Game Engines

A game or game engine is an environment for software development, also known as a game architecture or game framework. This environment offers settings and configurations that optimize and simplify the development of video games using a variety of programming languages. A game engine can include: An engine that edits and imports 2D or 3D graphics; a physics engine that simulates the real world; AI that responds directly to the player, an engine for sound effects or an engine for animations. Game engines are highly complex and make the development of video games much easier.
