Programming environment and GUI
A difficult environment can lead to eventual loss of interest.
A
ll game engines use a system of programming of some kind, whether it’s a traditional programming language, a visual scripting system or both. You can come into game development with some programming experience that you can adapt to game programming, or you can use game development as your introduction to programming. In addition to traditional, text-based computer programming, Unity, Unreal Engine and Godot feature visual scripting systems.
The editors of all of these game engines also include a graphical portion to edit the 2D or 3D scene and a means of organising the various files that make up the game. Modern programming tends to use object orientation, and in this case the objects include enemies, bullets and the player. The editor of the game engine enables you to edit attributes and attach objects such as behaviour scripts to other objects.
