Design And Realization Of Inquiry Educational Game Map Editor

Along with the network popularization, online game has made remarkable progression in recent years. The online game has already become the necessary parts of the economic development and cultural life of the spirit of the people. Map Editor, an important assistant tool of the game development, which can reduce the complexity and difficulty of creating game map and help to improve game development efficiency and shorten the development.This thesis takes the key technical domain of Guangzhou's Science and Technology Planning Project, 2007Z3-D0191, as the study background. It studies and designs the Map Editor by the means of Object-Oriented method. The map editing module and resource manager module are carried out, and an application framework is implemented to support the two modules. According to the thought of modularizing design, we divide the system into several pieces of independent module functionally to reduce the coupling of the system and expand the system functions easily. Each module provides the simple and uniform interface, which encapsulates the complexity of the interaction between different objects within the module. It is easy to maintain and extend these modules individually by following the contracts of the interface. The editor has been used in the online game"happy school".Firstly, this thesis briefly introduces the relevant background knowledge of Map Editor. Secondly, it makes a detailed analysis to the key technology problems of the Map Editor, which include terrain transition, level division, coordinate translation and so on. It also proposes some preliminary ideas to handle these problems. Thirdly, this thesis analyzes and designs each module respectively. Finally, all modules are optimized and integrated to a complete software system. The focus of this paper is the whole design of the editor. Also there are a lot of details about the design and implementation of the editing module and the resource manager module.
