Apart from the resources themselves, almost all games have their own scripting language. This simplifies things in the whole development process, as it's then easier to assign tasks to specific people. Programmers deal with the code itself, game designers deal with writing scripts using the language that the game interpreter understands, graphics designers deal with the artistic part of the game, music composers with the audio and so on. Although the basic elements of each game are standard, each game implements them in a very different manner. The most important aspect of adventure games is the way they work "behind the scenes", which includes the kind of logic used and how this is implemented in each game, the kind of interaction expected from the user (e.g. some games allow you to use verbs on objects like "use object 1 with object 2", whereas other games just allow the user to single click on objects). The resources themselves are not useful at all without the game logic, which is the most difficult part to implement in a game. In fact, there are many resource viewers which can be used to view resources from a large number of different games, but they don't deal with the logic behind those resources at all. A brief introduction to how logic works in each game is explained in the next part.
