c++ - The Game vs The Game Engine? -

-

i wondering if tell me how game , game engine fit game development. mean is, game engine not have game. i'm unclear basically, game developpers build engine, create new class inherits engine becomes game?

ex:

class shootergame : public engine { };

so i'm unclear on game code fits engine.

the distinction between game , actual game engine architectural. game logic specific 1 game whereas game engine can reused. operating system provides utilities applications game engine same game code.

game engines typically have different apis for:

  • loading multimedia data audio, textures, 3d models
  • providing game loop , firing off various events caused users input
  • networking
  • graphics rendering , various techniques make game nice using lighting, particle effects or bump mapping
  • audio
  • artificial intelligence
  • an api allow defining game rules, game play, , game logic

most game developers not write own game engine. work. instead they'll reuse game engine company has or license one. first person shooters, id software, , unreal 2 popular choices.

once have engine have start writing code make game. done using api provided game engine. example valve makes developers use c++. if wanted monster extend off of entity class , define how monster behaves in base class.

i recommend reading through documentation , tutorials provided various game engine providers. keep in mind games classified "mods" , "total conversions." typically, mod not change engine of game , total conversion may add or remove significant features game engine.

here few sources recommend:

javascript - Enclosure Memory Copies -

-
function myclass() { //lots , lots of vars , code here. this.bar = function() { //do numerous enclosed myclass vars } this.foo = function() { alert('hello'); //don't enclosed variables. } } each instance of myclass gets own copy of bar , foo, why prototyped methods use less memory. however, know more memory use of inner methods. it seems obvious me (1) below must true. agree? not distinct myclass instances have own distinct copies of bar, must have own distinct copies of myclass enclosure. (or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

php - Replacing tags in braces, even nested tags, with regex -

-
example preg_replace('/\{[a-za-z.,\(\)0-9]+\}/', 'replaced', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1({tag2()})}, consectetur adipiscing elit.'); the result: lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1(replaced)}, consectetur adipiscing elit. question as can see "tag2" has been replaced, want replace "tag1" know how can this? (in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
