How Do Video Games Work by Josh

How do video games work? Well I’ll tell you. For starters there’s actually nothing on the TV. You know that flash in the middle of your TV? That’s the part that makes you think there’s something on the screen. It’s all just an illusion created by that flash of light. When someone codes a game there’s a code that not many people know about that creates that flash. Depending on the mother board in beaded in the game disk/chip will create the illusion of a specific code in color to create a living playable movie.

Now moving on. Some video games are appealing to five year olds. Others twenty five year olds. Because of the perfect balance of the elements of a great story adventure, danger, colorful and daring characters and a plot. Video game makers do their best to put players inside the game, an attempt to give them the most intense and entertaining experience. So how do these creative, technically skilled folks do this?

Video game makers also turn to video game software, which is specially designed to facilitate the vast amount of computer software code needed to bring a game to life. Home video game systems, also known as consoles, are a popular form of entertainment. In 2000, Sony estimated that one out of every four households in the United States had a Sony PlayStation. Since then the numbers have only increased, with systems like the Nintendo Wii luring the Holy Grail of the video game market. 

But every great thing one day dies. Sometimes its hackers that kills. It sometimes it’s just that games time to die. Like the blue line of death on a ps4.Or the three red rings of death on an Xbox 360. Or the game just doesn’t want to work.  

Now remember don’t get to attached to your game cause there’s always a hacker out there.
