Looking For Games With Specific Setting/level

What is real life's difficult level setting? If life were a game, what would it be?

I was originally going to skip this question because it seemed kind of dopey, but after thinking about it, I think there is a pretty deep truth of life hiding inside it.One of the most important things you can realize as a human being is that different people are playing life on radically different levels of difficulty.I was born a middle class white man in the United States. I’m straight, healthy, and smart. I have a natural aptitude for computer programming, I’m reasonably good looking, and have no mental, emotional, or physical problems. I was never molested or abused.If life had a difficulty dial that went from 1 - 10, where 10 was the hardest, I am playing at a 2 or a 3. Yes, there are people like me who were also born rich, or born with incredible athletic or intellectual gifts. They’re playing at a 1.But there are people born blind or crippled, abandoned by their parents, in third world countries where they are looked down upon for their social class or caste or any number of other reasons that humans look down on other humans. Those people are playing it at a 10.Even here in America, the range is all over the place. It is everywhere. I am casual aquantences with a woman in my home town. She is a black, lesbian, who is short and kind of stocky. Just that means that all other things being equal, she’s still playing at a level 5 or 6 compared to me.

Are single player games rigged when it comes to the difficulty levels?

While I do not know actual game programming, and can not confirm this 100% I have experienced this a lot especially in arcade games. These games are often set to a specific setting and one can’t really choose the difficulty.I have noticed it in most Tekken games.Often I see a 10 year old or casual player playing. These people will just mash buttons and wiggle the stick around. Sometimes they can manage to make it to the final stage with just luck. The AI barely blocks and just tries to randomly attack occasionally.In my case, I know pretty much the bread-and-butter combos for all characters. I usually plow through the AI for 2 rounds, get them almost KO for the next two, but let them win (to have more games and practice) and finally win the 5th round. I use all kinds of techniques I am practicing and experimenting on. The AI puts up a formidable fight, and it really is a challenging experience.There were times when a kid was playing, but mom and dad told him that is was time to go, and he left the game unfinished. I sometimes go and finish his game for free practice and notice how easy and dumb the AI was.There were time I also had to leave early, and left my game. I am pretty sure that unless you are an experienced player, you won’t be winning the play through in “my difficulty”Most arcade shooter games seem to have this as well.Most of these games, I have memorized so well I know where all the new enemies are coming from, and all the secrets and jump-scares.Still, the difficulty seems to scale as well. Despite making so many perfect head-shots and quick kills, the game still seems challenging to me on later stages (first stage is always easy. This is probably where the AI judges my skills)

What does the code for a video game look like?

Here is the code-snippet for a basic and badly-written game that I wrote while waiting for build processes to complete, …of a legacy system… I was bored.It is a replica of some arcade game I remember playing as a kid. You are driving a car with a top-view of your car and the traffic. You need to dodge the cars and get to your destination faster. You can also shoot the cars and gain points. (I know it doesn’t make much sense but yeah…)Code:if(bullectRect!=null && isBulletActive && bullectRect.intersects(traffic[i])) {
bullectRect = null;
bulletCount--;
isBulletActive = false;
traffic[i]=null;
killedcars++;
score+=500;
}
So in the above code snippet, traffic[i] refers to a random car in the traffic. When your bullet collides with that car, the following happens:bullet ‘dies’amount of bullets decreases by 1you tell the program that no bullets are activethat random car in the traffic ‘dies’the amount of cars killed, increases by 1your score is increased by 500Some more info:Behind the scene every interact-able object is a rectangle and I check for collision when a rectangle intersects with another.The rectangles are actually not shown on the screen but in the exact position of each rectangle there is an image of the same size. It’s a mind-trick, that’s how most games work.It’s a badly written game as everything is written in a class and there is another inner-class, no standards or good practices were followed and a lot more… but it works.Here is a screenshot for more context:You can actually download and play around with the game and it’s code: naseeri/AccelGameEnjoy!

I'm new to Elder Scrolls games, how do I know my opponent's level in TES V: Skyrim?

I think you may get a few ideas reading these pages:On BanditsOn DraugrOn DragonsThere are different varieties of the every type of the opponents, and they are named differently. If you just started, you may kill a few Bandits without big problems, but Bandit Thug or Bandit Highwayman have more chances to kill you than you to kill them (not to say Giants). Same thing for lower / higher level Draugr etc. Also UESP has advice on character level for particular quest. The general rule is that if you met tough enemies at outer points of some location / dungeon, the following won’t be easier.Myself I advise to care more about your character buildup and supplies than guessing enemies. Developing your character, choosing the right skills, crafting or picking good weapons / armor / enchantments / potions / poisons / spells makes big difference. Your followers also do. It’s one thing for 10-20 level character to try to kill Giant using bow only, and it’s very different thing to try to kill the same giant with the same bow, but using also Fire Atronach spell and a poison with paralytic and lingering health damage effects.Same for the other combat situation: in one case you can barely survive running around location from tough enemy, attacking it from distance. In the other case you from the start launch at the same enemy your follower, your atronach, and take a few potions boosting both your damage and defense. Big difference.
