What does SoC stand for?

$begingroup$


… and no, I do not mean System-on-a-Chip. I stumbled upon this question, and found myself wondering about the term. A search on google got me "system-on-a-chip", which I was already familiar with, and "security operations center", which I was less familiar with.



What does SoC stand for in the context of game development (and/or software engineering)?

          It stands for Separation of Concerns, i.e. designing a software so that each section has a specific purpose.



          As you guessed, it's a general software engineer priciple and it is not specific to game design/programming.



          This is often done (and not limited to) to reduce the coupling between sections, resulting in better reusability, code clarity and (sometimes) teamwork.
