In this work, we present some best practices in the development of arcade games. Creating computer games may be a profitable business. Additionally, it can be a job that is done with passion and commitment.

People who create computer games should also be aware of the basic animation principles to strive for perfection of their products and make the game aesthetic and eye-pleasing. In this paper, we also introduce the rules for creating game storylines and characterize some useful tool for programists to cope with working on such a large and multi-faceted project as creating your own computer game.
