Main-Loop Redesign

[patrick]

Introduction

The orxonox main loop is the core of the orxonox framework. It updates all objects, events and states, renders and displays the scene. This process is executed with each frame (the frame is the result of this process). The whole framework runs with the frames frequency and therefor is dependant on the both rendering (GPU) and calculating (CPU) time.

Goal

In order to be able to update object positions more often - this is critical for object collision detection and physical collision reactions - this main loop needs to be split into different parts. Each part needs to be updated (executed) with a specific frequency. This should all be very adaptable.

Advanced Goal

Think about scalability and determine the requirements for multi-threading. Create a ticket for it and open it for discussion in the orxonox forum.
