How To Make A Diaper Carriage Cake

The complex consists of simple parts Huevocartoon

Hello again:

This occasion I will talk about a "tool" (so to speak) used in creating a variety of games. This tool or programming paradigm is to achieve complex behaviors from simple object programming.

To explain more fully this concept begin explaining the behavior of ants and bees. Such companies operate in an extremely efficient despite the lack of "intelligence" possessed by each of its members. How is this possible? ... as this is that each member of the hive or nest, due to a simple set of rules, which to be obeyed by the various members of society, are achieved with more complex behaviors. Focus on

the case of ants, these are communicated through smell, which generated from a substance called pheromone, if you want more information than I present here I recommend looking . The behavior of worker ants is very interesting, because it obeys the 5 simple rules:

  1. If you are not carrying food, wander in random directions to find it.
  2. Finding food is directed immediately to the nest leaving a trail of pheromones.
  3. The ant that is wandering or in the nest and feel the smell of the pheromone, will address food following the trail of pheromones.
  4. Following wake and find food, Hormogen carried him back to the nest, leaving their own trail of pheromone. This will strengthen the original pheromone trail and make more reliable the way for other ants.
  5. Upon completion of food the ants return to wander randomly.
This behavior generates simple patterns that we all know: when we leave food where there are ants, who knows how? but in a moment is full of ants !!!!!!!!!!!

The possible combinations of behaviors of each member of the anthill allow the ants as a community can find food and even transport it to optimally ant. This has been studied in computer science as the ant algorithm ( here ), which has been used to solve problems of human transport.

This is an example of the enormous complexity that is achieved by matching simple complexities, as one expression

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts"

This can be seen in classic games like these :

Lemmings, where the game's objective is to save a certain number of lemmings at every level, for which there are eight different skills that can be distributed in limited numbers to each lemming to achieve achieve the end of each phase.



Pingus : a new version of Lemmings, but using the Linux penguin.

Sims, the best-selling PC game in history, which recreates and simulates a society.



LifeGenesis : a "game" where cells are established that are born and die and shows the evolution of a sample to cell number


Age of Empires : strategy game in real time most famous story, which controls the evolution of a civilization, there are several characters such as villagers, soldiers, priests, kings, among others.



The list would be huge if I continue, but the idea is not clear?

Based on this paradigm of game development we hope to create a new game that can be downloaded from this blog and send us your feedback.

I send a greeting.
