Oyun Geliştirme TekniklerininTarihi

İlk cihazlar

İlk kullanılan cihazlar oldukça kısıtlıydı.

Commodore 64, Sinclair Spectrum ZX, Amstrad464

8bit işlemci, 48-64k RAM, sınırlı gra�k gücü

Depolama yok, yükleme kaset ile yapılıyor

İlk Cihazlar

Yalnızca BASIC dili ile oyun geliştirilebilirdi

Platform bağımsızlığı söz konusu değildi

Compiler diye bir kavram yoktu

Kod yazarken her satırın, her komutun hesabıyapılırdı

Herşey optimize edilmek zorundaydı

İyi taraf: piyasada 1-2 farklı cihaz vardı :)

İlk Oyunlar

Gra�k ve ses çok temel seviyedeydi

Odak noktası oynanabilirlik ve senaryo idi

Oyun Fikrinin Yükselişi ve Çöküşü

Orjinal �kir

1980'lerin ilk zamanlarında çıkan hemen tümoyunlar sahneye yeni bir �kir taşıyordu

Her oyun neredeyse yeni bir genre (janr)oluşturuyordu

Gra�k ve ses ile yapılabilecek şeyler sınırlıydı

Bu yüzden oyunun satması için orjinal olmasıönemliydi

Klon oyunlar

Özellike 2000'lerde oyunlar tekrar etmeyebaşladı

En büyük sebep: market baskısı

Ne satıyorsa onu üret!

Zorlamaya gerek yok!

PC'nin yükselişiyle, gra�k ve ses öne çıkmayabaşladı

Aynı oyunu boya, cilala, tekrar sat

Oyun Geliştirme Ortamları

İlk yıllar

Aslında söylenecek çok bir şey yok

Machine Language

Assembly

BASIC

İlk yıllar

op-code'ları kağıda yaz

hex'e çevir (machine code)

hex loader ile bilgisayara yükle

Assembler

Assembly dili direk op-codeları kullanarak kodyazmayı mümkün kıldı

Her programın kendi içinde tanımlı bir hafızabloğu oldu

C çağı

Ardından C gelişmeye başladı

Tamamı C ile yazılan ilk oyun: DOOM

İnsanlar assembly kullanmadan bir oyunyazıldığına uzun süre inanamadı

Bu yeni bir çağ başlattı

DOS çağı

Microsoft DOS

16bit'ten 32bit'e geçildi

İşlemci hızları, RAM artmaya başladı

Windows 95

Windows 95, DOS üzerinde çalışır

Kısıtlı kaynaklar W95 ve oyun arasında paylaşılır

Microsoft bunun mümkün olduğunu kanıtlamakistiyordu

WinG: ilk başarısız deneme

Developerlar DOS için oyun üretmeye devam etti

DirectX

DirectX hardware'e erişmek için bir arayüzdür

DOS'tan daha hızlı (ve kolay) olduğu iddiasıylaortaya çıktı

İlk versiyonu pek kimse umursamadı

DirectX II, COM modelini kullanıyordu

Aynı zamanda C/C++ compilerlarını dageliştirdiler

Artık WATCOM'u geçiyorlardı

DirectX

İlk DirectX kullanan W95 oyunu: Pitfall

DirectX Watcom ile uyumlu değildi

Oyun geliştiriciler Visual C++'a geçmek zorundakaldı

Haftaya hazırlık

Modern oyun geliştirme araçları ve bu araçlardakullanılan diller nelerdir?
