To begin with, I want to tell you general information about the GameDev sphere.

The development team consists of various positions:

• Game designer – develops the main idea of ​​the game, as well as ideas for all game mechanics with which the player interacts.

• The director thinks over the plot and dialogues of the game

• Designers, 2D and 3D artists are working on the visual component of the project

• And the developer combines all these elements into a single whole, collecting models, forcing the game world to come to life.

The term “game engine” is a direct copy of the English “Game Engine”.

In fact, this is a complex of programs combined into a single whole, with the help of which visualization, sound accompaniment, movement of game characters, their actions in accordance with scripts, and much more are provided.

This term first appeared in the mid-1990s. It was associated with games in the genre of “first-person shooter”,

or rather, with the most popular at that time Doom. The source code of this game was built very thoughtfully, with the main components highlighted: 3D graphics system, sounds, collision calculations, scripts. This led to the fact that game programmers did not write their own code, but used the achievements of the Doom developers,

having made some changes to the code: drawing other levels, changing the graphics and appearance of weapons, adjusting the rules and releasing new games based on the same code from Doom.

This is a translated course.

• For those who like games
