The scene concept

Learn what a scene is and how it breaks a game into parts.

What Is a Scene?

A scene is a collection of objects that forms a specific part or screen of a game. The main menu, gameplay area, and results screen can be organized as separate scenes. Each scene can contain its own characters, visuals, and other game objects.

Game
├── Main Menu Scene
├── Gameplay Scene
└── Results Scene

Scenes help divide a large game into smaller, more manageable parts.

Scene Hierarchy

Objects in a scene can be organized in a tree structure. This structure is called a hierarchy. Child objects such as characters, cameras, or visuals can be placed under parent objects.

Gameplay Scene
├── Character
│   ├── Visual
│   └── Camera
└── Ground

A hierarchy makes it easier to view and organize relationships between objects in a scene.

Exercise List the Objects in a Scene

Create an array named sceneObjects. Add the values Karakter, Kamera, and Zemin in that order. Print the array using console.log().

Show example solution

Test yourself

Which structure can be used to manage a game's main menu separately from its gameplay area?
- A separate scene
- A new graphics card

Define the Scene Structure

const scene = {
    name: "Oyun Sahnesi",
    ____: ["Karakter", "Zemin"]
};
console.log(scene.objects);

Show answer

const scene = {
    name: "Oyun Sahnesi",
    objects: ["Karakter", "Zemin"]
};
console.log(scene.objects);
