Game Loop - One Byte Explainer

This is a submission for the Web Game Challenge: One Byte Explainer

Explainer

In simple words, Game loop is like when you play a pokemon rom, you have to battle with the Gym leader until you win. This sometimes become annoying ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Additional Context

Not only battle but every step in a game is game loop. There are different type of game loop . In a game loop, the main process are input, update and render. These process makes the game playable.

Its like when you hit a key, the program will look for the function and then render the result.

For a more better example, when you press W on a keyboard, the program moves the player one step upwards and then changes the player current position to new position.

That's how it works in simple word ๐Ÿ˜ Hope this post will help you ๐Ÿ˜Š
