Glossary

Code a sequence of specially written instructions in a programming language that is used to define the behaviour, logic and functionality of the game. These instructions control how characters move, how the game world reacts, how sound effects play, and many other aspects of the game experience. The code forms the technical backbone of a videogame and allows developers to program and implement the desired interactions and sequences in the game. In a simple engine, such as Bitsy, programming is somewhat simplified because code is not written directly. Instead, preprogrammed commands are strung together.
