[Belle1997]

For all those who have no clue what the programmers do. I fould this on wikipedia.org Gameprogrammer. After being chastized for not understanding what they do I decide to learn more. For detailed info on each program task. Head over there

A game programmer is a programmer who primarily develops video games or related software (such as game development tools). Game programming has many specialized disciplines; practitioners of any may regard themselves as "game programmers". A game programmer should not be confused with a game designer; many designers are also programmers, but not all are, and it is rare for one person to serve both roles in modern professional games.

A game designer is a person who designs games. The term can refer to a person who designs video games, or one who designs traditional games such as board games.

Wow I never knew there were so many jobs to put together a game.

And the interesting fact is the designer may not even input anything.

Started this post so us ancient people the never played any computer games before VMK have a better understanding of what it take to make a game.

Very complex

no there are two spellings for that word, I just prefer the second q: anyway I was not willing to chastise you on my part, it is just than being a programmer, I would not like to be treated like I thought you did with VMK programmers and also I thought you had something against programmers (now maybe you do q: )

But yes, that is nice that you looked at it
