C2 Developing computer games

• Visual style:

o omnipresent, e.g. area of vision

o avatar, e.g. line of sight.

• Input methods: Games and games console can have a wide range of inputs as discusses in previous weeks, in your game depending on the software that you have chosen to use you may be able to use the following;

o keyboard and mouse

o gamepad

o customisation of control, e.g. user configuration.

In most cases you will be able to customise these hardware tools to work in a way that you prefer, this could be through the games them selves or through third party software or hardware, for example XMapper.

• Asset integration, to include:

o graphical, e.g. raster, vector

o animation and video, e.g. cut scene, story, arc

o audio, e.g. syncing sound clips with visual displays

o texture mapping, e.g. applying texture to a mesh

• Advanced features, to include:

o artificial intelligence, e.g. search algorithms, learning algorithms

o 3D rendering, e.g. 3D environment, first-person view

o save game state, e.g. options to save, auto-save points
