Is video game development the most scientific job in the world?

It's more science than art though, you could get as many artists as you want and you still wouldn't have a game unless someone made a computer and someone coded the game.

Games also take a lot of credit for pushing technology forward. Sadly not many people realize this.

The problem resides in men and women like Da Vinci.

Who primarily see themselves as artists and their science a byproduct of their persuit of art. See what I mean? Science is but a core truth or principle in the material world. The renaissance brought it fourth due to the persuit of art. To them these truths and their art were one and the same.

Computing is more science than art...however making a game and appeal requires imagination. Flexabillity. Ultimately. Struggle. However. If you are a monumental evil genious... You give the stones conciousness. Then make them suffer for you. Eternaly screaming. Just like our sun.

Virtually anything can be SIMULATED in a videogame. That doesn't mean it's scientific or reflects reality.

I can write a game where magic works or portal guns do or coyotes are unaffected by gravity until they notice they're not standing on anything.
The "physics" is limited only by the programmer's imagination.
So f*** off with your brainlessness!

Good. You understand this. The next step is understanding that this teaches us about our own reality.

You need a relatively high IQ in order to make that logical jump. Good luck.

I'm not saying game developers are master scientists

But you have to realize that you can push science to its limits just by implementing a simulation and passing it as a videogame

It can be. It definitely uses the most computational power.
