Help with game development. Render loop?
- by John
Hello,
I'm working on a simple game, this is my first game project.
Most of the samples I find have a Render Loop where all the game logic is made too and I just don't like this.
Let's say I have a ball with X=0, and a wall in X=10 and in a slow machine, the first loop places the ball in X=7 and in a second loop, it places the ball in X=14. It would just crash the game!
Is this "render loop" the right way to make games? Should I write code to check for things like this in every frame? Example, new frame X=14, last frame have X=7, so I should check if there's anything from X=7 to X=14??
I was thinking that I should have a separated thread for the game logic and in the render loop, I should just "take a snapshot" of the current game logic and display that, no?
How do you guys, experienced game developers work around this?
thanks!
