Abstract

This thesis provides a thorough examination of the evolution of video games and their profound impact on modern culture, from their emergence in the 1950s to the present day. Through extensive literature review and analysis of historical data, this work charts the trajectory of the gaming industry, from the early arcade games to modern virtual reality platforms. The research highlights how video games have evolved from a simple form of entertainment into a multifaceted cultural phenomenon that influences education, art, the economy, and social interaction. Special emphasis is given to the analysis of modern trends, such as mobile gaming, esports, and indie games, as well as the future prospects of the field. The findings demonstrate that video games have become an integral part of contemporary digital culture, shaping new ways of communication, entertainment, and learning. The thesis concludes with the presentation of a practical part, which will showcase an example of developing a simple game, Snake, with the aim of applying the technological analyses that preceded it.
