I understand that game developers type thousands of lines of code for a single game such as any version of a game anyone of us plays every day. How could their source code stored in many files of the game can be executed through a single application and I can play the game itself? What is their code’s journey to our PCs?
In: Technology
As a simplified answer, the source code is written in a specific computer language. Tools called compilers take the source code and translate them in to binary files that the computer can actually execute. It is those files that are distributed for the specific game.
Again, this is a wee bit simplified and I’m sure there’s going to be some “yes, but…” responses. Lol
