Game engine
April 26th, 2009 by thesuper

A game engine (Anglicism literal English translation by game engine) is a term that refers to a set of programming routines that enable the design, creation and representation of a video game.
The analogy with a car engine is illustrative: the engine under the hood is not visible but gives you the functionality that the car is to carry. The same analogy can explain some of the things that usually drive a game engine: the textures and 3D models would be the body, paint and interior.
Just as body, paint and exterior of a car are not functional without an engine to which are added, the graphics and the scripts of the game will not work without a game engine. An example of a game engine would be the graphics engine of the game Doom.
