What is a game engine programmer
Design video games and "make" the games from beginning to end. Answer First: A game engine is a programming framework that allows multiple games to be built from different libraries of images, characters, environments and sounds so that a group of game designers can pay more attention to the game elements and less to the basic programming of the game. Doom was a game that had it's basic gameplay code created as a game engine and other games were able to be made from the work of Id's programmers. Second: A game engine programmer is responsible for the code that determines the physics, the basic gameplay, and what kind of assets are able to be used in generation of a game.
