Game Programming

Game programming means using core programming ideas, like loops, conditionals, and variables, to build an interactive experience that responds to player input and keeps track of a changing game state like score, position, or health. Many real-time games, like an action or arcade game, run inside a continuously repeating cycle, often called a game loop, that checks for input, updates the game's state, and redraws the screen many times each second for as long as the game keeps running, though a turn-based or text-based game can update far less often, only reacting when a player actually takes a turn.
