouraged to run the game with seed parameter like this: -http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0

-

This allows you to play the same layout each time you launch the game.

-

Each seed uniquely identifies the placement of tiles. Thus, different seeds -give you a different experience.

-

Development techniques and foundation

-

During the second demonstration development, we switched from standard -development to example-driven one. This resulted in the -creation of three distinct repositories to back the development of OGS Mahjong 2:

-
    -
  • OpenSceneGraph cross-platform examples repository provides cross-platform foundation like resource handling, render window setup, etc.
    • -
  • OGS Mahjong components repository provides Mahjong specific functionality like parsing layout, matching tiles, etc.
    • -
  • OGS Mahjong repository contains snapshots of OGS Mahjong components features that comprise specific game version. E.g., Demo 2 version is almost identical to 05.ColorfulStatus example of OGS Mahjong components.
    • -
-

Beyond Mahjong solitaire

-

In addition to seed parameter, you can let the game use remote layout hosted at GitHub: -http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0&layout=github://OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components/data/cat.layout

-

Utilizing remote resources is an extremely powerful approach allowing anyone -to create a layout of his/her choice and see the layout in action instantly.

-

Our next step is to turn game logic into a resource, too.

Существует немало технических проблем, которые +могут полностью испортить впечатление даже от превосходного содержания: + +* недостаточная доступность: игра не идёт на оборудовании человека +* недостаточная оптимизация: игра тормозит +* критичные ошибки: игра падает время от времени + +Мы тратим много сил, чтобы сделать наши игры доступными везде.

Сейчас нельзя создать даже +простейшую [видеоигру на память][concentration] без выполнения следующих шагов: + +* настроить окружение разработки +* написать код +* собрать приложение +* отладить приложение +* повторить шаги `написать-собрать-отладить` столько раз, сколько нужно + +Написание кода и отладка, пожалуй, являются конечными формами входа и +выхода любого программного обеспечения, поэтому мы их не избежим. Однако, +мы можем полностью избавиться от шагов (или хотя бы значительно сократить их) +`настройки окружения разработки` и `сборки`. Именно на это мы и потратим +ближайшие месяцы. + +Наша цель на ближайшие месяцы состоит в том, чтобы создать такой инструмент +разработки видеоигр, чтобы любой программист (или достаточно квалифицированный +человек) мог создать [видеоигру на память][concentration] с нуля за час. + +На этом мы заканчиваем обсуждение, как выглядят идеальные видеоигра и +инструмент для разработки видеоигр, по нашему мнению. + + +[screenshot]: {attach}/images/2018-11-19-ideal-gamedev.png + +[ogs-goals]: {filename}/pages/about-ru.md +[mahjong-demo2]: {filename}/articles/2018-10-02-mahjong-demo2-ru.md +[osgcpg]: https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-guide +[osgcpe]: https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-examples +[concentration]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game) diff --git a/pelican/content/articles/2018-11-19-ideal-gamedev.md b/pelican/content/articles/2018-11-19-ideal-gamedev.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..066ff61 --- /dev/null +++ b/pelican/content/articles/2018-11-19-ideal-gamedev.md @@ -0,0 +1,75 @@ +Title: Ideal games and game developement tools +Date: 2018-11-19 00:00 +Category: News +Slug: ideal-gamedev +Lang: en + +![Screenshot][screenshot] + +In this article, we discuss how ideal video game and video game development +tool look like, in our opinion. + +**Questions** + +As you know, the [goals of Opensource Game Studio][ogs-goals] are: + +* creation of free video game development tools +* making video games with those tools +* preparing video game development tutorials + +This time we asked ourselves two simple questions: + +* What is an ideal video game? +* What is an ideal video game development tool? + +The best answers we could think of are below. + +**Answer 1: A video game is ideal if it delivers maximum pleasure possible** + +While content is probably the most important aspect to keep a player invested +into the game, the technical side is the transport to deliver that content. +There are quite a few technical problems that may damage otherwise excellent content of a game: + +* insufficient accessibility: the game does not run on your hardware +* insufficient optimization: the game is slow +* critical bugs: the game crashes from time to time + +We work hard to make sure the games we create are accessible everywhere. +That's why we released +[the second demonstration of OGS Mahjong 2][mahjong-demo2] only for +the web: because you can run web version virtually anywhere. + +**Answer 2: A video game development tool is ideal if it lets you create a video game of your dream in the shortest time possible** + +Even though we put a lot of effort into sharing our knowledge through +[guides][osgcpg] and [tutorials][osgcpe], we understand that those take a lot +of time to study.
