¿qué es un Game Engine?

Un Game Engine maneja diferentes tipos de componentes necesarios para crear el producto final.

game engine

  • Physics engine: Together, game physics and collision engines will work to detect collisions in-game and calculate the results. In other words, it lets you simulate laws of physics inside your game.

  • Artificial intelligence (AI): In games, AI gives non-playable characters (NPCs) responsive, intelligent behaviors. The more sophisticated the AI, the more realistic in-game scenarios can become.

  • Audio engine: The sound or audio engine provides the framework to create and manage sound effects and music within the game. Animation engine: This is responsible for generating animations in the game based on keyframes (or positions) designated by animators. Depending on the complexity of your animations, the engine may be able to interpolate animations between keyframes to create smooth-looking motion.

  • Rendering engine: The rendering engine is responsible for managing the 2D and 3D assets displayed on the screen. It takes the models, lighting, texturing, and shading data and turns them into an image on the screen.

Historia de Godot

It was created by Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur in 2007 and released publicly under the MIT license in 2014. Historia de Godot
