แต่ที่จะพูดถึงนี้ก็คือ Game Engine ที่เราสามารถนำมาใช้ในการเขียนเกมส์ได้ง่ายกว่าวิธีการแรก ที่ได้กล่าวมา คือ แทนที่ต้องหาไม้ที่เหมาะมาสร้างบ้านเอง แต่มีคนที่คอยจัดเตรียมวัสดุ และเครื่องมือต่าง ที่เราต้องการสร้างบ้านไว้ให้เราแล้ว ถ้าเปรียบกับการเขียนโปรแกรมเกมส์ก็คือ การเรียกใช้งานฟังก์ชั่นพื้นฐานต่างๆ ที่จำเป็นต้องใช้ในการเขียนเกมส์ ตัวอย่างเช่น การตรวจสอบระบบกราฟฟิคที่ เกมส์ต้องการว่าสนับสนุนหรือไม่ การโหลดไฟล์ภาพนามสกุลต่างๆ โหลดโมเดลสามมิติ และเสียง เป็นต้น ดังที่กล่าวมานั้นจะเห็นว่า การใช้ Game Engine จะช่วยลดระยะเวลาในการสร้างเกมส์ได้มากขึ้น อีกทั้งคนเขียนเกมส์เอง ก็ไม่ต้องแบกภาระมากมายในการศึกษาตั้งแต่พื้นฐาน ของการติดต่อระหว่าง ฮาร์ดแวร์กับ ซอฟท์แวร์อีกด้วย
Game Engine ต่างๆ ในปัจจุบันมีให้เลือกอยู่มากมาย หลายหลากแล้วแต่ความเหมาะสมกับเกมส์ที่ได้ออกแบบขึ้นมา สามารถดูได้ตามรายการ สำหรับการแนะนำ Game Engine ต่างๆ นั้นก็ติดตามกันต่อไปครับ
