Design the GameManager

Introductions

Introduce yourselves!

Icebreaker: What is your favorite game of all time?

Groupwork

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

Use an Object-Oriented approach

Assume you have the base Manager class

    class GameManager : Manager {

      // Attributes
      private:

      // Methods
      public:

    };

1. Questions:

   • What are the basic GameManager responsibilities?

   • What methods are needed?

   • What attributes does it need?

2. Provide an example of how the GameManager will be used by a game programmer.

3. What other Managers do you expect the GameManager to use?

Hand-in

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

Make sure to include the names of all group members.

Happy game-managing!
