What is the technology used in computer games?

[Terese Bologne]

This question is very broad in nature. But sometime back I had the same question in mind :) So I got curious and explored a bit, of how to create a game.

For a windows based game, developers take advantage of Graphic libraries like DirectX.

For web, it is WebGL (recently) before that Canvas or Flash based games.

For Android, OpenGLES.

Simply put, a graphic library helps you create diagrams, shapes, render colors. Wire them up with Event listeners - keyboard key listener, mouse listener. Throw in some basic gameplay and Voila you have a Game.

Technological progress is constantly evolving, and so are the games. They become more complex and they need more powerful computers.

So you can understand how well it will work on your computer.
