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
The code is compiled into binary or byte code, and then deployed onto the target platform (that could be download to your PC or run on a server, depending on the architecture of your game). That final set of deployed files is generally managed by the game’s main executable file, which would grab the image files or sound files or whatever that it needed as you got to that point in the game.
