Changeset 917 for code/branches/network/src/orxonox/Orxonox.cc

Timestamp:

Mar 21, 2008, 6:14:31 PM (17 years ago)

Author:

Message:

• merged all changes in the input branch into this one
• moved Tickable to core (would have created circular library dependencies)
• exported OrxListener to a separate file, soon to be deleted

changed

, &&, XOR back to or, and, xor because I found the necessary include file for VC++

• created abortRequest() in Orxonox.cc to call for a smooth end of the game (an alternative would be to make tick() return a boolean, like it is with frameStarted())

File:

• code/branches/network/src/orxonox/Orxonox.cc (modified) (13 diffs)

+    Main loop of the orxonox game.
+    This is a new solution, using the ogre engine instead of beeing used by it.
+    An alternative solution would be to simply use the timer of the Root object,

+    if any part of ogre registers a framelisteners, it will still behave
+    correctly. Furthermore I have taken over the time smoothing feature from
