(Ort, Datum) (Unterschrift) Abstract The development of a game engine is considered a non-trivial problem. [3] The architecture of such simulation software must be able to manage large amounts of simulation objects in real-time while dealing with “crosscutting concerns” [3, p. 36] between subsystems. The use of object oriented paradigms to model simulation objects in class hierar- chies has been reported as incompatible with constantly changing demands dur- ing game development [2, p. 9], resulting in anti-patterns and eventual, messy re-factoring. [13] Alternative architectures using data oriented paradigms re- volving around object composition and aggregation have been proposed as a result. [13, 9, 1, 11] This thesis describes the development of such an architecture with the explicit goals to be simple, inherently compatible with data oriented design, and to make reasoning about performance characteristics possible. Concepts are for- mally defined to help analyze the problem and evaluate results. A functional implementation of the architecture is presented together with use cases common to simulation software.

Design Pattern Interview Questions
DDEESSIIGGNN PPAATTTTEERRNN -- IINNTTEERRVVIIEEWW QQUUEESSTTIIOONNSS http://www.tutorialspoint.com/design_pattern/design_pattern_interview_questions.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com Dear readers, these Design Pattern Interview Questions have been designed specially to get you acquainted with the nature of questions you may encounter during your interview for the subject of Design Pattern. As per my experience good interviewers hardly plan to ask any particular question during your interview, normally questions start with some basic concept of the subject and later they continue based on further discussion and what you answer: What are Design Patterns? Design patterns represent the best practices used by experienced object-oriented software developers. Design patterns are solutions to general problems that software developers faced during software development. These solutions were obtained by trial and error by numerous software developers over quite a substantial period of time. What is Gang of Four GOF? In 1994, four authors Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides published a book titled Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software which initiated the concept of Design Pattern in Software development. These authors are collectively known as Gang of Four GOF. Name types of Design Patterns? Design patterns can be classified in three categories: Creational, Structural and Behavioral patterns. Creational Patterns - These design patterns provide a way to create objects while hiding the creation logic, rather than instantiating objects directly using new opreator. This gives program more flexibility in deciding which objects need to be created for a given use case. Structural Patterns - These design patterns concern class and object composition. Concept of inheritance is used to compose interfaces and define ways to compose objects to obtain new functionalities. -

Dependency Injection in Unity3d
Dependency Injection in Unity3D Niko Parviainen Bachelor’s thesis March 2017 Technology, communication and transport Degree Programme in Software Engineering Description Author(s) Type of publication Date Parviainen, Niko Bachelor’s thesis March 2017 Language of publication: English Number of pages Permission for web publi- 57 cation: x Title of publication Dependency Injection in Unity3D Degree programme Degree Programme in Software Engineering Supervisor(s) Rantala, Ari Hämäläinen, Raija Assigned by Psyon Games Oy Abstract The objective was to find out how software design patterns and principles are applied to game development to achieve modular design. The tasks of the research were to identify the dependency management problem of a modular design, find out what the solutions offered by Unity3D are, find out what the dependency injection pattern is and how it is used in Unity3D environment. Dependency management in Unity3D and the dependency injection pattern were studied. Problems created by Unity3D’s solutions were introduced with examples. Dependency in- jection pattern was introduced with examples and demonstrated by implementing an ex- ample game using one of the available third-party frameworks. The aim of the example game was to clarify if the use of dependency injection brings modularity in Unity3D envi- ronment and what the cost of using it is. The principles of SOLID were introduced with generic examples and used to assist depend- ency injection to further increase the modularity by bringing the focus on class design. Dependency injection with the help of SOLID principles increased the modularity by loosely coupling classes even though slightly increasing the overall complexity of the architecture. -

Singleton Pattern: Motivation • Sometimes Need an Object That Is Unique – There Will Only Be a Single Instance of the Class
Singleton Pattern: Motivation • Sometimes need an object that is unique { There will only be a single instance of the class • Could be done with a global variable, BUT { Such an instance would exist for the duration of the program { If the instance were resource-intensive, this could be a problem { It would be better to create such an object only on an as-needed basis 1 Singleton Pattern: Defined • Singleton Pattern (177): Ensures a class has only one instance, and provides a global point of access to it. • The class manages a single instance of itself. • No other classes can create an instance of a singleton on their own. { I.e., another class cannot execute newInstance = new SingletonClass() • The singleton provides the means for other classes to access the instance. • Class diagram: • The question is: How to implement this so that we can insure that no more than one instance can be created? 2 Singleton Pattern: Implementation • We know that if we have a public constructor for a class, instances can be created by any other classes • But if we make the constructor private, only objects of the class could call the constructor, but then how could a first object of the class be created? { I.e., The only way to create an object of the class is to already have an object of the class (chicken and egg problem) • The trick is to have a private constructor but a static method that creates instances of the class { Since we're dealing with a singleton, the static method will include code that insures that only a single instance of the class will be created • Sample code: public class Singleton { private static Singleton uniqueInstance; private Singleton() { } public static Singleton getInstance() { if (uniqueInstance == null) uniqueInstance = new Singleton(); return uniqueInstance; } .. -

In this thesis I will take a look at some examples of video games and how they made used of PCG. I also discuss how PCG can be defined and what mis- conceptions there might be. After this I will introduce a concept for a modular PCG workflow. The concept will be implemented as a Unity plugin called Velvet. This plugin will then be used to create a set of example applications showing what the system is capable of.
