Task 17

The engine

Game engine is the core software component of a computer-video game or other interactive applications with real-time graphics. It provides the underlying technologies, simplifies development, and often enables the game to run on multiple platforms such as game consoles and desktop operating systems such as Linux, Mac, OS X, and Microsoft Windows. These games are sometimes called “game middleware”.

The main advantages are the game reducing costs, complexities, and time-to-market. In other words the engines contain features to make a game easily (not to create everything for scratch). Disadvantages are pretty much the same like the advantages, except that the time and the cost reduced; the complexities you have to use are limited such as the engine. The next generation engines must give a better level of processing (page per second) and detail.

Let’s play with the colours..

The subtractive colour theory of mixing colours to create colours which absorb some wavelengths of light and reflect others. Also the additive colour system involve light emitted directly from a source or illuminant of some sort. The additive reproduction process usually use red, green and blue light to produce the other colours.
