Programming – Week 4
|
This week we have worked together in class on creating a blueprint for a ”simple” game engine. We are going to use this engine to create a copy of Arkanoid. The engine includes a DrawManager, InputManager and a StateManager so far. DrawManager creates a window and a renderer. It has a functions that clears the screen with a single color and a functions that presents what we have drawn onto the screen. InputManager contains a Mouse and Keyboard pointer. The values of inside the pointers is set from SDL_Event ‘s. The events are controlled and checked inside a function in Engine called HandleEvents. StateManager handles different states. A state can be for an example GameState which handles logic and drawing for when the game is running. We could also have a MenuState which has its own logic and drawing. By using polymorphism we can create different logic and drawing in each state.  |
