The story
Games now live in pockets, in Minecraft and Roblox worlds built by players, in esports stadiums, in VR headsets, and on controllers designed for every kind of body. Behind almost all of them sits a game engine, the shared toolbox that handles gravity, light, sound and collisions so creators can focus on ideas.
What you'll learn
- A game engine handles physics, graphics, sound and collisions for you.
- Player-made worlds mean the people playing are also the people creating.
- Accessible controllers let far more people press start.
- Kid takeaway: the tools are free now, so your game can be next.
