Software Game Engine
The first topic will talk and explain about software. Therefore, the software
is use for operating the computer for every task that helps for the user to do any
kind of task such as creating game, creating presentation, reports and more. In
another term also, software also known as application, scripts and programs
which run the platforms. As a result, below will explain is about the game
engine software which are shows on the list below.
·
Unity Game Engine
·
Godot Game Engine
·
Unreal Game Engine
Unity Game Engine: For
the first game engine is Unity Game Engine. This engine is one of the most and
famous engines ever in game industry and even the top game engine ever used.
Furthermore, the uses of this game engine, is to allow the user create they own
video game by using all the features that already been build-in inside the software
which support for 2D and 3D type of graphics. Furthermore, this game engine
also uses for simulation as well because of the features of 3D that the
software provides for the user. In addition, Unity Game Engine also a
cross-platform game engine that’s means the video game can be either for
computer, mobile phone and console platform. However, this game engine famous
and well-known for mobile phone platform and VR (Virtual Reality).

of time needed.
·
The software also provides a good result, which can be one of the
features. Where this engine can produce high-quality graphics for example
create AAA style of games, good in audio part and have a full-throttle action
on it. Without any glitches happen on the user screen.
· Lastly, this software also features ‘Asset Store’ where inside that store have lots of already made models inside. Which can help the user to use that available asset for their project and can reduce time for the user to create a video game by using this software.
On Figure.2 below shows that how the Unity Game engine looks like on the inside of it. Where it shows the process of animation by the software.
Godot Game Engine: For
the second software game engine that will explain the uses and the short definition
is about Godot Game Engine. In Figure.3 above
shows the logo of this software that looks like a robot head design. Furthermore,
this engine is one the game engine that famous on creating 2D video game.
However, it also supports for 3D type of video game but its recommended more
into 2D due to its easy to use by this software. Therefore, the uses of this software
will be, it allows the user to create video games in a form of 2D or 3D type
that create from the scratch without any assets that already build-in inside
like Unity. Unlike Unity this software is based on ‘node’ where it can be reusable.
Moreover, the user will have all game resources saved inside their computer file
systems. Another uses also, on this software is it can be use by these 3
operating systems such as macOS, Windows and Linux. This software one of
cross-platform which are targeting Mobile Phone, Web Platforms and PC.
For the what
kind of language program that use for this software, the answer will it support
lots of languages on this software. That include C++, C# and other type
languages such as Rush and Nim. Not only that, this software also have they own
script which it commonly use by the user which is GDScript, that similar like Python
language. In terms of its either the software is free or not; the answer will
be yes, it is free to use for the developer or user to create they video games.
In conclusion of the use of this software is like Unity, where it allows the
user to create they video game in a form of 2D or 3D type of video game. Where
it recommended to use 2D type of video game with this software. In addition,
this software, as well don’t have any already made game assets which tell the
uses of it to allow the user to learn creating the video game from the scratch
by using the tools that been build-in inside. On Figure.3.1 below shows one
of the example of game that created by using this engine and how the software
looks like on the inside.
For the next
part will be the features that have inside the software itself, where it helps
the process to be faster and easier for the user to use or it help the user to
create a good video game.
·
The first
features of this software will be it have a gorgeous 3D graphics. This is because
of this software is easy to use shader language due to it based on GLSL that
already build-in inside the software with code completion. Another reason also because
of this software have global illumination that help for pre-baked in order to create
beautiful result.
·
The next
feature that have inside the software is it easy to create a 2D video game. This
is because of the software have this software have build in the tools inside such
