Games are made of lot of things. You have the main loop/levels which is the hearth of your project but there are also other things that exist around that for the convenience of the player.
Those very common elements of a game are the screens:
- Splash screen: It shows during the (pre)loading of assets when you first open the game
- Intro: After preloading, some games show animations that constitute the intro.
- Main menu: Links/Buttons to other scenes.
- Help: Instructions on how to use the game
- Leaderboards: A ranking of all players, including you
- And many others.
You can have a game that starts straightaway with your main loop, but that's like going to a restaurant where nobody asks you what to eat, the food is presented, you eat and leave without even asking you if you want a dessert :)
