I’m having to put my game engine on hold (or at least much slower development) as I have just started my final two college courses (Relational databases: theory and practice and Fundamentals of interaction design) for a degree in computing.
The Interaction design course has some specific usage to game design with the interface and interaction, so I’m looking forward to that.
The database course is going to be useful as I am planing on using sqlite-jdbc
for media storage in my development tools, and for possible rpg data, skills, trades ect. in actual games.
So the question is :
‘How have you used databases/DBMS in your games/development?’
and if not :
'What other methods do you use to manage your data?
- xml
- text file
- your own binary data format
- not applicable as everything in your game is completely procedurally generated
- shush… its top secret… :persecutioncomplex:
