The engine is that part of your program you probably call "game". The engine does simply everything in your game, loading pictures, moving players, hitting enemies, adding scores, storing savegames, even drawing the internal map or 3d data to your screen (or at least pass it to the renderer). The only thing your engine probably doesn't do is creating game data. In normal case you write an editor beside the engine so you can edit the data simplier... however, basically engine means nothing more like your game's main program.

Actually, I would class that as a game. You can write a game without writing an engine. An engine is a system that drives your game, but the game logic itself is completly separate from the engine. In this way, the engine can be reused without modification.

Here is one of my basic Final Fantasy Engine. The only thing not really completed is the use of items, but you check it out here:

super star, quit spamming. please. We heard about your game already, and you aren't going to help him figure out what an engine is by posting a link to a game. At least try to keep your spam somewhat on-topic.
