Game Engine - 07/09/16

So since the last time I posted the messages about Planet Rendering, I have been developing my game engine.

The 3D Graphics part is almost done, after i finish it i plan doing more advanced GUIs and then physics.

The engine framework is based on events and messages. There are multiple systems, for example, the Graphics, UI, GUI, Console (To debug), Physics, Network and Game Logic.

All of them communicate with each other by messages. For example, UI detects that the user pressed ESC, so it posts a message in the message bus saying that ESC was pressed. Then, the GUI system receives the message and knows that ESC means pause the game. So it opens the pause menu. It then sends a message to physics saying to stop everything.

Here is a diagram:


I will post some pics in the next post.
