An engine is a software platform or framework used by game developers to create, design and run games. A game engine is a collection of tools, libraries and functions that allow developers to create the technical part of a game without having to start from scratch. In most engines, for example, functions for graphics, physics and sound are preserved, as well as often advanced functions. These elements provide a foundation for development on which the entire game can be built. | |||
