In a nutshell: Aren't game engines just pre-programmed instructions written for the user?

• pyglet

  20 1,750 9.5 Python

  pyglet is a cross-platform windowing and multimedia library for Python, for developing games and other visually rich applications.

  

In the same way, if your goal is to make a game, why go to the trouble of writing all the code to do basic things like loading images and drawing sprites and playing sounds when you could just type "import pyglet"?

• Godot

  2,744 83,500 10.0 C++

  Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine

  

When people think of a "game engine", they usually think of something with its own GUI and editor, like the Godot engine or Unity or Unreal Engine, but those are still basically the same thing: a collection of software that does basic game tasks, but with graphical interfaces.
