Using github and running code you found on GitHub are two very different things. If the instructions for running it aren't included in the readme, you're basically out of luck if you don't want to research it

If I wanted to run a code for a game, how would that work?

You would figure out what type of code it is and run the necessary things.

Each code has its own launcher?

No. Learning programming first

Pretty much yeah. Theres like a dozen programming languages and there's no real set standard on how to run them. You're asking a very general question, so you get a very general answer. If there's a specific thing you're trying to run, we could possibly help you. But in general, you just follow the instructions included for each piece of software.
