Comparing and Contrasting the four variable types

The four variable types are: bool,char,double and int. Bools make a statement true of false, int is for plain numbers and decimals, char holds characters, and double holds decimals and bigger numbers. The similarity of int and double is that they both hold numbers to be on screen. The difference between the two is that the double variable is that it holds bigger numbers while the int variable holds smaller numbers and decimals. Another similarity between all of the variables is that they all hold a number or letters to print different things. The difference between bool and char is that bool prints a certain line of text to the screen and char just holds a character to be used.

Worm.is Critique

Worm.is is a good game. It is a copy of Slither.io but it seems to have some features that are not in Slither.io. I didn't play the game long enough to see what the features did but it seems like a system that rewards the player for playing more and doing better at the game. It has a lot of people playing which is good as you have many people to play against. Overall it is a good game with a lot of potential.

Compile-Time Error & a Run Time Error

A Compile-Time Error is any error that happens when the program is being compiled that prevents the program from being compiled. On the other hand a Run Time error is an error that happens when the program is being executed that shows that there is a bug in the program and usually it is something that the designers cannot do anything about. The main difference between the two is that  the compile-time error is that it happens  while the program is being compiled and the run time error happens when the program is already in use.

What Makes a Good Game

In my opinion a good game is one that has longevity. As of recently, many people have started to get tired of games and went back to old ones. This, for the most part, is a good way to see if a game is good, if people still enjoy playing it long past it's lifetime. Another thing that makes a good game for me is one that has a lot of different game types. Games that only have one game type (campaign, multiplayer, etc.) get really bland. If a game has more than one game type, it will make the game more appealing to people and if you get bored on one game type they can just go to another. One final thing that makes a good game for me is a good reward and leveling up system. Good games would have a reward system that rewards players that know more about the game and are better at it.

How to Compile a Program in Visual Studio

To compile a program in visual studio you have to start by typing in the library that contains pre-written code.  The next thing that you have to do is have a namespace that acts like a cheat to write less code and still function the same. After putting enter, you add the starting point of the program. Afterwards, you have to add the cout which prints text to the screen and in the same line, add end/ to end the line. Finally skip two lines and add a }.

My Game Idea

I'm thinking about making the game be set in an old steam punk game. The characters are stuck in a tunnel where they have to get out. The point of the game is to get the players out of the tunnel safely. There will be at least one character if not two.it will be an rpg type game. The characters identity's are unknown.

The World Wide Web and The Internet

The Difference Between The Internet and The World Wide Web

The Internet is the connection that connects and transfers data to computers. On the other hand the World Wide Web is the way that we as people are able to access the Internet and communicate with each other. Both work together as the Internet connects all computers to each other and the web allows us to use the Internet.
