The Game Loop

Introductions

Introduce yourselves!

Icebreaker: What is the worst game you have spent a lot of time on?

Groupwork

In the Tutorial, we saw the high-level view of a Game Code:

        A. Startup Engine
        B. Populate world with objects
        C. Run game
        D. Shutdown Engine

1. What is happening in C) above? (Hint: we have a loop) What are the steps in the loop? When does it end?

2. What determines the speed of the loop (i.e., how fast does it iterate through the loop)?

3. What component of a game engine should handle the Game Loop?
