	Game programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Game programming, a subset of game development, is the programming of computer, console or arcade games.
		Game developers try to account for as many configurations and the most common hardware, but there are so many different possible configurations of hardware and software that it is almost inevitable that someone, somewhere— especially for a popular game— will find systems or circumstances the programmers didn't account for.
		Game development companies are often very willing to spend thousands of dollars to make sure their programmers are well equipped.

		Game code on the server consists of every system that has anything to do with the rules of the game, scripting, object interaction, combat, trade, inventory, etc. etc.
		The case for Python as a game programming language is not clear cut.
		It also a good langage to learn game programming and that is a very precious thing (I just miss design by contract, but that just me).

		It is at this stage that decisions regarding the size of the game board, the types of objects, the shape of the objects and the location of the objects on the board, have to be made.
		During the game, various geometrical transformations of the objects have to be performed, such as rotations, translations, scaling, etc. Students designing the game must therefore be particularly familiar with coordinate geometry, linear algebra and trigonometry to be able to make these decisions.
		We also believe that game programming can exert a positive influence on at risk students by providing them with much needed excitement and motivation to pursue higher education as was evident by our experience Additionally, game programming is also a good field with plenty of opportunities as a career choice.

	Game Programming
		The trick to good programming is patients with trial and error; identifying any problems your program might have; understanding your problem; writing down alternative solutions to your problem; picking the best solution to your problem; writing down a set of instructions for your solution; and finally evaluate the solution.
		There is no need to dive into programming a long complicated game that you will not be able to finish, because it's to hard to understand.
		The graphics code I use for my DOS games will not work in a windows environment compiler like Microsoft's 6.0. The 6.0 Windows compiler is the best for graphics and sound, but is a little more complicated to use than the Borland 3.1.

		The result is that the game doesn’t seem balanced: it’s just too obvious that the computer is not playing well, and that the game is brain vs. brawn rather than brain vs. brain.
		It’s commonly believed that objects are too slow for games, but if you use them appropriately and only where they’re a benefit to your design, they should not be a major problem for speed.
		Economics is also important in multi-player game dynamics: you want to reward people for making money, yet you don’t want them to have so much power that new players cannot have fun.
