Map Editor On Apple Mobile Game Development And Application Of The Design

Map editor is a branch of game engine, the computer program about the game isbased on the surface topography, scene, object attribute and put, trigger events, theinteractive map data related to the editor, transformation, output, integration andapplication of the tool.With the advent of the era of3G, iPhone market expanding, iOS games to thepotential user base and the characteristics of less investment capital has attracted a lotof market entrants. But because developers to publish on the App Store applications torun in the phone memory and other hardware resources limited mobile handsetplatforms, such applications generally avoid bulky. In order to ensure smoothapplication under the3G n etwork download and run, apple also made thecorresponding provisions: iOS Apps through the3G network download limit shouldbe controlled in50MB. If the user through the3G network to download on the iOSdevice App Store applications in more than50MB size, system will prompt the userneeds to connect Wi-Fi to download. So, cut and optimize resource is the mostimportant link in game development, game and map editor to design and developmentis the primary part of game development, it is an important branch of game engine, isbased on computer program about game resource data editing, transformation, output,integration and application of the tool. Map editor to use effectively reduce andoptimize the size of the game resources. Therefore, the development and applicationof the map editor is the iOS platform game development priority.Based on "Pirates is coming" network mobile game development project as thebackground, with the pirates come game map editor for the development andapplication of research topic, in order to adopt to simulate human thinking as thestarting point and the principles of object oriented methodology for research method,has realized the game function modules of the resource management module and mapproduction, austerity and TileMap functions mainly solves the optimization problemof game resources. This is a combination of technology and art of innovation, therealization of the function of austerity, solved the art resources according to the mixedblock map management accurate extraction of elements of difficulty, has realized theart static map resources in the form of mixed block map of storage and management,avoiding the conventional whole figure and block map cause waste of resources;TileMap function to solve the large area laying time block map splicing complexproblems, repetition and waste and blocking the partitioning map reuse, in this way,not only greatly reduces the space resources of fine arts, and fine cut the gamescenario structures, the workload of staff, the reduced game development cycle. This paper realized map editor has been used in the " Pirates is coming " game project.
