   Difference between a Games Designer and Games Programmer?
  Hi,What is the scope of a games designer? A games programmer?Thanks,M   
  Primarily One designs, one programs.... although in my experiance programmers tend to have feed back on design where as if the designer can't code they have no direct influence on code (beyond "lets change feature X to Y" type requests).   ;  Designer says: "I want a program that displays 'Hello World!' in the console."Programmer says:static void main(string[] args){Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");}The designer tells the programmer what to tell the computer to do and the programmer tells the computer what the designer told him to tell it to do.(Arrows mean communication).Designer <--> Programmer <--> Computer.   ;  Programmers do all the work, and designers get all the credit. I don't know if that's true of the games industry, however.;Quote:Original post by speciesUnknownProgrammers do all the work, and designers get all the credit. I don't know if that's true of the games industry, however.In some cases it is..But in most cases it's the publishers who reap the greatest rewards from an acclaimed title..
