A game engine is not an engine, like you pointed out there's a huge difference. Plus 'game engine' is a generalised name for code in which you write more code to work on it.....so i'm still right.
engine - machinery.
game engine - code.


Ok, now your being pedantic! Surely in a topic like this i wouldn't go off an talk about a car engine.

An please refrain from correcting me, if i need an english lesson i'll be sure to contact you.


Please don't, he probaly doesn't know what pedantic means...

Oh and Flyingfox:

Remember it's generalized, not generalised.


When trying to correct someone, you really should at least try to be correct yourself. Besides the fact that "generalised" is a correct form of the word, you spelled "probably" wrong.

No you're not.

Dictionary.com

engine

<jargon> 1. A piece of hardware that encapsulates some
function but can't be used without some kind of front end.
Today we have, especially, "print engine": the guts of a
laser printer.

2. An analogous piece of software; notionally, one that does a
lot of noisy crunching, such as a "database engine", or
"search engine".



"Engine" is simply something that powers something else, like the engine of a car, or in this case, the engine of a game.
