Go Game Template

A multi threaded game template for modifying to your needs.

Note: This module is still in Alpha, and it may likely see many breaking changes until it is released under v1.0

Installation

git clone https://github.com/AspieSoft/go-game-template

Setup

Most of the files you will need to configure are in the src directory.

The init.go file is called with its Init method once the game starts (a capital Init, not the default lowercase init).

Creating New Game Objects

import (
  "game/BorderMethod"
  "game/gamehandler"
  "image/color"

  "fyne.io/fyne/v2"
  "fyne.io/fyne/v2/canvas"
)

func init(){
  gamehandler.InitObject(func(game *gamehandler.Game) {
    object := game.Add("object", "MyObject", -game.Size.Width - 5, -game.Size.Height - 5, 5, 5, func(game *gamehandler.Game) fyne.CanvasObject {
      res := canvas.NewRectangle(color.RGBA{255, 0, 0, 255})
      return res
    })

    // by default, border detection and other builtin features run on the 120 fps draw method
    // setting an objects Preferred FPS allows you to override this to use a slower thread if needed
    // recommended: use 60 fps for a player, to prevent input lag (30 fps works better for entities)
    object.PreferredFPS = 30

    object.VelX = 3
    object.VelY = 3

    // there are optional builtin methods for handling basic common tasks
    object.BorderMethod = BorderMethod.Bounce

    object.Update := func(game *gamehandler.Game, thread *gamehandler.ThreadInfo) {
      // run updates on a 60 fps thread
      // useful for most common game updates, or player related updates with less lag
    }

    object.UpdateSlow := func(game *gamehandler.Game, thread *gamehandler.ThreadInfo) {
      // run updates on a slower 30 fps thread
      // useful for a large number of extra objects to share a slower thread
    }

    object.UpdateBasic := func(game *gamehandler.Game, thread *gamehandler.ThreadInfo) {
      // run updates on a slow, cpu saving 15 fps thread
      // useful for larger math operations
    }

    object.Draw := func(game *gamehandler.Game, thread *gamehandler.ThreadInfo) {
      // run updates on a fast 120 fps thread
      // useful for graphics
    }
  }
