Handles main updates and provides global locators for all managers

Required Methods

fn is_debug(&self) -> bool

Defined by the EngineFactory, can be used for conditional logic relating to build modes and debug.

fn is_local(&self) -> bool

Identifies a non network location, can be used for conditional logic relating to build modes and debug.

fn is_eyecandy(&self) -> bool

Toggleable by the user, intended to be used as a switch to disable intensive, but non essential, content (performance vs wow).

fn set_eyecandy(&self, val: bool)

Toggle eyecandy

fn is_fullscreen(&self) -> bool

Toggleable by the user, enables or disables full screen mode.

fn set_fullscreen(&self, val: bool)

Toggle fullscreen

fn overlay(&self) -> Box<dyn Overlay>

The topmost visual element, used for chrome & global controls.

fn assets(&self) -> Box<dyn AssetManager>

Assets manager.

fn audio(&self) -> Box<dyn AudioManager>

Audio manager.

fn inputs(&self) -> Box<dyn InputManager>

Inputs manager.

fn scenes(&self) -> Box<dyn SceneManager>

Scene manager. State machine containing Entities.

fn tools(&self) -> Box<dyn Tools>

Helper methods.

fn factory(&self) -> Box<dyn EngineFactory>

Build properties and factory methods to create the application.

fn session(&self) -> Box<dyn Session>

Read and write globally accessible variables.

fn set_session(&self, val: Box<dyn Session>)

Set session variables

fn get_framerate(&self, as_actual: Option<bool>) -> f32

Request the framerate of the application.

Arguments

• asActual - Use actual framerate (potentially laggy), or the desired framerate (from EngineFactory). (optional: default: true)

Return: Frames per second.

fn on_preloader_complete(&self, preloader: Box<dyn Preloader>)

Internal method called when preloader completes; launches the starting scene as defined by EngineFactory::starting_scene_type.

Arguments

• preloader - Corresponding Preloader.
