Compile

Programmers have to convert source code, written in a high-level language such as C, into object code (typically Assembly language), so that a microprocessor can run the program. This is similar to the process artists go thru in order to create game art-- I create textures in Photoshop, saving them in PSD format, then I convert them down to the appropriate bitmap format for use in the game. However, it can take a long time for programmers to compile their code, like overnight or a couple days, depending on the complexity.
