What it does
The original architecture of this game came from Game Programming Patterns, which was as fun to read as it was to implement. It included things like this:
- Fixed-step game loop
- Double-buffered object states
- The update method
- Game object components
- Game-wide event aggregator
- Prototypes for data modeling
- AABB collision detection
However, I wanted to push a little further on the anything-can-be-anything idea, and try creating a separate game engine that supported Component-Entity-Sytems. The result was Manic, and I think I like how that turned out.
Next steps
- An actual win condition
- Power-ups
- Configurable tile-layer
- Even more things
