Class 10, Collaborative Coding in PlayCanvas

I browsed the PlayCanvas website at playcanvas.com and found a game I played earlier on in the semester called star-lord which deals with a robotic looking guy with high graphics detail. I looked into this project a little more to learn a bit about collaborative coding, because one person simply cannot do that much!

In the overview section we can see the team that designed the game over on the left side of the screen. These are the people that collaborated to write the code for this game.
 Next, I clicked the code tab in the middle of the screen and picked one to check out! As seen below, the code for this game is way out of my league, there were about 10 different ones to click on and look at, all of which being multiple pages long. Projects like this require more than one person to collaborate and write the code for, because they are too detailed for one person to do alone. Some popular video-games, including Assassin's Creed and Grand Theft Auto had over one thousand people collaborating to make the game possible.
