Gameplay Programmer Though all programmers add to the content and experience that a game provides, a gameplay programmer focuses more on a game's strategy, implementation of the game's mechanics and logic, and the "feel" of a game. This is usually not a separate discipline, as what this programmer does usually differs from game to game, and they will inevitably be involved with more specialised areas of the game's development such as graphics or sound. This programmer may implement strategy tables, tweak input code, or adjust other factors that alter the game. However, many of these aspects may be altered by programmers who specialise in these areas (for example, strategy tables may be implemented by AI programmers). A gameplay programmer is a programmer who will be responsible for code that directly touches on the game experience. That is, the programmer will be responsible for constructing the games, rather than engine or larger game systems.
Stockholm, Sweden Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and the most populous city in the Nordic countries; 952,058 people live in the municipality. The city stretches across fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea. Just outside the city and along the coast is the island chain of the Stockholm archipelago. The area has been settled since the Stone Age, in the 6th millennium BC, and was founded as a city in 1252 by Swedish statesman Birger Jarl. It is also the capital of Stockholm County. Stockholm is the cultural, media, political, and economic centre of Sweden. Stockholm also features a video game museum called Spelmuseum. One out of 10 people worldwide has played a video game from Sweden. Sweden’s video-game boom in the last half decade is one of the biggest success stories in the industry, fueled by a talented and creative workforce and the fruits of years of government support for education and technology. The country boasts the second-highest concentration of video-game studios per capita in the world.
