Managing Game State

This is a simple game state manager inspired from a good article about managing game states , i tried to adapt it in Urho3d
using events rather than loops update on virtual methods that kill performance.

GameStateHandler is a states manager ;
IGameState state base class ,
GameIntroSample splash screen
GameMainMenuSample ,a class for general purposes

Hey. I need to update my state manager so I can do stuff load splash and preloading screens.

I’m looking at your code and trying to figure it out.

From what I can see each main area of a game would go in a subclass in the igamestate. In my code, that’s probably Login, CreateAccount, CreatePlayer, MainScreen, PreloadGameMode(I want to add), GameMode.

The Class Wiki I’m assume would be my App class to ExistenceClient.

I will be doing a lot of cleanup. It is missing error and dialog prompts, worst case checks like missing files, and some other things.

I’m not sure what the use of the Urho3D::SharedPtr<Urho3D::Node> mainNode; would be.

That just creates a root node “Main” under the scene. If you don’t want to use this, you can safely remove its use. It will not affect the functionality of the state manager.

I got the code in and placed it on Github. I just can’t figure out how to change the state.

How is the event change triggered??
