Yes. I have been working on the concept for several weeks now...and
doing testing with several graphics libraries to determine which one to
use. I've also been thinking about this weird implementation routine --
i think i got it from someone on the list -- anyways, instead of running
the game inside a continuous loop, run it in a linear fashion.
Essentially, I see the game as "jump starting" itself and running an
"interpreter" function which reads a sequence (linearly) and calls other
functions as listed in the sequence. These other functions actually
perform game maintenance, including adding more functions to the end of
the interpreter sequence, so that the game continues in a logical
fashion. The one other action the interpreter contains is the "end"
routine, which boots the game out when it reaches an "end" statement in
the interpreter sequence. It would seem to me that this kind of style
would be more work at the front end, but less work if you ever wanted to
make another game, since the main portion (graphical, mouse, sound,
interpreter) would all be ready to run...just specific game mechanics
would be left (maybe the "game" itself would just be several .e
files--so that many games could _actually_ run off the same code).
Also, you wouldn't have as many "stop and wait for the loop to end" type
functions sitting in the middle of yer game...
noah

Hey, what a coincidence? I'm doing something like that too :)
