  Computer scientists make computer games. To make a game very realistic, you would need to have a good understanding of the physics of the world.

  Absolutely! I studied science at university with lots of people looking at going into gaming. Did you know that Dundee university do a world class degree in gaming design? You learn all sorts about the science of designing and making computer games!

  Yes very much so – as a climate adaptation specialist we use gaming theory to develop games that can be played with groups to better understand how climate might affect their lives now and in the future

  Yes! Gaming is very related to science. Lots of people working in game design are expert mathematicians and computer scientists- and these people are essential to making a game play and run well!

  Yes! The others have answered this well. One point to add – software engineers help to develop games and test them too. My cousin works for EA as a software engineer, and he always used to bring new games for to try when I was younger and visited my family over Christmas!
  
  Engineering is the branch of science which deals with designing and building structures of engines (e.g. train engines), machines (e.g. computers) and structures (e.g. bridges).

  I’m afraid as a social scientist I am completely out of my depth here. So I like the other scientists answers – for me – games in my world are things that people play
