Computer Science (AutoRecovered)

Computer science is essential for video games, enabling improved graphics, multiplayer gameplay, and virtual/augmented reality experiences. It has addressed issues like poor graphics through advances that allow highly detailed characters and worlds. Programming languages like C++ and Java are well-suited for game development and allow creators to do things like complex multiplayer games that were previously impossible.

Computer science- Games

How is computer science used in video games?


Computer science is used in video games, video games depend on computer science
because without computer science there would be no video games. The Increases of
computer science has also impacted the video games by improving their graphics,
Enhanced Multiplayer games, cloud games, virtual and augmented reality.

How has computer science fixed a problem in video games?


A major problem in video games were the quality of the graphics. The graphics in the 1970
were terrible. They could only show a very pixelated character. Now in 2022 we have very
detailed characters and very powerful pc and consoles. With the advancements in computer
science the programming of video games and become way better. In the 1970 the games
were simple and were basically the same every level. But now in 2022 the games produced
have tons of different game modes in a single game. In a game We might have multiplayer,
story mode and a mode where you can do what you want. Computer science has also
allowed people to make games that re free to play and still get a profit. Before the internet
people had to play arcade games and if there was more than one person then they had to
share. When one dies the next one goes. But with the invention of the internet, we can enjoy
games at home and play them together with multiplayer.

What makes the use of computer science better the prior


approaches?
Before the invention of the computer and computer science, games were simple and very
different that today’s games. Before the invention of computer people played games with
cards and small tokens. Computer science is better than this approach because we now can
have different types of games other than games with cards and tokens. We also can play
games together from our own home and play together with friends. But with card games we
could not play at home or with out friends that often. Computer science made games more
interesting and fun to play. Because we have thousands of different types of game to play
everyone can play what they like and be what they like. Computer science has made games
look better sound better and feel better. Computer science made the making of video games
faster. With computer science came programming. Programming made the making of video
games better and more straight forward because if you wrote the script correctly then the
game will work, and the computer executes the script perfectly every time.

Dose computer science allow creators to do things easier,


faster or in way that were impossible before?
Computer science does allow creators to do things easier because of programming.
Programming is needed to create a video game. Well-grounded programming languages like
Java and C++. C++ is used in video game creation because it’s a low-level language. A low-
level language is good because it allows the creator to have flexibility and is much faster to
write. But with higher level languages like python, it takes a long time to write. Java is also
used to make video games. But in the last decade people don’t use java to make games for
console or pc anymore. Java is mostly used in android games (mobile games) and browser
games. The reason it is not used in console because new console does not have JVM so it
can’t be written in Java. Creators can do lots of things because of C++ and Java that were
impossible before. Before in 2010 games had bad graphics and took only 10 GB (giga bites)
to download (which was a lot at the time) In 2022 games take 100 to 200 GB to download.
The games in 2022 have very good graphics and has a longer playtime and a better story.
Back then it would have been impossible to have set up a multiplayer game that millions of
people play every day. In 2022 basically all games have a multiplayer option.

What is an interesting fact about the use of computer science in


the video game industry or interesting product that was created
with computer science?
An interesting product that used computer science in the video game industry is the noise
cancelling headphones. I find this interesting because headphones look as if they would let
other people hear your music or game and you can hear what they are saying. But noise
cancelling headphone are very interesting because the way this works is they have a
microphone on the headphones and when the sound comes before reaching the ear it
neutralises the sound. Another thing tat was interesting was the Kinect for Xbox. The Kinect
is interesting because when you use it you can play games without controller. You can play
tennis by swinging you hand to move the racquet in the games same as running to run you
have to run on the spot. The way that the Kinect works is by 3 sensors (one is an RGB, one
is an VGA video camera, and one is a multi-array microphone). The Kinect uses these
sensors to show red, blue and green input that shows the physical features and wit the
microphone shows the sound input.

What questions are you left with after exploring the use of
computer science in the video game industry?
I have a few questions about the video game industry. The first one is how long does it take
to create a game. The answer to tis question is 3 to 5 years. The next one is why don’t they
use any other programming languages? The speed of java and C++ are way better to use
for video games. How do the creators start making the video game? They start by picking a
concept and an art style. Then they make the character and the plot. Then they start
programming the game after 3 to 5 years when it’s finished the game is released to
everyone.
