Designing the DisplayManager

Groupwork

Design a DisplayManager for a game engine (e.g., Dragonfly).

Use an Object-Oriented approach.

Assume you have the base Manager class:

    class DisplayManager : Manager {

      // Attributes
      private:

      // Methods
      public:

    };

1. Class questions:

   • What state does the DisplayManager need to keep track of? So, what attributes does it need?

   • What methods are needed (Hint: also consider the game loop)?

2. What happens when the DisplayManager starts up? Shuts down?

3. What is an example call to the DisplayManager? Who calls it?

Hand-in

Have ONE person from each group submit the group's answers:

Make sure to include the names of all group members.

Happy display managing!
