Game Architecture

Abstract

The term game architecture should be distinguished from game design . Game design is what your game looks like and how it is played. Game architecture, on the other hand, is how it is built. Within the software industry in general, the term design usually refers to what I call architecture in this book. Within the game development industry, however, Game Designers create the game design and Game Programmers create the game architecture. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
