My 3-D Fighting Game Engine... Scripting Preview 1 / 3

By -
Scripting is a huge part of game-making. In fact, at times, the power of a game engine may be very dependent on it's scripting capabilities. The power of a scripting language will determine, and limit, what may be done with the game engine. Scripting is also not just limited to being text based but may also be visual (such as Kismet for the Unreal Engine) but above all scripting is still vital to game-makers for nearly doing EVERYTHING (well this is very much true, it becomes a tool to help make games - and one for some hackers to hack into them)!!



Scripting is used as a means of feeding input and instructions to the game engine and this input may include, but won't be limited to, the following:

* artificial intelligence so as to tell non-playable characters how to act and behave
* triggers, so as to run a process, or do something when something happens (or is triggered)
* determine access and what is not accessible (like locked doors)
* to create objects or spawn stuff into the game
* to determine appearance (yep some are powerful to handle more than just textures but shaders as well)
* to unleash what has already been programmed but is hidden from the user (mostly that's what scripts do - it was one script that discovered a controversial mini-game in GTA III)
* SO SO SO MUCH MORE... YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY NEXT INSTALLMENT...

How does God work? Part I

So I have been thinking a lot about God and how possible it would be for me to try and explain God to a Gen Z in a way they would understand and also perhaps before using the Bible or invoking Bible verses. Now firstly, I strongly believe that the biggest proof of God's existence outside the natural awe of the world we live in, is the Bible but suppose this was taken away from the argument and one had to explain to a modern audience of the post-millenials in a context that would try to explain all that God is and how essentially, God works... and so... In the beginning... Let us suppose God is a super learned and super accomplished person with a PHd in Software Engineering and one in Biology and Physics, among other awesome scientific exploits. Now God with His achievements decides to work on His greatest work and He has a huge plan that He has purposed in Himself and He decides to implement this plan. Now before we get down deep into God's plan, I would like to explain the s...

Making a Turn-based Team Brawler Engine

So lately I have been interested in making a game similar to  Star Wars™ Galaxy of Heroes and  DC Legends , but themed differently with African heroes and stories. DC Legends game play Now these games are available online and for mobile devices and they offer a game play in which you assemble a team and fight against other teams controlled by the game's AI. The opponent teams are usually assembled as part of the game's story mode but you can also play against teams created by other players around the world (which the AI also controls). Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes - AI in action As you play, you discover or add on characters to your roster and you can eventually have different teams. Each character will have a set of unique abilities (some which may need to be unlocked) and at times there are also boosts that come along with the character using those abilities. Assembling a certain cast of characters may have those characters benefit from their shared ability set...

Forget (and don't read) anything I wrote before 2020!

By -
Seriously... do not READ anything I wrote before 2019 or released before 2020! Why?  Because those were mostly random ramblings, without planning or structure or meaningful substance of any kind. They were mostly fueled by "great ideas" that I had under the influence of some drugs or sorts (alcohol usually) and the false overwhelming sense of invincibility. So? Read everything else that I wrote (or rather released) from 2020... Why? Because these are articles or stories (or novels) with: substance,  structure,  thorough planning,  proper grammar checks and so much more that the old stuff didn't have Okay... so? So for my Blogger stuff, I will still keep them informal, the same as my social media stuff... I am not deleting my old stuff (yet). The old articles will still be there but I will be pushing you to read the newer articles and then there are the novels... Novels? Yes... Just released my "first" novel... yeah it's the first that ...
