GameLoop again
Author
Hi folks,
i am still confused about this gaming loop thing, in detail
i want to accomplish:
* A game loop that has different states
* each state paints it's own windows.Form
* every state can handle it's own OnPaint method
I'd like to code the states like this:
TitleState
* sets Form to 800x600
* creates PictureBox and loads TitleBMP
* on MouseClick or Enter next state (MenuState) should
be loaded
MenuState
* loads new Form, creates some Buttons and tiles
the actual Form to a "Website" like view (buttons
on the left change the content window on the right).
* Klicking on Buttons changes the content panel
on the right, where different Options and some
gameAI is processed (buying/selling troops)
PlayGameState
* loads a GDI+ created Hexagonal Grid (like Battle isle)
* processes UserInput, movement, attact, etc.
The loop is for my 2-D HexagonalBattleGame, which is roundbased.
I am using GDI+ and C#.
Can anybody show me how i can do this best? The mainproblem is
as i said:
* each state paints it's own windows.Form
* every state can handle it's own OnPaint method
one way is to make your states part of a class.
Have a base class with some basic virtual member functions. Then create more specific classes that inherit the base class(game, menu)and then define the virtual functions in these classes polymorphically...
this is what i did

thanks for the idea, can you spend a skeleton code for me?
I find it quite hard to get an overview... and i never
did something with polymorph.
Many thanks in advantage!

Personally I don't beleive that polymorhism is needed with states of an object within a game. What I mean is that within a game (or any program) you can have object's that don't necessarily relate to what the player will see. For example the number of live's left of an enemy. This would be controlled by the enemy object itself and not by the player, or the view of the player, or the game.
Now what you could maybe think of is a game state engine. The state engine would provide comunication with all the other object types that needed to know about a certain state, the obejct states contol the game states and vise versa. This would mean that all base object types would "tell" the state manager about which states it needed to know about on object instansiation.
The obejct manager would have should have 2 input lines and all objects would need a state listener and a state provider..I can provide a base for this if you like...but is the best way to do thing like this in my opinion. Oh you might also problems a with new new states being derivd at runtime. What I mean is that at EVERTING would need to know about all states. The general way of doing this is ith a MASSOVE list (enumg or struct) or you could provide a way od doing this at runtine.....boost hash stuff might help..:)
Right that's the object states that can be seen but what about the file manager and the menu manager..hang on the can use the same bit of kit....groovy!!!
BUT, you were talking about a game loop originally..the best I've seen is on Gamedev. The idea is actually a task mamger. Everything being a task object that is procesed by the kernel (corny names but design wise excellent). Please take a look at the Enginuity articles on Gamedev by SuperPig (One of the GameDev moderators...oh and if you can persuade him to finish them off, would love to see his networkig architecture)
Anyhow.....just some ideas....good luck.
This is a mean bit of technology but well worth the effort

yes, i really would appreciate a base skelleton of your way!
Please post it if you find the time.
"you could maybe think of is a game state engine"
i think i do yes, i already started to write this many times,
but i always failed to seperate my Forms AND keeping everything
i need accessable, so that i just can design forms for every
state, that don't conflict with the forms ot the other states.
"BUT, you were talking about a game loop originally."
Well, i think i meant GameStates and the Loop ;)

well i used polymorphism because i use a stack to hold my gamestate objects, and in the winmain i just use gameState.top()->Render();
so it doesnt matter what state is on the stack, with polymorphism i can call the current top state on the stacks render method which of course can be implemented differnetly per state object (menu, game, pause, endgame, etc..)

Okay..I can provide some code BUT I've not desined it all yet, as I'm only on the basics yet. I telll you what ...any improvements or ideas you have then let me know. Is that ok?
BTW there is a bit. If you need any explanation then just ask.

thanks for posting the code, but since it is most likely C++ (i am using C#)
i don't really understand it ;)
I have a "new try", but i still fail to implement that i have
a seperate Form in every State (or one MainForm with
seperate UserControls for each state), if someone could hack that
code into my skelleton i would really, really be VERY thankfull...
or at least tell me where i should place what to get this work.
