Artists, animators, musicians and programmers collaborate to build a game. Professional game developers program in C++ to get maximum performance and speed. They build games for platforms such as Windows XP, Linux, MacOS etc. Games built on one platform cannot work on the other platforms since the code generated is platform specific.
