How does source code turn into PC games?

2.15K views

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?

They use a compiler and this compiles the code into an application and a set of libraries so that you can play the game on your PC.

Most are then packaged up into installers which actually install it to some location on your computer.
