Video game workshop #10

Idea

Workshop participants can build a game by composing simple geometric shapes and events into their own game logic.

Technical requirements

An easy-to-use graphics package
- Maintain this by ourselves to guarantee stability
- Support only a few simple shapes
- The actual work can be done by a more complex backend system, e.g. Glium, Glutin, some part of Piston, gfx or whatever… Need to make sure to depend on a fixed version.
A mechanism for event handling

milibopp commented 8 years ago

Personally, I would like to replicate a simplified variant of the Elm architecture for event handling. In its most recent iteration this would even mean not exposing FRP primitives, if they are even used at all.

I am working on some building blocks for this, which I want to consolidate a bit over the weekend.

@aepsil0n: Interesting. Can you post some good reference material on the Elm architecture?

milibopp commented 8 years ago

Here you go. Replace HTML by our hypothetical graphics API.

milibopp commented 8 years ago

Oh, and this is where I'm at. It still depends on Elmesque at the moment, which I intend to replace, as it is not super-maintained and the Elm graphics API, after which it is modelled has been deprecated. And we started to build a pacman-clone with it for testing.

Has anyone seen https://scalatron.github.io/? That seems like it could be an interesting source of inspiration.
