Line 3: Currently the world is divided into zones. Crossing from one zone into another is visible to the player as walking towards a border and then being moved over. In a continuous world players and creatures would not notice these zone borders at all. == Features == * <del>Players should not notice the tile grid</del> (that is another topic) * Players should not notice zone borders * Players should not get update message about a complete zone anymore == Notes from the Arianne project meeting 2010 == * Zone change invisible to player * Creatures must be able to cross zones * Creatures must not be dragged to newbie zones * Zones keeping creatures out need a natural barrier, or use protection * Creatures walking back after invisible boarder are easy victims to archers * Client refactored first? * Marauroa requirements unclear * Marauroa needs a perception mechanism that is not purely based on zones. == Other notes == * See also [[Refactoring Delta^2]] {{TODO\|Collect notes from older irc meetings}} - some of these are just fleeting mentions▼ * [http://stendhalgame.org/chat/2010-06-10.html #arianne.06-10.log:21:31] * [http://stendhalgame.org/chat/2010-08-03.html #arianne.08-03.log:20:47] * [http://stendhalgame.org/chat/2010-11-25.html #arianne.11-25.log:10:33] * [http://stendhalgame.org/chat/2010-11-28.html #arianne.11-28.log:19:55] * [http://stendhalgame.org/chat/2011-01-04.html #arianne.01-04.log:23:31] }} == Literature == === Relevant === * [http://scottbilas.com/files/2003/gdc_san_jose/continuous_world_paper.pdf The Continuous World of Dungeon Siege] * [http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=432423 gamedev-forum: Continuous World in a 2D game] * [http://gamedev.stackexchange.com/q/610/450 Game Development: XNA: Stream loading a HUGE 2D world map] === Might be relevant === ▲{{TODO\|Collect notes from older irc meetings}} * [http://gamedev.stackexchange.com/q/5173/450 Game Development: Best Way to Create A Map for a 2D Game?] * [http://gamedev.stackexchange.com/q/3776/450 Game Development: Level Implementation] * [http://gamedev.stackexchange.com/q/1783/450 Game Development: Game State 'Stack'?]
