- What a video game really is and how computers bring it to life
- How game designers come up with ideas, characters, and entire worlds
- What a game engine does and why every game needs one
- How artists create the graphics and musicians compose the sound
- How the rules and physics of a game are programmed to work
- What controls do and how they connect players to the action
- Why game testers hunt for bugs — and what bugs actually are
- How finished games get shared with players around the world
