Detailed Description

The Director is a singleton (accessed via Director.Instance) that manages the scene stack and calls the update loop of the Scheduler and ActionManager.

Its Update/Render/PostSwap functions must be called manually once in the user main loop, if you are managing the main loop yourself. It also holds a graphics context (GL), a SpriteRenderer object (that is mostly for internal used but that you can also use directly), and a DrawHelpers that is mosty used internally when drawing debug information.

Member Function Documentation

static void Initialize	(	uint	sprites_capacity = 500,
		uint	draw_helpers_capacity = 400,
		Sce.PlayStation.Core.Graphics.GraphicsContext	context = null
	)		[static]

Initialize GameEngine2D.

Parameters:

sprites_capacity	The maximum number of sprites, passed to SpriteRenderer's constructor.
draw_helpers_capacity	The maximum number of vertices that we can use in DrawHelpers.
context	The core graphics context.

void RunWithScene	(	Scene	scene,
		bool	manual_loop = false
	)

This function must be called once by user, to tell the system which Scene object it should start with.

Parameters:

scene	The scene to run.
manual_loop	Is set to true, the main loop won't be started (the user will have to implement it).
