Abstract

Video games are among the most popular games among many young people of the current generation and are characterized by the diversity of attractive visual designs, as well as the different ideas and levels of these games. Game developers compete to open new horizons to provide players with immersive experiences that are almost indistinguishable from reality to create total merging and use of different visual styles for characters and virtual environments.



With artificial intelligence entering the field of design, one of the fields in which it is distinguished, it can be used in designing the visual elements of games of any kind, whether strategy games or intelligence and memory games, and whether they are group or individual games over the Internet or on the personal computer.



Ancient Egyptian mythology is considered one of the most important sources of inspiration and creativity in the fields of visual arts. These ancient myths came to clarify the issues that preoccupied people, express their needs, and simplify phenomena for which they were unable to find an explanation. Myth is the intellectual vessel that contained the ancient Egyptians’ ideas about explaining the forces of nature and their perception for the world of eternity. The myth was not limited to the novel only. The Egyptian artist embodied the details of these various myths on the walls of temples and tombs, where the artworks were of prominent sculpture and painting to embody the legendary epic as a reflection of the imaginative thought of the ancient Egyptian.
