Hi...
I am newbie to game programming, so excuse me if I ask silly question.
I start to implement my first game. The game is like a turn-base board game.(implemented using Java for Android)
Each player have 14 soldiers. each soldier placed/located in default position.
Before starting game, there is an 'INIT' stage, where each player can change the default location of each of his soldiers.
After each player set their soldiers, the game can start.
My game loop(pseudo code)
while(true){
processUserEvents(); // if its player's TURN, will update the event(else will drop it)
draw(); // redraw
}
My question is: should the stage of 'INIT' need to be inside game loop?
or it should be in a different place, and when 'INIT' finished, only then execute game loop ?
any byte of advice will help.
