This presentation teaches the challenging process of designing an architecture for a Big Data Analytics System using a game called Smart Decisions. In this participatory session, you'll have fun and learn about the challenging process of designing an architecture for a Big Data Analytics System by playing a game called Smart Decisions, which simulates the architecture design process through a series of iterations.
The game can be played individually or as a group of architects, and the players compete against each other in a simulated architecture design activity for a complex Big Data Analytics System. In each iteration, the players must solve a challenge associated with an iteration goal and a set of architectural drivers including quality attributes and constraints. Solving this challenge requires making design decisions that, in the game, are the selection of one or more design concepts such as tactics, patterns, or externally developed components such as frameworks.
What makes the game so nostalgic to you now, and what made it your favorite all those years ago? Well, the answer to that is never simple. In order to design a good video game, a game developer needs to tackle several aspects at once. However, all these aspects combine to form a lasting impression in the gamers mind.
You will come across several serious gamers who are continually on the quest to find their old favorites. It enables the designers and game developers to let their creative juices flow and design some of the most fascinating game universes. These include time-constraint, financial, space, labor, materials, and other such tangible aspects. As such, game developers and designers can create ultra-realistic, luxurious game universes that capture the hearts of players.
Moreover, they can design the game universe without following the rules and constraints of our real world. Now that we have talked at length about the significance of architecture in video gaming, you might be wondering what its functionality is.
As we see in the real world, architecture creates the building blocks for all the structures and spaces around us. Architects build a world around us that we can navigate with ease and interest. In the same way, game developers and designers build a storyline and gameplay that makes the video game what it is to players.
As such, there are five primary functions of architecture in video gaming. Understanding these aspects will help you learn more about the importance and need for good architecture in games. One of the most common gameplays we can come across in video gaming is the aspect of exploration.
The game developer designs the video game like a maze or a puzzle that the player needs to explore. They have to overcome obstacles and explore the various parts of the game universe to get to the next levels or reach places within the game.
Many designers provide players with a map within the game universe. This allows them to navigate the new world in an easier way. However, if the game does not have a map, the players must rely on memory to explore the universe and remember their way around it. They might have to go back to certain spots in the game to find hidden aspects or unlock prizes. Designers must make use of lights, shadows, subtle movement, and sounds to guide the player through the game universe. This gives them auditory and visual clues about where to go next and how to approach the gameplay.
Another fascinating aspect of using architecture in gameplay is to conceal objects, tasks, or other players within the game universe. Designers make use of various elements within the game to create hidden challenges which the players must overcome. It also adds an element of surprise and intrigue while constantly keeping the player on their toes.
Some games involve complex or straightforward rules where the players or objects can and cannot move in certain ways. These rules are designed by the game players to promote certain gameplay that makes the game what it is. Architecture in video game design establishes these rules that govern how certain players or pieces can move within the game.
It also establishes the boundaries within which the players have the freedom to use the tools or weapons in the game universe. Finally, architecture is used in video game design to build obstacles that players must overcome to reach the next levels of the game. Though, that doesn't mean one cannot decorate and renovate to their heart's content, as these house building games give players tons of crafting options and construction choices!
Just be sure to gather adequate resources before night falls, as that is the time to stay indoors and do some interior decorating while the zombies and other hideous fiends wander about outside one's comfy abode.

Not only will savage beasts and other wandering threats assault the player, but other humans gamers can do so as well since there is a robust online multiplayer function. However, if one can survive long enough to get a foothold on some desired terrain, players can put together impressive structures from the individual wall and floor tiles that grant a great degree of flexibility.
Thankfully, there are some anti-griefing procedures that prevent players from destroying or building over another's hard work. While the building aspects in Don't Starve don't include being able to build a literal house from individual components, there are still plenty of structures that can be built in-game to create something akin to a home.
For example, players can surround certain areas with walls to keep out unwanted visitors and put down various kinds of flooring for benefits like increased movement speed and more.
There are even structures that can be built which will allow players to sleep indoors temporarily, such as the various huts which can grant shelter from the rain as well as provide recovery of one's health and sanity.
