LESSON 12

GAME PROGRAMMER

12.1 Прочитай, переведи текст GAME PROGRAMMER и ответь на вопросы:

1. What is the main task of game programmer?

2. What coding skills should game programmers have?

3. What technologies do game programmers use, except traditional languages?

4. What disciplines considered as games programming?

5. Are game designers and game programmers do same things?

A game programmer is a software engineer who primarily develops computer or video games. Games programming has many specialized disciplines, such as a graphics programmer, sound programmer, user interface programmers, game scripters and many others. All of these profiles would consider themselves “game programmers".

A game programmer should not be confused with a game designer. While many games designers are also programmers it is rare for one person to do both in modern games development. A successful game programmer must be willing to work closely with a variety of nontechnical people, write code according to detailed specifications and endure long hours to produce the next spectacular video game.

A game programmer must be fluent in a variety of languages and be able to switch when needed. Start with traditional languages like C and C++ and some understanding of machine languages and embedded programming. Game designers rely heavily on physics engines, game libraries and special purpose languages so programmers must have the skills to learn new tools quickly, getting up to speed reading manuals and following code examples.
