  • Java Game Developer Interview Questions and Answers Guide
    Java Game Developer Interview Questions And Answers Guide. Global Guideline. https://www.globalguideline.com/ Java Game Developer Interview Questions And Answers Global Guideline . COM Java Game Developer Job Interview Preparation Guide. Question # 1 What is the 'Platform independence 'properties of java? Answer:- The very essence of the platform independence of Java lies in the way the code is stored, parsed and compiled - bytecode. Since these bytecodes run on any system irrespective of the underlying operating system, Java truly is a platform-independent programming language. Read More Answers. Question # 2 Tell us what will you bring to the team? Answer:- I will bring a large amount of support to the team, I endeavour to make sure my team reaches the goal they so desperately need. I feel that adding me to the team will bring our performance up a notch. Read More Answers. Question # 3 Tell us is Game Development Subcontracted? Answer:- I was having a conversation with someone who believed that components of a games code where subcontracted out to programmers in different countries where it would be cheaper, then assembled by the local company. I understand that people often use pre-built engines but I would think that making the actual game would require people to work closely in the same studio. Read More Answers. Question # 4 Tell me is There A Portal Dedicated To Html5 Games? Answer:- Just to get something straight; by "portal", I mean a website that frequently publishes a certain type of games, has a blog, some articles, maybe some tutorials and so on. All of these things are not required (except the game publishing part, of course), for example, I consider Miniclip to be a flash game portal.

  • Comparativo Entre Game Engines Como Etapa Inicial Para O Desenvolvimento De Um Jogo De Educação Financeira
    Comparativo entre Game Engines como Etapa Inicial para o Desenvolvimento de um Jogo de Educação Financeira Carlos Henrique Leitão Cavalcante1, Maria Luciana Almeida Pereira 1 1Instituto Federal de Educação Ciência e Tecnologia do Ceará (IFCE) Rodovia BR 020, Km 303, s/n - Jubaia, 62700-000 – Canindé – CE – Brasil {henriqueleitao, lucianaalmeidaaa}@gmail.com Abstract. The teaching of financial management is not present in basic education in Brazil or when it is addressed it may not arouse students' interest. Teaching this theme in a playful way through a children's mobile game, it is an interesting alternative. However, to develop this game without great programming knowledge is necessary a game engine that facilitates its implementation. In this way, this work aims to present a comparison between some engines for game development, serving as input for choosing an engine. In the end, Godot presented itself as the best game engine, presenting greater facilities for game development. Resumo. O ensino da gestão financeira não está presente na educação fundamental no Brasil ou quando é abordado pode não despertar o interesse dos alunos. Ensinar de forma lúdica essa temática através de um jogo de celular para crianças, mostra-se uma alternativa interessante. Contudo, para desenvolver este jogo sem grandes conhecimentos de programação é necessário uma game engine que facilita sua implementação. Desta forma, este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um comparativo entre algumas engines para desenvolvimento de jogos, servindo de insumos para escolha de uma engine. Ao final, o Godot se apresentou como melhor motor de jogo, apresentando maiores facilidades para desenvolvimento de jogos. 1.
