The duties and responsibilities of a video game programmer vary as they have different responsiblities when it comes to the project they are working on. As a programmer you are in charge of essentially the core aspects of a video game. The core aspects of a video game would include graphics, physics and even audio. Graphics are how the game would look to the people the project is meant to entertain and the responsibility of the programmer is to ensure that the graphics they create are just right for their intended audience. They would even need to make sure that audio on the game runs smoothly and that there aren’t any errors. The physics of the game are also most important as the physics are what make the game feel so real. The physics allow the player to actually interact with the game and do what they want to do. Though all of these responsibilities involve programming which a programmer must already know at least some of if not most of it. Coding is a key essential towards creating a game as coding allows for the game to function with it’s proper graphics, good audio and outstanding physics. All these core aspects of a game itself are not able to be fully completed without proper coding otherwise the game will not work right or it might not be appealing to the fans that the company is intending to create it for.
