Module crayon::application

A unified application model across all target platforms.

Application

An application needs to run on all types of esoteric host platforms. To hide trivial platform-specific details, we offers a convenient trait Application facade which defined methods, that will be called in a pre-determined order every frame.

The most intuitive and simple setup function could be something like:

struct Window { ... }
impl Application for Window { ... }

fn main() {
    let mut engine = Engine::new();
    let window = Window::new(&mut engine).unwrap();
    engine.run(window).unrwap();
}

Engine

Engine mentioned above is the most fundamental module in crayon. It binds various essential systems in a central place, and responsible for running the main loop.

Re-exports

pub use self::time::TimeSystem;

pub use self::settings::Settings;

pub use self::context::Context;

Modules

context	The context of systems that could be accessed from multi-thread environments.
event	Responsible for converting window messages to input state and internal events.
settings	Functions for loading game settings.
time	Timing and stepping system.

Structs

Engine	Engine is the root object of the game application. It binds various sub-systems in a central place and takes take of trivial tasks like the execution order or life-time management.
FrameInfo	The collected information during last frame.

Traits

Application

Application is a user-friendly facade to build application, which consists of several event functions that get executed in a pre-determined order.
