Program flow?

Hia guys!
Ok, I''m about to start a "real" 3d engine now...
What I''m wondering is how I should manage my "flow" of the engine?
This time I would like to do it in somewhat professional way. So far I have managed ok with something like this:
Take a look at the Enginuity series here on GameDev.
daerid: Menue is a word when you display the menue over your sceene
daerid: Menue is a word when you display the menue over your sceene
You don''t tell much what kind of game you are thinking about and how you will interact different features.
If you think of a modern 3dgame, then I a simple solution as this will be enough:
bool update( ... )
{
if( menu.enabled() )
menu.update(...);
else
game.update(...);
}
bool render(...)
{
game.render(...);
if( menu.enabled() )
menu.render(...);
}
In most games, I don''t really see why a statemanager should be needed. But you can of course make one. You can have a pointer to a CBaseapplicaiton inside your managerclass
CBaseApp* pMenu = new CMenu();
CBaseApp* pGame = new CGame();
main()
{
statemgr.setstate(MAINENGINE);
while(1)
{
statemgr.update();
}
}
Statemgr::setstate(int state)
{
m_state = state;
switch(state)
{
case MENU: m_subset = pMenu;
}
}
Statemgr::update()
{
if( m_action == INIT )
{
m_subset.init();
m_action = RUN;
}
if ( m_action == DEINIT )
{
m_subset.cleanup();
m_action = NULL;
}
if ( m_action == RUN )
{
m_subset.update();
m_subset.draw();
}
}

daerid ... just fuck off...
Well, actually I just wanted to hear from you guys how you have your applications built upp. I just wanted some ideas on how a good application should be built
And I want my application to "look" good, heh - where my idea about a statemanager came in. "the more complicated the better" hehe...
So feel free to post any method you use...
thx to the other two guys!
