Video Games and Databases
SLIDE 7
What Role do Databases Play?
- Video games are created by a team
- f people
- Databases organize all the
information
SLIDE 8
What is a Database?
- Collection of related information
- A means of organizing a lot of information
- Different types
SLIDE 9
Types of Databases
- Flat-File Model
- Relational Model
- Hierarchical Model
- Network Model
- Object-Oriented Model
SLIDE 10
The Database of Choice
- Object-oriented model
- Closely resembles object-oriented
programming
- Ease of use for programmers
- Capable of handling complicated data types
SLIDE 11
Databases in Game Design and Game Play
- Non-networked games
- Non-Persistent games
- Persistent games
SLIDE 12
Non-Networked Games
- Must be “data driven”
- Game studio separates design and
programming phases
- Game components require a complicated
data-management system
SLIDE 13
Non-Persistent Games
- Same architecture as non-networked game,
but connected over a network
- Game monitoring
- Processing data
SLIDE 14
Persistent Games
- Most traditional and thorough use of
databases
- Continually logging data
- Added component of database security

- Purpose
- Reception
SLIDE 19
Static Difficulty Levels
- What they are/ intention
- What the changes are
- Problems with this set-up
SLIDE 20
Sliders
- What they are
- Pros/Cons
- Do they work?
