Game Development History
The
development of online games itself can not be separated from the development of
computer technology and computer network. The booming of online games itself is
a reflection of the rapid computer network that was once small scale (small
local network) to become the Internet and continues to grow until now. Online
Games today is not the same as when online games were introduced for the first
time. When it first appeared in 1960, the computer could only be used for 2
people to play games. Then comes the computer with time-sharing capabilities so
that more players can play the game and not have to be in a same room
(Multiplayer Games).
Then
in 1970 when the emergence of packet-based computer network (packet based
computer networking), computer network is not only limited to the LAN but
already includes the WAN and become the Internet. The first online game to
appear mostly are war games or aircraft games used for military purposes that
eventually released and commercialized, these games then inspire other games to
emerge and grow. In 2001 was the culmination of dotcom fever, so the
dissemination of information about online gaming is accelerating.
Games based on it’s
graphics
- 2 Dimensions, games that adopt this
technology are usually low-spec games, not burdening the system. But games with
2D image quality are not good when compared to 3D games so the average online
game is now adopting 2.5D technology where the characters are still 2D but the
environment is already adopted 3D.
- 3
Dimensions, 3 type games Dictionary is a game with a good grapher in depiction
in reality, most of these games have a camera shift (angle) up to 360 degrees
so we can see the whole game world. However, 3D games require a fairly high
specification of the computer so that the 3 Dimensional display of the game is
displayed perfectly.
Based on payment method
The point is how online game
companies earn money from their games. Based on these categories online games
can be divided into 2 :
A. Pay Per Item, games in this
category are games that can be installed or played for free, and these games
usually charge a player if players want to level up quiclkly or buy rare items
that are never found in the game. This type of game is the most common in
Indonesia. Example: Gunbound, Ragnarok, Ghost Online, etc.
B. Pay per Play, this game must be
purchased and installed legally because at the time the game is installed ,it
will register the player to the internet directly and if the installed is
pirated program then the system will automatically block it. Example: War of
Warcraft, etc.
Kinds Of Online Games
There are 2 kinds of online games,
as follows.
- Online Game File-based offline
Installer
Online Game based on file installer
is a game that can be installed on the device without internet. However, to
play it, this game is required to have internet connection. The goal is to
connect player 1 to the game server then process it so that player 1 can
connect with other players who are also doing the same thing. That way, is
possible the occurrence of contact between one player with another player. This
type of game has advantages that usually lies in the graphics quality and
features are pretty cool. While the lack, this type of game tend to experience
lagging especially if the device used does not have a high specification.
- Web-Based Online Game
Web-based online game is different
from the previous one. If you previously used the installer file, but this time
Web-based online games take advantage of a browser or a web browser such as
Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. So, to play this type of game, a gamer just
need to open the browser and type the url address of the online game. After
that, the game can be played without having to undergo the installation
process. The advantages of this type of game lies in its easy and fast use.
However, for the drawback, the game as usual has a graphic image that tends to
be less good than the file-based online game installer. In addition, if the
internet connection is slow then the process of loading web-based online games
will be sluggish.

Dota 2
Dota 2 is a free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game developed and
published by Valve
Corporation. The game is the stand-alone sequel to Defense of the Ancients (DotA), which was a
community-created mod for Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion pack, The Frozen Throne. Dota 2 is played in
matches between two teams of five players, with each team occupying and defending
their own separate base on the map. Each of the ten players independently
controls a powerful character, known as a "hero", who all have
unique abilities and differing styles of play. During a
match, players collect experience
points and items for their heroes to successfully battle
the opposing team's heroes in player versus player combat. A team wins by being the first
to destroy a large structure located in the opposing team's base, called
"The Ancient".

Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO)
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed by Hidden Path Entertainmentand Valve

360,
and PlayStation

August 2012, with the Linux version released in September 2014. The
game pits two teams against each other: the Terrorists and the
Counter-Terrorists. Both sides are tasked with eliminating the other while also
completing separate objectives, the Terrorists, depending on the game mode,
must either plant the bomb or defend the hostages, while the Counter-Terrorists must either
prevent the bomb from being planted, defuse the bomb, or rescue the hostages.
There are eight game modes, all of which have distinct characteristics specific
to that mode.
PING in network games
Ping refers to the
network latency between a
player's client and the game server. Ping is reported
quantitatively as an average time in milliseconds (ms). The lower one's
ping is, the lower the latency is and the less lag the player will
experience. High ping and low ping are
commonly used terms in online gaming, where high ping refers
to a ping that causes a severe amount of lag; while any level of ping may cause
lag, severe lag is usually caused with a ping of over 100 milliseconds. In
games where timing is key, such as first-person shooter and real-time strategy games, a low ping is
always desirable, as a low ping means smoother gameplay by allowing faster
updates of game data between the players' clients and game server.
In some first-person shooter
games, a high ping may cause the player to unintentionally gain unfair
advantages, such as appear and disappearing from one location and instantaneously
reappear in another, simulating the effect of teleportation, thus making it
hard for other players to judge their character's position and subsequently
making the player much more difficult to target. To counter this, many game
servers automatically kick players with a ping higher than average. Conversely,
a high ping can make it very difficult for the player to play the game due to
negative effects occurring, making it difficult for the player to track other
players and even move their character
