Web Games
Any computer game that requires an Internet connection to play falls under the umbrella term of "Web game." Some computer games are considered Web games if they have multi-player capabilities that enable online co-op and competitive, head-to-head play. Some Web games are online only, meaning that you can only play the game using your Web browser. This kind of Web game has no hardware or downloadable software beyond a basic computer and a browser.
Game Programming
Game programming is a branch of game development that involves writing various programs that control and run the game. Programming is a necessary step in the production of nearly all game types, including computer, arcade, and console games. Game programming, particularly Web game programming, is a common hobby as well as a professional career. Game programming is also used as a practice tool for students studying basic programming language at all levels of study.
