Πλατφόρμα RPG παιχνιδι Σελίδα 1 Πλατφόρμα σχεδίασης και ανάπτυξης RPG Περίληψη – Πλατφόρμα σχεδίασης και ανάπτυξης RPG Η βιομηχανία του Game Development είναι από τις μεγαλύτερες βιομηχανίες και είναι υπεύθυνη για ένα σημαντικό ποσοστό των παγκόσμιων πωλήσεων στον τομέα ανάπτυξης λογισμικού. Η ανάγκη για παιχνίδια μεγαλώνει όσο οι άνθρωποι εξοικειώνονται περισσότερο με τους υπολογιστές και η τεχνολογία γίνεται οικονομικά εφικτή για την πλειοψηφία του κόσμου. Η δημιουργία παιχνιδιών για υπολογιστές απαιτεί μια μεγάλη ομάδα επιστημόνων που θα συνεργάζεται αρμονικά και παράλληλα στους τομείς της σχεδίασης, σεναρίου, ανάλυσης, γραφικών και υλοποίησης του project. Τα σύγχρονα παιχνίδια κοστίζουν από 1 έως και 15 εκατομμύρια δολάρια ενώ τις περισσότερες φορές απαιτούνται αρκετά χρόνια για να φτάσει ένα παιχνίδι στην αγορά. Τα λεγόμενα Role Playing Games – RPG είναι από τα πιο σύγχρονα και γρήγορα εξελισσόμενα πεδία σε αυτή τη βιομηχανία. Αναπόσπαστο μέρος για ένα RPG είναι το σενάριο. Η συνολική ιστορία συχνά χωρίζεται σε μέρη μικρών αναζητήσεων που αποτελούν και τους στόχους επιμέρους αποστολών στους οποίους συμβάλλει κάθε παίκτης ανάλογα και με το χαρακτήρα που έχει δημιουργήσει και τις ικανότητες που έχει αναπτύξει. Ο πυρήνας μιας προσπάθειας game-development δεν είναι τίποτα άλλο από την game engine που θα επιλεγεί από τους developers. Συνοψίζει ένα σύνθετο σύστημα που χρησιμεύει στην δημιουργία και ανάπτυξη computer ή video games. Αποτελείται από ένα πλαίσιο λογισμικού που προσφέρει στους επίδοξους developers ποικίλες δυνατότητες όπως Graphics Rendering, Physics engine, Sound, Scripting, Animation, Artificial Intelligence κ.α. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο πολλές και σύνθετες εργασίες, όλες απαραίτητες για την υλοποίηση ενός παιχνιδιού, συνοψίζονται σε ένα πακέτο. Στα πλαίσια της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας αναπτύσσεται ο βασικός κορμός μιας game-engine με στόχο να υλοποιήσει το RPG Dungeons and Dragons. Στο project παρά την πλούσια διαθεσιμότητα σε full 3D game-engines, η υλοποίηση του παιχνιδιού δε θα γίνει με ένα έτοιμο πακέτο αλλά με συνδυασμό πολλών προγραμμάτων και βιβλιοθηκών με πυρήνα την πλατφόρμα του Ogre. Η συνδιαστική αυτή επιλογή γίνεται καθαρά για εκπαιδευτικούς λόγους, με αυτό τον τρόπο δίνεται η δυνατότητα στους developers να κατανοήσουν σε βάθος την λειτουργία των σύγχρονων παιχνιδομηχανών, δουλεύοντας ουσιαστικά σε ένα κατώτερο επίπεδο από ότι μπορεί να προσφέρει η σημερινή αγορά.

Βουνοτρυπίδη – Χ. Μαλλιά Στολίδου Abstract – Software platform for the design and development of 3D Role Playing Games Game development is one of the biggest industries of the media and also gaining an important share of the earnings. The people‘s need for gaming is growing as their ability to handle computers and new technology gets bigger and also becomes financially affordable. Developing games is a difficult process requiring a big team of scientists working at the same time in various areas as design, scenario, analysis, graphics and realization of the project. Modern game development can cost to its producers from 1 to 15 million dollars after many years working on it. Role Playing Games are one of the most promising fields in the industry of game development. RPG games are based in various scenarios. During one scenario which includes many shorter tasks for the players, each character is developing its abilities. The core of a game development effort is without doubt the chosen from the developers’ game engine. A game engine is actually a complex system needed to develop computer or video games. It includes all the software needed to the developers to implement various abilities such as Graphics Rendering, Physics engine, Sound, Scripting, Animation, Artificial Intelligence etc. This way many and different but necessary parts of game developing are all included in one package, the game engine. Within the context of this diploma the developers describe the building up of a game engine for the Role Playing Game Dungeons and Dragons. The project despite the fact that nowadays there are available plenty full 3d game–engines in the market is focusing to build a game engine joining many programs and libraries with the most essential part of the project which is the Ogre platform. This choice was made for educational purposes, this way the developers have the chance to deeply understand the function of modern game-engines as they work at a lower level from what the technology can offer today.

  • Estudo Comparativo Entre Engines De Jogos
    FACULDADE DE TECNOLOGIA, CIÊNCIAS E EDUCAÇÃO Graduação GRADUAÇÃO EM CIÊNCIA DA COMPUTAÇÃO Estudo comparativo entre engines de jogos Carlos Gabriel Agostinho Gonçalo Klinke Adinovam Henriques de Macedo Pimenta (Orientador) RESUMO A evolução das engines está agora se movendo para jogos mais realistas e tecnicamente ricos em vários campos, como a física, sons e renderização. Das primeiras engines até as engines mais atuais voltadas para jogos 3D, o objetivo do desenvolvimento permanece o mesmo: fornecer ao desenvolvedor uma plataforma para criar jogos exclusivos de tal maneira que os desenvolvedores não precisem escrever ou desenvolver o jogo a partir do zero, mas apenas implementar a ideia com a ajuda de uma engine. Desta maneira, muitos desenvolvedores (experientes ou iniciantes) têm encontrado nestas ferramentas a maneira mais simples, rápida e profissional de desenvolver novos jogos. Porém, com tantas engines disponíveis, o desenvolvedor precisa fazer uma escolha considerando os dados mais relevantes ao seu projeto. Este trabalho analisou dados de vários atributos relevantes ao processo de escolha considerando as 10 engines mais populares atualmente, servindo de conhecimento e auxílio à este processo decisório. Palavras-chave: Motores de jogos. Desenvolvimento de jogos. Jogos digitais. ABSTRACT The evolution of the game engines is now moving to more realistic and technically rich games in various fields such as physics, sounds and rendering. From the first enginesto the most current engines for 3D gaming, the goal of development remains the same: to provide the developer with a platform to create exclusive games in such a way that developers do not have to write or develop the game from scratch, but only implement the idea with the help of an engine.

Channel morphology is defined as the change in geometric parameters of a river. Channel morphology is affected by many factors. Some of these factors are caused either by man or by nature. To combat the adverse effects that man and nature may cause to a water system, scientists and engineers develop stream rehabilitation plans. Stream rehabilitation as defined by Shields et al., states that “restoration is the return from a degraded ecosystem back to a close approximation of its remaining natural potential” [Shields et al., 2003].

Deze studio wilt een nieuw project starten voor een 3D spel in een HyperText Markup Language 5 (HTML5) browser die intensief gebruik zal maken van artificiële intelligentie (AI) en Web Graphics Library (WebGL). Na onderzoek via een requirements-analyse van verschillende mogelijkheden van game engines komen we terecht bij twee opties namelijk Unity 5, die Rusty Bolt al reeds gebruikt, of de Unreal Engine 4, wat voor hen onbekend terrein is. Qua features zijn ze enorm verschillend, maar ze voldoen elk niet aan één voorwaarde die Rusty Bolt verwacht van een game engine. Zo biedt Unity Technologies wel een mogelijkheid om software te bouwen in de cloud. De broncode van Unity wordt niet openbaar gesteld, tenzij men er extra voor betaalt. Deze game engine is dus niet volledig open source in tegenstelling tot Unreal Engine 4. We vergelijken dan verder ook deze twee engines, namelijk Unity 5 en Unreal Engine 4. We tonen aan dat deze engines visueel verschillen van features, maar ook een andere implementatie van de AI hanteren.

He was there at Diisseldorf and promised to consider Gerontius for a concert in 1902, but I cannot trace that it ever took place. We need to consider Ludwig Wullner, for he would sing Gerontius again on two further key occasions, the second Diisseldorf performance at the Lower Rhine Festival in May 1902, and then in London at Westminster Cathedral in June 1903, as well as the Liverpool premiere in March 1903.
