ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Game engine recreation

Hi there! Today, we're going to talk about game engine recreation - but let's explain it like you're 5 years old!

Have you ever played a video game before? You know how cool they look, right? Well, did you know that they are made up of different parts? Just like you have a head, arms, and legs that all work together to make you go, video games have different parts that work together too!

One of the most important parts of a video game is something called the "game engine." The game engine is like the brain of the video game - it knows how all the parts should work together to make a fun and cool game!

Sometimes, people want to create their own video games, but they don't want to start from scratch. Instead, they might try to "recreate" a game engine that already exists. That means they'll look at how the original game engine works and try to make their own version of it.

This can be really tricky, because it's like trying to make a new recipe from memory! You might forget an ingredient or mess up the measurements. But if you get it right, you can use your new game engine to make your own cool games - just like the professionals!

So, in short, game engine recreation is kind of like making a new recipe by trying to remember how to make one that already exists. But if you get it right, you can use it to create your own awesome video games!
