How are software and game templates designed?

Question

please don't mind my question since I don't know much about software because I come from a web perspective.. For example, in web css is used for the design and appearance

so..

How are the designs, templates, and environments created for software and games made with programs like c++ and java?

Are they designed with the same languges?

Answer 1

Are they designed with the same languages?

It depends on how the game developer has decided to do it.

• They could be implemented in (just) the coding language; e.g. C++ or Java.
• They could be implemented in part using some language provided by a standard games engine or framework ... or a more general (non-gaming) graphics / presentation framework ... or some general purpose scripting language (with an embeddable interpreter).
• They could be implemented in part using a game-specific language implemented by the game developer as part of his/her.

Or some combination ...
