|
|
|
|
--- Ubiquitousse Game Engine.
|
|
-- Main module, containing the main things.
|
|
-- The API exposed here is the Ubiquitousse API.
|
|
-- It is as the name does not imply anymore abstract, and must be implemented in a backend, such as ubiquitousse.love.
|
|
-- When required, this file will try to autodetect the engine it is running on, and load a correct backend.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Ubiquitousse may or may not be used as a full game engine. You can delete the modules files you don't need and Ubiquitousse
|
|
-- should adapt accordingly.
|
|
--
|
|
-- For backend writers:
|
|
-- If a function defined here already contains some code, this means this code is mandatory and you must put/call
|
|
-- it in your implementation.
|
|
-- Also, a backend file shouldn't redefine the ubiquitousse table itself but only redefine the backend-dependant fields.
|
|
-- The API doesn't make the difference between numbers and integers, so convert to integers when needed.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Ubiquitousse's goal is to run everywhere with the least porting effort possible.
|
|
-- To achieve this, the engine needs to stay simple, and only provide features that are almost sure to be
|
|
-- available everywhere, so writing a backend should be straighforward.
|
|
-- However, Ubiquitousse still make some small assumptions about the engine:
|
|
-- * The engine has some kind of main loop, or at least a function called very often (may or may not be the
|
|
-- same as the redraw screen callback).
|
|
-- * 32bit color depth.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Regarding data formats, Ubiquitousse reference implemtations expect and recommend:
|
|
-- * For images, PNG support is expected.
|
|
-- * For audio files, OGG Vorbis support is expected.
|
|
-- * For fonts, TTF support is expected.
|
|
-- Theses formats are respected for the reference implementations, but Ubiquitousse may provide a script to
|
|
-- automatically convert data formats from a project at some point.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Units used in the API:
|
|
-- * All distances are expressed in pixels (px)
|
|
-- * All durations are expressed in milliseconds (ms)
|
|
--
|
|
-- Style:
|
|
-- * tabs for indentation, spaces for esthetic whitespace (notably in comments)
|
|
-- * no globals
|
|
-- * UPPERCASE for constants (or maybe not).
|
|
-- * CamelCase for class names.
|
|
-- * lowerCamelCase is expected for everything else.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Implementation levels:
|
|
-- * backend: nothing defined in Ubiquitousse, must be implemented in backend
|
|
-- * mixed: partly implemented in Ubiquitousse but must be complemeted in backend
|
|
-- * ubiquitousse: fully-working version in Ubiquitousse, may or may not be redefined in backend
|
|
-- The implementation level is indicated using the "@impl level" annotation.
