What's Game Engine?

A game engine is software development environment used for creating games. Basically, it’s a framework with inbuilt feature to make the development of the game smoother and save time.

Just imagine if you are not using game engine and you want to create a game then you have to start from scratch. You will have to write the mandatory code which required by every game.

1. Physic and Collision code.

2. Render (for render 2-D and 3-D images)

3. Sound

4. A.I

5. Memory management

And many more.

The above mention thing comes in built in the game engine by default. So, you don’t require to write the same code every time and waste time.

But there is some exception when it’s better to create your own engine is when your game demand some optimized performance which a typical game engine can’t provide.

Memory Management a key feature of game engine. Keep the track of the next line to be executed fetch it to the main memory.

For example, In Super Mario when your character move forward new obstacles comes in the way. That were memory management is used game engine execute the next code when the character moves forward at the same time some obstacle is left behind which can’t be accessed again once it gets out of the screen. This happen because engine remove the code which is been fully executed from the main memory to make room for next line if code in the main memory.

Does a better make a better game?

Certain engine can male more realistic and detailed games, but creativity and passion

make “great” game. There is no “best” engine. It depends on you and your game.

Conclusion:

Game engine helps us with core task so we don’t have to start project from scratch.

Secure Network(Week 4)

Network hardening is the process of securing a network by reducing its potential vulnerabilities through configuration changes and taking specific steps. Implicit deny is a network security concept where anything not explicitly permitted or allowed should be denied. Analyzing logs is the practice of collecting logs from different networks and sometimes client devices on your network, then performing an automated analysis on them. Correlation analysis is the process of taking log data from different systems and matching events across the systems. Flood guards provide protection against Dos or denial of service attacks. EAP-TLS is an authentication type supported by EAP that uses TLS to provide mutual authentication of both the client and the authenticating server. if you really want to lock down your network, you can implement 802.1x . DHCP Snooping Attack Why WEP Encryption fall apart? A general concept in security and encryption is to never send the plain ...

Troubleshooting and debugging

Troubleshooting is the process of identifying, analyzing, and solving problems. Debugging is the process of identifying, analyzing, and removing bugs in a system. We sometimes use troubleshooting and debugging interchangeably. But generally, we say troubleshooting when we're fixing problems in the system running the application, and debugging when we're fixing the bugs in the actual code of the application. Debuggers let us follow the code line by line, inspect changes in variable assignments, interrupt the program when a specific condition is met, and more. System calls are the calls that the programs running on our computer make to the running kernel. A reproduction case is a way to verify if the problem is present or not. Where to check for log file in OS? On Linux , you'd read system logs like /var/log/syslog and user-specific logs like the .xsession-errors file located in the user's home directory. On MacOs , on top of the system logs, you'd go through...

Authentication Authorization Accounting(week 3)

Identification is the idea of describing an entity uniquely. Biometric authentication is the process of using unique physiological characteristics of an individual to identify them. C.R.L(Certificate revocation list) :This is a signed list published by the CA which defines certificates that have been explicitly revoked. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol(LDAP): LDAP is an open industry-standard protocol for accessing and maintaining directory services. Authentication is related to verifying the identity a user, authorization pertains to describing what the user account has access to or doesn't have access to. An access control list or ACL , is a way of defining permissions or authorizations for objects. RADIUS or Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service , is a protocol that provides AAA services for users on a network.It's a very common protocol used to manage access to internal networks, WiFi networks, email services and VPN services. when a client wants to access a r...
