dolanan_sfml's Issues

Game Cycle

GameCycle is interface class, used for entity and component

• Initialization called at the beginning of the constructor (I don't know if this is needed? how c++ handle constructor?)
• Start called when this object enters to the world
• Update called each frame, fps bassed
• FixedUpdate called at constants time, the best use case for physics, input (for an online game)
• LateUpdate called after Update, the best use case for Camera movement
• Input called when input event update is occurred, we need to separate this since it will be nice and clean

So, my idea is quite similar to Dolanan monogame

• World is the whole game, world contains all layers and cycling it main process
• Layer is like a layer in a graphics application, you can Load and unload whenever you need. Layer is like a stage. Layer hold the Entity
• Actor is a game object/actor in other mainstream engines.
• Component is a part of entity that gives entity a feature, like collision, renderer, tilemap, etc

Entity and Component

Entity

Entity is a GameObject / Actor in some mainstream game engines.

Component

Component is a part of entity, it will give entity some feature such as sprite, collider, etc

Multiplatform support

sfml support custom backend engine, example can be found here : https://github.com/SFML/SFML/tree/master/examples
