Introduction:
In this assignment, I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various platform options for
developing computer games, hardware options and their impact on game creation, and software
options and their impact on game development. Furthermore, I will cover the applications of game
engines, their capabilities, and how they help computer game creators.

Item Device Examples Impact on Gaming
CPU Processing Intel Core i7 for The central processing unit (CPU) is the brains
PC of the computer.
The performance of a computer game is
determined by the processor's capabilities. In
the case of a video game, the CPU is in charge
of calculating all of the game's system
requirements.
Because games consoles are optimised to
function with fewer details, they can employ
slower CPUs.
Mobile devices, such as smart phones, have
substantially slower CPUs, making large-scale
games with intricate visuals impossible to play.
GPU Processing NVIDIA Quadro
RTX™ 5000 A graphics processing unit (GPU) manages the
16GB production of images on the display.
Serious gaming requires a significant amount of
graphical processing power. Although most
conventional PCs have graphics processing built
in, many games require a specialised graphics
card. Adding a graphics card to your Gaming PC
will give you a noticeable boost in performance.
The GPU on your mobile device is crucial since it
allows games to run more effectively and
appear better because of higher resolution
visuals and faster framerates.
RAM Processing RGB PRO 16GB RAM is important because your system can
access data in it more quickly than it can
retrieve info from your main storage disk.
With low RAM, your computer won't be able to
store all the game info it needs to run properly,
leading to choppy frame rates and poor
performance.
ROM Processing DVD, CD If you are a console gamer then DVD is a
important thing because the game is installed in
the disk, if you want you can buy from
PlayStation store however disks are more
cheaper the digital store games.
Monitor Output MSI Optix Gaming monitors are designed to make the
