Documentation

Example

Let's take a look on an example:

#define CGE_IMPL
#include "ConsoleGameEngine.hpp"

class Example : public ConsoleGameEngine
{
public:
	Example()
	{
		sAppName = L"Example";
	}
protected:
	virtual bool OnUserCreate() override
	{
		return true;
	}
	virtual bool OnUserUpdate(float fDeltaTime) override
	{
		return true;
	}
};

int main()
{
	Example demo;
	
	if (demo.ConstructConsole(256, 240, 4, 4) == rcode::OK)
		demo.Run();
	
	return 0;
}

First of all we need to include

.

Then we need to create a class, that publicly inherits from

class. Then we need to override a constructor, to set the application name and then we do the same with 2 virtual methods:

OnUserCreate

and

OnUserUpdate

, the second method takes as parameter

fDeltaTime

. They should return

true

to prevent exiting from application.

OnUserCreate

is being called only once, and

OnUserUpdate

on every frame.

Now we need to create a

function, after that we must create instance of our derived class, then we create an if statement with calling

Construct

method where we pass screen width, screen height, font width and font height, if it returns rcode::OK, we can call

Run

method.
