What is it like to work as a game programmer
I am 11th grader in SF and I loved gaming ever since I was little I was always fascinated by how games worked and when I was old enough I got my own laptop with good enough specs to look at some heavy steam game in which I look at how they were designed and I look at their game in a way as if I was judging them. I would learn how game gave different ways of being built giving them this sense of teamwork so I want to know how it feels to work as a game programmer #gaming #video-games #game-development #video-game-design #game-design

John’s Answer
Work as a game programmer can be very different depending on the size, type, and platform of the game. Programmers can be responsible for all different kinds of things, including development tools, graphics, networking, memory management, user interface and interaction, and of course gameplay systems and logic. Different engineers often work on different aspects depending on their individual specialties or preferences. Generally speaking, all engineers share a love of coding/programming, problem solving, and playing games! If it's what you are passionate about doing, it's a very rewarding career.
