you’d like me to write it for you?

if you’re unsure about abstract have a look at the language reference.

I suggested abstract over virtual as people might not know you need to call super (even if you write it in the frameworks readme!)

bare in mind vsync can be overriden by user settings on Linux, ~/.drirc on Intel GPU and on Nvidia there is a GUI that allows you to override frame sync.

Looking at the way most games work, including unity seem to just ignore user settings and assume frame sync is enabled meaning they run at silly speed! There are some games that seem to work correctly however regardless of user sync setting.

can I suggest that you make some of the methods abstract and those that do need code like OnRender make them call another method that is abstract. My idea is here that the end user would have one object to create and just simply override methods in the framework rather than hacking on the framework itself…

One technique is to render the whole game to a texture and then use that texture to render a whole screen sized poly using your sfx shader, you need decent hardware

It should also noted that while graphics effects do add to presentation they do nothing for game play or balance or any of the other important aspects of a crackimg game, ive played some fantastic games that look quite plain – worth thinking about….

check with a cpu load meter both on all platforms you can, but you might need to yield to the OS (sleep) after onDeactivated.

I’d do some canvas.scale first thing onRender, so you can preserve either a fixed resolution (that gets scaled) or ideally a fixed resolution scalled to a fixed aspect ratio…

also in keywords – can you mix up the case a bit like UsInG just for pedants… >:)

I’d suggest hacking the doc generator to optionally provide docu files instead of html, rather than convert html->docu

It would be really nice to get some official sanction for a small team, so that then the only docs Mark has to worry about is some API doc comments, this releases him to do more valuable work….

It makes practically NO difference.

Code is available throygh the link at the end of the article

which keywords?

update before or after draw is basically irrelevant because there is always draw before an update, regardless of which way round they happen in the code…

I wonder if these couldn’t be done with reflection, ie the jason property name provides the variable name thats looked up and used via reflection, but mind you this could potentially cause a security issue…

[codifiesParticipant]

can’t see most of your code, not sure what you’re trying to improve…??

@ethernaut – don’t know if this will help but shader output is(edit isn’t!!) “passed” to the graphics card, its actually *running* on the GPU itself, there used to be a bunch of “built in” variables, but in GLES2.0 there is just vertex and fragment output gl_Position and gl_FragColor (in later versions you just define any old variable as “out”)

I found this book most useful http://www.opengles-book.com/es2/ (yipes that was more than 6 years ago!!!)

in contrast to mediawiki I found pmwiki much much easier to install, the “database” is just a bunch of individual files, 1 per page seemed a lot less bloaty!

[codifiesParticipant]

I’ve taken a look at pmwiki it looks quite nice, it should be very easy to have the doc generator optionally generate wiki markup instead of html…

[codifiesParticipant]

… if only there was a wiki for all this stuff…

[codifiesParticipant]

the autog enerated doc’s aint that hot, for example there are a number of places where you can’t access links to WindowEvent docs (and I bet there are other broken links in the docs)

I’d quite like to see some kind of document validator.

What is far more pressing is the examples of *how* stuff should actually be used, rather than just a description of the API

With a trusted group of wiki moderators examples could be submitted, even honed by others, and fleshed out with a small article, all without taking up Marks valuable time…
