The Component of Game Programming
•
Initialization
–
•
Enter Game Loop
–
•
This section draws the image on an off-screen buffer area, and then copied very quickly to the visible
display.
Synchronize Display
–
•
This section contains the majority of the game code.
Render Next Frame
–
•
Retrieve player input from keyboard, mouse or joystick.
Perform AI and Game Logic
–
•
This is where the action begins and continues until user exits the main loop.
Retrieve Player Input
–
•
Memory allocations, resource acquisition, loading data from disk, etc.
Manage the frame rate. Usually 30 fps is considered to be optimal.
Shutdown
–
Indicates the end of the game. This section perform cleanup and exit to operating systems.
Windows Programming Model
•
Multitasking
– Windows allows a number of
different applications to be
executed simultaneously an a
round robin fashion, where each
application gets a small time slice
to run in and then the next
application takes its turn.

Windows Programming Model
• Multithreading
– Programs are really
composed of a number of
simpler threads of execution.
– These threads are scheduled
just like heavier-weight
processes, such as programs.
Process 0
Thread 0
Thread 1
Thread 2

Windows Programming Model
•
Event-Driven Model
System Event Queue
– Windows programs sit
and wait for the user
to do something,
which fires an event,
and the Windows
responds to the event
an takes action.

API (Application Programming Interface)
•
•
Is a programmatically implemented interface provided in the form of a
library. This interface provide a certain number of services for use by an
application program.
Common APIs:
– Windows 32 API.
•
•
int MessageBox(HWND hwnd, LPCTSTR lptext, LPCTSTR lpcaption, UINT utype)
DWORD GetTickCount(void);
– Windows GDI

BOOL LineTo(HDC hdc, int xEnd, int yEnd)
BOOL Rectangular (HDC hdc , int nLeftRect , int nTopRect , int nRightRect , int
nBottomRect)
OpenGL graphic API
Microsoft DirectX API
Sun Microsystem’s Java Platform
Xbox 360’s XInput API

Direct Setup
•
Basically a system
of software that
abstracts video,
audio, input,
networking,
installation, and
more.
DirectX technology
is many times faster
and more robust
that GDI and/or
MCI (Media Control
Interface)

Introduction to OpenGL
• Is a procedural-based 3D graphics API explicitly designed by Silicon
Graphic for the standardized development of 3D and 2D graphical
applications.
• OpenGL is also designed for the creation and execution of graphical
applications over networked computing enviroment.
• Example:
–
glColor(), glVertex(), glBegin()
Game Programming Topics
•
Algorithm, Data Structure, Memory Management
– Arrays, Linked List, Recursion, Tree, Multiple Player Management
•
Artificial Intelligence
– Deterministic Algorithm, Patterns and Scripts, Behavioral state system, Memory
and Learning, Path-finding, Neural Network, Genetic Algorithm, Fuzzy Logic.
•
Physic Modeling
– Fundamental laws of physics: Mass, Time, Position, Velocity, Acceleration,
Force, Momentum.
– Gravity, Friction, Collision response, Forward kinematics, Particle system.
